Operation
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.
Recording procedure
1) Use the FX INSERT switch (12) to select whether to record
the sound of CH1, CH2, or MASTER.

bank 1–4 into which you will record.
4) Press the REC/STOP key (27) to start recording. Record-
ing will end when you press the REC/STOP key once again
(or when the maximum recording time has elapsed).
✩ During recording, the REC/STOP key (27) LED will light.
5) Press the touch panel (30), and the recorded phrase will

ing on the program. Refer to p.4 "Effect program list."

Recording and playback when a non-

gram from other than the SAMPLE/PLAY group.

sponding sample will play back as long as you continue
holding that key. However, the sample will play at normal
speed, and will loop (play repeatedly) at the volume at which
it was recorded.
