When Dumping Samples From the K2661
Certain computer-based sample editing programs subtract one from the sample number when
performing MIDI Sample transfers to remote devices. For instance, if you tell these programs to
get sample number 204, the programs will request that the K2661 dump sample ID 203, which
would ordinarily dump a different sample from the one you intended, possibly causing the
dump to fail. The K2661 automatically counteracts this offset by adding a number to sample
requests. This was done because more sample editing programs create this offset than do not. If
you find that the K2661 is sending samples with higher IDs than the ones you requested, you
can compensate by requesting the sample ID one lower than the one you want. For example, if
you want the K2661 to dump sample 205, ask for sample 204.
Some samples in the K2661 are copy-protected. These include all ROM samples and possibly
some third-party samples. The K2661 will not dump these samples.
Aborting a MIDI Sample Dump
The Abort soft button in the Sample Editor can be used to cancel any sample load into the K2661
from an external source (for example, a computer or a sampler). This button will also halt a
sample dump from the K2661. The K2661 will ask for confirmation before it aborts the sample
dump.
