Sampling with the K2000
Editing Samples
1 Normalize
With the Normalize function, you can rescale the amplitude of the selected sample segment to
optimize its level relative to other samples. The Normalize function uniformly boosts the
amplitude of the current sample range as high as possible without clipping, stopping just before
the loudest element of the sample would be clipped. You might want to use the Volume Adjust
function to boost the current segment manually, but the Normalize function does it
automatically, and prevents you from boosting the amplitude too much.
2 Truncate
The Truncate function automatically resets the Start (S) and End (E) points of the sample. This
can be quicker than trimming the sample manually on the TRIM page.
Use the Start and End parameters to select a specific sample range. Set the Thresh parameter
from -96 to 0dB to set the noise floor. When you press the Go soft button, the K2000 searches
inward from the start and end points you set, until it finds the first sample that exceeds the noise
floor. Everything outside the range is left out. You’ll want to experiment with different
thresholds to find the noise floor that suits each sample you truncate. If the new End point is
inside the current loop point, the loop is disabled.
When you press the Go soft button, you’ll be prompted
Keep|this|change? Unlike the other
DSP functions, answering Yes does not bring up the Save dialog. It registers the new Start and
End positions as the Start (S) and End (E) points (as set on the TRIM or LOOP page). In fact, you
can go to either of these pages to readjust the S and E points if you want to include more of the
sample. To save the new S and E points, press the Done soft button (if necessary) to return to the
Sample mode page, then press either the Save soft button, or Exit.
