You can link any or all of the four sample points. When sample points are linked, moving one of
them will move the linked points correspondingly. For example, suppose the current sample's
Start (S) point is 0.0 seconds, and its Alt (A) point is 0.5 seconds. The interval between the
sample's Start and Alt points is exactly half a second. If you select the Start parameter, then press
the Link soft button, the Start point will be linked. This won't have any effect until you link at
least one more point. If you select the Alt parameter and press the Link soft button, the Start and
Alt points will be linked. Now if you move the Start point to 1.0 seconds, the Alt point
automatically moves to 1.5 seconds, preserving the half-second interval between Start and Alt.
To remove the link on any of the points, select the point again, and press the Link soft button
again. The arrow changes to a colon, indicating that the link has been removed.
As a convenience, the Song mode button also serves as a link button while in the Sample Editor.

Name, Save, Delete, and Dump

These soft buttons are similar to the Name, Save, Delete, and Dump soft buttons in the other
editors, initiating the corresponding dialogs to name, save, delete, or dump the currently
selected sample.
When you press the Save soft button, and choose to save the sample to a new ID, the K2000 asks
you if you want to copy the sample data. If you answer Yes, the K2000 makes a separate copy of
the sample. If you answer No, the K2000 simply marks the location of the original sample data
and shares the sample between the original and the edited sample. This can save a great deal of
memory space. If you delete a sample that's partially or completely shared with another, the
K2000 deletes only the portions that are unused by the shared sample, always optimizing its
memory for maximum storage capacity.
Note that if you use the Utility function to view the objects currently stored in the K2000, you'll
see each object listed separately, including shared samples. The shared samples will each
indicate their size, even though they're referring to the same memory location. This might lead
you to believe that you're using more memory for samples than you actually are. If you use the
Utility function to calculate your total sample memory usage, remember not to include any
shared samples in the total.

The Page Buttons

The soft buttons labeled in all capital letters select the various pages in the Sample Editor:
MISC, TRIM, and LOOP (as well as DSP when you're editing RAM samples).

The Miscellaneous (MISC) Page

On the MISC page, you'll set several parameters that affect the behavior of the current sample.
These parameters affect the entire sample. The diagram of the MISC page shows a ROM sample,
and since the DSP functions cannot be applied to ROM samples, the DSP soft button is not
available. In its place is the Link soft button, which enables you to maintain equal times
between various points in the sample—Start and Alt, for example.
