Sampling and Sample Editing
Editing Samples
start and end of the sample. It affects only the portion of the sample that you want to process.
When you audition the sample by triggering a note, youÕll hear only the range of the sample
within the Start and End parameters on the current DSP page. To hear the entire sample, press
the Done soft button to return to the Sample Editor page. Similarly, moving the S and E
parameters on the TRIM or LOOP pages have no effect on the Start and End parameters on the
DSP pages.
Use the Plus/Minus buttons or the Alpha Wheel to select the starting and ending positions of
the selected sample segment (the Start and End parameters). You can audition the selected
sample segment by triggering any note within the current key range.
The actual processing of the sample begins when you press the Go button. The K2vx will
display a row of scrolling dots while itÕs processing. When itÕs Þnished, it will prompt you :
ÒKeep these changes?Ó Trigger a note to hear the result. Press the No soft button to return to the
page for the currently selected DSP function. This will undo any changes youÕve made. Press
the Yes soft button to make the change. The Save dialog will appear (except for the Truncate
function). You can save to a different ID than the one displayed, if you want to preserve the
original sample. Pressing the Cancel soft button will return you to the current DSP page
without saving the sample. (the sample reverts to its original condition.)
Six of the DSP functions ( Mix, Mix Beat, Mix Echo, Insert, Replicate, and Beat Volume Adjust)
involve selecting a second sample segment (Sample 2) to be processed with the currently
selected sample. In these cases, use the Samp2 soft button. When you press it, another page
appears, enabling you to select a second RAM sample using the Alpha Wheel or the
alphanumeric buttonpad. You can audition Sample 2 by triggering a note.
Once youÕve selected Sample 2, use the Start and End parameters to deÞne the start and end
positions of the segment of Sample 2 that you want to process. While youÕre on the Samp2
page, youÕll hear the currently selected Samp2 when you trigger a note. When these positions
are deÞned, press the OK soft button to return to the DSP page where you can continue your
editing.
Once youÕve selected a sample on the Samp2 page, it remains selected until you return to the
Samp2 page and select another sample. You can always use the Samp2 page to audition a
second sample.
You can use the Copy soft button on the Samp2 page to copy the selected segment to a buffer,
then paste the segment into Sample 1 when you return to the DSP page.

Cut
This button will cut (remove) the currently selected sample segment from the currently selected
sample, and store it in a buffer. This is equivalent to cutting a section out of a piece of audio
tape and splicing the remaining ends together. The cut segment is then available for pasting
elsewhere in the sample. The segment you cut will remain in memory until you replace it with
another cut or copy command, or until the K2vx is shut off. If you accidently cut a sample
segment, you can restore it by immediately pressing the Paste soft button.
Compare this function to the Delete DSP function, which removes the selected sample segment,
but doesnÕt store it in a buffer. If you delete a sample segment, itÕs gone.
