Sampling with the K2000
Editing Samples
2-17
Copy
Use this button to store the selected sample segment in a buffer without altering the current
sample. The copied segment remains in memory until you replace it with another cut or copy
command, or until the K2000 is shut off.
Paste
This button has an effect only after you’ve cut or copied a sample segment using the Cut or
Copy soft buttons. The Paste soft button inserts the contents of the Cut/Copy buffer after the
start position of the currently selected sample segment. This is like splicing a section of audio
tape into another section; it extends the length of the sample. You can undo a paste by pressing
the Cut soft button immediately after pasting.
When you cut or copy a sample, it’s stored in a buffer. Whatever is stored in the buffer remains
available for repeated paste commands until replaced by another cut or copy command, or until
the K2000 is shut off or reset (soft or hard). The buffer is also cleared if you execute a master
delete, and select Delete everything.
Samp2
The Samp2 button, as described earlier in the DSP page section, enables you to select a segment
of a second RAM sample to be processed with the currently selected sample.
Go
Press the Go soft button when you want to execute the currently selected DSP function on the
currently selected sample. When processing is completed, the K2000 prompts you to keep the
changes. You can audition your changes and decide whether to keep them, then press Yes or No.
Done
Press the Done soft button to return to the previously selected Sample Editor page when you’re
finished with the DSP functions.
DSP Functions
Once you’ve entered the Sample Editor, press the DSP soft button to gain access to the DSP
functions. The DSP function parameter becomes highlighted, allowing you to scroll through the
list of functions with the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons.
Remember that the DSP functions operate only on RAM samples. You’ll notice that if you’re
editing a ROM sample, there is no DSP soft button; instead, there’s an extra Link soft button for
your convenience.
