Sampling Question

alexisonmusic · Post by **alexisonmusic** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 9:53 am

Maybe it's a stupid question, but how I put for example dr.02 beat in bank A to start using other effects over it. I realized only one way and it's the worst way I guess, it's when I catch the signal from the speaker and sample it in bank A, but it sounds really bad. I wonder is there any civilized way to just remember it in the bank.

You can re-sample the kp3's output.

Hold the shift button and hit the sampling button. The number of beats that will be recorded are shown in the display (4,8,16). Select a bank and recording will start for that number of beats.

Well, I did that, but it doesn't really works. When I turn the programm knob to choose another effect, the drum loop dissapears:/
It simply doesn't records the loops, I can only record my voice and guitar etc. maybe I'm stupid or it's too complicated to do this simple thing.
You understand what I want to do? Just a simple operation: 1. choose the drum loop press the hold button 2. record it 3. swith to the other effects and lay them on the looped drum track.
I somehow achieved this yesterday, so I know it's possible but my actions were to chaotic to remember:/

It is possible, exactly as I posted above.

You HAVE to hold down the shift button as you hit the sampling button.

So I choose the effect and while it plays I press the shift button+resample
choose 16 bits press A and it would record the loop? And then I'd be able to switch to the other effects without losing the beat?
sorry for being so curious, i'm not at home and I can't try it out right now.

I dunno whether your joking or not, but I didn't see it in the manual, and i was reading it accurately and I found nothing answering my question.
Anyways, thanks!

Hehe, no I wasnt being smart, honest comment, manufacturers think we can just guess how it all works.

Its sort of in the easy start guide, bottom of page 4, but it only tells you about re-sampling a one shot, but priniciple is the same.
