SAMPLING: Getting Started Quickly (K2000R)

A. Physical Connections, Three types of input
1. optical
2. line
3. mic (use mic)

B. Using the K2000R interface
1. press "Master" button
2. press software button for "sample"
3. Select ID# for sample to overwrite (replace), don't worry about it for now
4. Elect type of input
a. analog (use this one)
b. digital
5. Elect gain to match real world sound with equipment (0db with AKG 414, higher
With the Shure SM58)
6. Elect sampling rate of 44.1kHz
a. When to use a higher sampling rate: to capture more frequency content
But it uses more memory, also cannot be pitch-shifted as far due to limitations of
Maximum sampling rate of the machine
b. Lower sampling rate can be transposed higher and uses less memory, but should
not be used for instruments with high freq. Content
7. Elect Mono (L) and always use (L) for mono signal, remember that Stereo L & R
Takes up twice as much memory
8. Elect Threshold (this indicates when the actual sampling process begins. When
The input signal passes the threshold, the sampling process begins
1) suggested: -28dB
2) Off key: sampling begins when you press record
3) Key: sampling begins when you press keyboard key and will also begin the
Mapping process with the struck note as the "tonic" key
9. Recording - getting the sound into the K2000
a. press software record button and record sample
b. strike root key
c. save sample by pressing software button "yes"
d. Elect ID#



C. Editing Entering Sample Editor

1. press Master Mode
2. press software button for "Sample"
3. select a sample and press edit
4. press EDIT to enter KeyMap Editor
5. Key range parameter is selected when the page appears and notes within currently
selected key range are the only ones affected by edits
6. hold Enter button and trigger notes to select different key ranges

7. to select different sample, use cursor buttons

D. Three basic pages when you enter Sample Edit (+DSP page)
Software buttons for TRIM, LOOP, and MISC (+DSP) are visible

1. MISC allows user to set several parameters that affect the behavior of the current
sample
Root Key Num, Pitch Adjust, Volume Adjust, Alternate Start Values, Decay Rate,
Release Rate, Loop Switch, Playback mode, Alternate Sample, Ignore Release

2. TRIM lets you set the START, ALT, LOOP, AND END points of the current
sample; the four vertical lines graphically indicate each parameters value in
relation to sampled waveform. Move the lines by changing the values for the
parameters, turning Alpha Wheel moves waveform to a line

3. LOOP
Left Section same segment of sample as in TRIM page
Right Section entire Loop segment of the sample (in the center of the loop
Segment is a dotted vertical bar that represents the loop transition point
