There are three basic sample editing pagesÑTRIM, LOOP, and MISC (Miscellaneous). The soft
buttons for these pages are visible when you enter the Sample Editor. The DSP soft button is
visible as well if youÕre editing a RAM sample; pressing it will take you to the DSP function
page, where you can select a DSP function with the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons.
The DSP soft button does not appear if youÕre viewing a ROM sample. Instead youÕll see a
Link soft button.
The <more> soft buttons will take you to the soft buttons for the other functions. You can
trigger notes at any time while youÕre editing, to hear your changes as you make them.

The Function Soft Buttons in the Sample Editor

In addition to the MISC, TRIM, and LOOP soft buttons, which select Sample Editor pages, there
are several function soft buttons. As with other K2vx editors, the function soft buttons are
labeled with upper and lower case letters, to distinguish them from the page selection soft
buttons, which are labeled in all capital letters. The <more> soft buttons give you access to the
other soft buttons that are available.
Zoom- and Zoom+
These buttons are active only when youÕre viewing the TRIM and LOOP pages. They increase
or decrease the resolution of the waveform display, enabling you to see a larger or smaller
segment of the waveform of the currently selected sample. The top line of the display indicates
the zoom position in terms of a fractionÑfor example, 1/256Ñwhich indicates the number of
individual sample elements represented by each display pixel. A value of 1/256 means that
each pixel represents 256 individual sample elements. The maximum zoom setting of 1 shows
you a very small segment of the sample. The minimum setting of 1/16384 shows you the
largest possible segment of the sample. Each press of a Zoom soft button increases or decreases
the zoom by a factor of 4.
As a convenience, the Program and Setup mode buttons also serve as zoom buttons while in
the Sample Editor. You can press the two left soft buttons together to toggle between the default
zoom setting and your current zoom setting.
Gain- and Gain+
Also active only for the TRIM and LOOP pages, these buttons increase or decrease the
magniÞcation of the currently displayed sample waveform, enabling you to see the waveform
in greater or lesser detail. At the left of the display, youÕll see the magniÞcation setting, which is
expressed in dB units. You can adjust the magniÞcation from -72 dB (maximum magniÞcation)
to 0 dB. This doesnÕt affect the actual amplitude of the sample, only the magniÞcation of its
display.
