Sampling and Sample Editing
Editing Samples
Similar to Volume Ramp, this function applies a curve that scales the amplitude of the selected
sample segment. Unlike Volume Ramp, however, you simply select a start and end point, and a
single level. The amount of cut or boost starts at 0dB at the start point of the ramp, and reaches
the level you specify when it reaches the end point of the ramp. The samples after the end point
are scaled to the amplitude level of the end point.
When you set a negative end level (decrescendo), the sample's volume is cut by the amount
you specify. If you set a positive end level (crescendo), the sample segment is first cut by the
amount you specify, then is boosted back to its original level. This enables you to add large
crescendos without clipping the sample. You may want to adjust the gain of the layer using the
sample to match its level with other sounds.
Use the Curve parameter to select the shape of the curve within the selected segment. The
available values are LIN, EXP, COS, EQL, and MIX. These curves are described at the end of the
section on DSP functions.

Use this function to change the sample rate of the samples in the selected segment. This is
convenient for converting samples to new rates matching those of other samples to be mixed
with or inserted into. It's also useful for saving memory and altering the timbre of a sample.
If you include the entire sample in the segment, the new rate will be applied to the entire
sample, and will be saved with the sample. If you select a shorter segment, only that segment
will be modified, and it will sound pitch shifted relative to the remainder of the sample. To
resample so that you'll hear a higher pitch for the selected segment, select a lower sample rate.
For a lower pitch at the selected segment, choose a higher sample rate. This is because the
K2500 applies the same playback rate to the entire sample, and doesn't compensate for the
differing sample rates of the sample segments.
If the loop points of a looped sample are included in the segment to be converted, the K2500
will ask you if you want to adjust the rate slightly to optimize the loop. Press the No soft button
if you don't want the rate adjusted.
You can use the Quick parameter to select from two resampling routines. Use Quick 0 to get an
idea of the sound, then use Quick 1 for your final take.
