About the SAMPLE/PLAY effects

The sampling function of the KM-2 lets you store four different six-second samples.

Recording and playback when a SAMPLE/PLAY effect program is selected

You can record or play back samples when a SAMPLE/PLAY effect program is selected. Playback speed and reverse-play- back etc. can be controlled from the touch panel.

✩Playback control will differ depending on the effect program. Refer to p.4 "Effect program list."

Playback procedure

1)Use the FX INSERT switch (12) to select the channel into which the playback sound will be mixed.

2)Select a program of the SAMPLE/PLAY group.

3)Use the SAMPLE BANK keys 1–4 (26) to select the sample that you wish to play back. (At this time the sample will not play yet.)

4)When you press the touch panel (30), playback will occur according to the location you touched.

5)You can use the FX DEPTH knob (9) to adjust the volume of the playback. When the knob is in the center position, the sample playback sound will be added to the channel input sound in a 1:1 ratio. When the knob is at the maxi- mum position, only the sample will be heard during play- back, and the channel input sound will not be heard.
