MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps
The MIDI Sample Dump Standard
6-5
Some computer-based sample editing software limits the sample numbers to a low range such
as 1-128. This conflicts with the K2661, which reserves IDs 1-199 for ROM samples, which
cannot be loaded or dumped. To get around this, the K2661 adds 200 to any numbers between
1 and 199. Therefore, if you want to load a sample into the K2661 at number 219, but your
program can’t transfer samples at numbers greater than 128, specify number 19 (There’s an
exception to this; please see Troubleshooting a MIDI Sample Dump on page 6-6).
At this point, you’re ready to try loading a sample. See Accessing a New K2661
Sample on page 6-6 to learn how to use samples once they’ve been dumped to the K2661.
Getting a Sample into a Sample Editor from the K2661
Connect the MIDI ports of the K2661 and the computer/sampler in a MIDI loop as described for
the Sampler/Computer to K2661 procedure above.
Access the computer software’s “Get Sample” page (it might be called something different). As
with loading a sample into the K2661, the K2661 adds 200 to dump request sample numbers
between 1 and 199. K2661 samples with IDs from 1 to 199 are ROM samples, and cannot be
dumped. Therefore, if you want to get sample number 219 from the K2661 but your program
can’t transfer samples at numbers greater than 128, specify number 19 (There’s an exception to
this; please see Troubleshooting a MIDI Sample Dump on page 6-6).
Loading a Sample into the K2661 from another K2661
Connect the MIDI ports of the two K2661s in a MIDI loop as described for the Sampler/
Computer to K2661 procedure above.
On the source K2661, go to the Sample Editor and select the sample you wish to transfer. To do
this, start in Program mode and press Edit, followed by the KEYMAP soft button. Now you
should be on the KEYMAP page. Now move the cursor to the Sample parameter, use any data
entry method to select the desired sample, then press Edit.
To start the sample transfer, press the Dump soft button. A dialog will appear, suggesting the ID
for the sample to be dumped to the destination K2661. The source K2661 will suggest the same
ID as it uses for the sample, but you can change the destination ID with any data entry method.
If you choose the default by pressing Yes, the sample will transfer to the same ID on the
destination K2661 as it is on the source K2661.
Dumping from the K2661 to a Sampler
This procedure is the same as dumping a sample from one K2661 to another. This will work only
if the sampler supports the MIDI Sample Dump Standard.
Dumping a Sample from the K2661 to a MIDI Data Recorder
This can be accomplished by connecting the MIDI Out port of the K2661 to the MIDI In port of
the MIDI Data Recorder. Go to the Sample Editor and select the K2661 sample you wish to
transfer. Set up the MIDI Data Recorder to begin recording, and press the Dump soft button on
the Sample Editor page. This will bring up a dialog allowing you to change the sample number
in the dump if you wish. In most cases, you will just use the default value. The K2661’s MIDI
mode LED will flash while the data transfer is in progress.
Loading a Sample into the K2661 from a MIDI Data Recorder
Connect the MIDI Out port of the Data Recorder to the MIDI In port of the K2661. Load the
appropriate file containing the MIDI Sample Dump data into the Data Recorder, and send the
file. The K2661’s MIDI mode LED will flash during this procedure.
