Sampling the K2600's Output
You can sample the K2600Õs own sounds when in Analog sampling mode. To do so, set the Src
parameter on the SampleMode page to a value of Int. Then, just press the Record soft button
and start playing.
The K2600Õs Òsample-while-playÓ capabilities offer a number of useful possibilities. It allows
you, for example, to create composite sounds made up of several K2600 sounds or even
sequences. This can help you make efÞcient use of the K2600Õs polyphony. By building
composite sounds from other composite sounds, you could actually cause a frighteningly large
number of K2600 sounds to become a single sample. The only constraints are your
imaginationÑand the amount of sample RAM installed in your K2600.
You can also sample the K2600 directly into songs, using the RAM Tracks feature. See
page 12-17.

Sampling Digital Signals

The process for sampling through either of the digital inputs is essentially the same as that for
sampling analog signals, although there are a few additional parameters associated with digital
sampling formats.
YouÕll notice that the SampleMode 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. Note that the Src and Out parameters appear only if you have the both the
sampling option and the digital I/O option. WeÕll discuss the Out parameter in more detail on
page 19-3.

so all keys play one of the samples. The number of keys playing each sample depends on
the total number of sample roots youÕre previewing. Tuned layouts are useful for
previewing pitched samples.
Pressing No at the ÒTuned Keymap LayoutÓ prompt is useful for previewing large
numbers of samples, or percussion samples. When you press No, youÕll see the Bank
dialog. Press OK, and the K2600 takes the list of sample objects you selected in Step 2, and
in order of their IDs, starts assigning them to keys, beginning at C 2, one root per key. The
coarse tune gets adjusted so they all play at their root pitches.Keys below C 2 play the
sample assigned to C 2, transposed accordingly. Above the highest key used, youÕll hear
the sample with the highest key assignment, transposed accordingly up to the upper
transposition limit.
In either case, after the K2600 Þnishes processing the samples, it tells you the ID of the
preview program (or the lowest ID if it created more than one program), then returns to
the SampleMode page, with the preview program as the current program.
