Sampling with the K2000
Editing Samples
With this function you select a segment from Sample 2, and merge it with the selected segment
from Sample 1, beginning at the point you set with the Start parameter. This is equivalent to
mixing two audio signals through a mixing board. If the Sample 2 segment is longer than the
segment from the Start (S) to the End(E) of Sample 1, the resulting sample will be longer than the
original Sample 1.
Use the In and Out parameters to specify the length of time it takes Sample 2 to reach full
amplitude and to fade to silence. The Curve parameter selects the curve of the fades. The
available values are LIN, EXP, COS, EQL, and MIX. See Crossfade and Volume Adjust Curves on
page 2-29 for more information about these curves.
The Volume Adjust parameter will cut or boost the amplitude of Sample 2 from -96 to 96 dB
before merging.
If the sample rate of Sample 2 is different from that of Sample 1, the K2000 alerts you that the
sample rates differ. If you mix samples with different rates, you’ll hear a pitch shift in the mixed
sample. If you don’t want this pitch shift, use the Resample function to match the sample rates
of the two samples before mixing.
Mixing Samples, Step-by-step
First, use the Start parameter of Sample 1 to set the point at which the mix will begin. Then press
the Samp2 soft button, and a page appears enabling you to view and audition the list of RAM
samples. Select a sample with the Sample parameter, then use the cursor keys to select the Start
parameter. Turn the Alpha Wheel to set the beginning of the segment to be mixed in. Repeat this
process for the end position of the sample. You can audition the sample as you’re setting the
range. Once the start and end points are set, press OK to return to the DSP page. Then press Go
to initiate the mix.
10 Insert
Use this function to insert the selected segment from Sample 2 into Sample 1. This is like splicing
a section of tape into an existing tape. This differs from the Mix function, which merges the two
samples into one.
Use the Crossfade parameter to control the crossfades at the start and end of the inserted
sample. The Curve parameter selects the curve of the crossfade. The available values are LIN,
EXP, COS, EQL, and MIX. See Crossfade and Volume Adjust Curves on page 2-29 for more
information about these curves.
The Volume Adjust parameter cuts or boosts the amplitude of Sample 2 from -96 to 96 dB before
merging.
If the sample rate of Sample 2 is different from that of Sample 1, the K2000 alerts you that the
sample rates differ. If you insert a sample with a different rate, you’ll hear a pitch shift in the
