Now analog input signals will trigger samples in the click program. The samplerÕs analog
inputs are stereo, so you can trigger samples on two different keys. The left channel will trigger
samples that are one key above the Click Key; the right channel will trigger samples that are two
keys above the Click Key.
One great use for the trigger inputs is to replace the kick and snare from a multi-track recording
with samples in your K2600. Assuming the kick and snare are recorded on separate tracks, and
the Click Key is C4, the recorded drums will trigger samples assigned to C
program.
Keep in mind that the Click Key number is separate from the trigger key numbers. This is
because you may want to use the click program as the metronome sound, and trigger samples
other than the Click. To do this, go to Program mode, select the click program, and press Edit.
Then press the KEYMAP button and press Edit again. Now assign your samples to the two keys
above the Click Key deÞned on the Song-mode MISC page. Before you leave the Program
Editor, be sure the KeyTrk parameter on the KEYMAP page is set to 100ct/key.
When you save the edited click program, remember to replace it in the same location. If you save
to a new location, set the new program number in the Click Program parameter on the
Song-mode MISC page.
Live Mode
If you have the sampling option, you can use what we call Live mode. In Live mode, the K2600
takes any input signal and routes it through the VAST DSP algorithms and KDFX. You can
connect any audio sourceÑsynths, mics, CD players, anythingÑto any of the K2600Õs sampling
inputs, and treat that input as if it were a regular VAST program.
The easiest way to use Live mode is to use one of the factory programs (740Ð749).Some of the
programs are optimized for certain applications (for example, guitar cabinet simulations), while
others are meant to be used as templates.
You canÕt use Live mode and make samples at the same time, since both features use thesame
internal components.
Creating a Live Mode Program
1. Press the Sample soft button to bring up the SampleMode page.
2. Set the Src parameter for the source you are using.
3. Set the Mode parameter to LiveIn.
4. Use one or both of the live-input keymaps (197 and 198) in an existing LM program, or in
Highlight the Thresh parameter on the SampleMode page, and adjust the input sensitivity
so that your input signal causes smooth triggering. Threshold values approaching -90db
let you trigger the sample using a lower input level, while values approaching -6db
require a greater input level.
For example, if you have plugged a microphone into the K2600Õs HiZ sampling input,
choose Ext. Be careful if you choose Int, since you can inadvertently create a feedback
loop.
Two samples will automatically be created: 197 Live Input L at C 4 and 198 Live Input R,
also at C 4. The soft buttons on this page are disabled when you set Mode to LiveIn.
