Sampling with the K2000
Setting Up For Sampling

The Timer Soft Button

If you need to delay the beginning of your sample recording, you can press the Timer soft
button instead of the Record or Auto soft buttons. This begins a ten-second countdown before
sample recording actually starts. The display shows the countdown. When the countdown
reaches zero, The Program, Setup, MIDI, and Master mode LEDs flash three times. If you have
the Thresh parameter set to a value of Off, sample recording starts immediately after the LEDs
flash. If you have the Thresh parameter set to a value other than Off, sample recording begins
when the countdown has finished and the threshold level is exceeded.

The Preview Soft Button

When you've finished taking a sample, you can press the Preview soft button to automatically
create a keymap and program using the new sample. It uses the settings for the Default program
199 as a template. Unlike the temporary keymap that's created when you audition a sample
(and disappears when you select another sample), the preview keymap and program are stored
in RAM and can be selected at a later time.
When you press the Preview soft button, the Bank dialog appears, prompting you to select a
bank where the preview program will be stored. Select a bank, then press the OK soft button.
The K2000 creates a keymap and a program, using the lowest available ID numbers in that bank
for both the keymap and the program. The display tells you the ID number of the new program.

Sampling the K2000's Output

You can sample the K2000's own sounds when in Analog sampling mode. If there are no cables
connected to the Analog sampling input, the K2000 or K2000S will record its output
automatically. Just hold a note or chord, then press the Record soft button. The K2000 samples
the note(s) as played, without any controller information (just the raw sound, minus the first
few milliseconds). The K2000R and K2000RS also sample their own outputs in a similar fashion.
To do so, set the Src parameter on the Sample mode page to a value of Int.

Sampling Digital Signals

The process for sampling through either of the digital inputs is essentially the same, although
there are a few additional parameters associated with digital sampling formats.
You'll notice that the Sample mode page changes considerably when you change the value of
the Input parameter from Analog to Digital. There are a few more settings to be made before
you start recording.

The first difference is the fact that there are no parameters for gain and sample rate. There's no
need for a gain parameter because with digital sampling, since you're making an exact digital
copy of the source signal. The Rate parameter is excluded because the K2000 automatically
recognizes the source sample's rate and sets its own rate accordingly. Also, the Mon parameter
