DIGITAL AUDIO SAMPLER

If you have fitted your WK2 with the optional Vocal Processor, you will have a digital
audio sampler at your disposal.
If the Vocal Processor is not installed, when you press the RECORD button next to the
SAMPLING inscription), the display will show the message "DISABLED".
At any instant, it is possible to gain access to the Samples memory bank, but sampling
operations are only permitted if the instrument is supplied with, or has been upgraded
with the optional Vocal Processor module.
Note: Disk-based Samples can be loaded to the Samples bank via Songs disks of
previous series instruments, such as WK3 (songs which incorporate Samples) or previ-
ous series CD Samples disks.
WK2 fitted with the Vocal Processor is able to sample two types of signal through the
MIC / LINE inputs:
• Microphone signals (MIC) from a microphone.
• Line signals (LINE) from a musical instrument, tape recorder, CD, etc.;
Regardless of the presence or absence of the Vocal Processor, you will be able to
configure the Programmable Pads and memorise the configuration to the Performances.
About the WK2 Sampler
WK2 (fitted with the Vocal Processor) incorporates a Sampler with the following techni-
cal characteristics:
• Sampling resolution :
• Sampling time :

REGULATING THE MIC/LINE SIGNAL

A singer (or musical instrument) can exploit WK2's internal amplification system by plug-
ging into the Mic/Line inputs of the Vocal Processor. The signal is fed to the instrument's
main mix and processed by means of specific controls then sent to the outputs (speak-
ers and stereo outputs).
1. Plug a Microphone or audio cable into the Mic jack (or an instrument to the Line jack.
2. Regulate the level of the signal with small twin GAIN control.
The twin knob independently controls the Mic and Line signals
At this point, you are ready to either sample the signal or activate the vocal Processor
(vocal harmonizer).

The display shows the flashing word "Sampling".
