Sample a Sound

sampling - record audio from the mic or line input into the device

ko ii has 128MB of sample memory with 999 sample slots

how to sample:

  1. press [sample] - pads flash, ready to record
  2. set your levels:
    • x-knob: input gain (how loud the input is)
    • y-knob: threshold (when to start recording)
  3. hold a pad + make sound (speak, play, etc.)
  4. release the pad to stop recording
  5. press the pad to hear your sample

source selection: use [-/+] to choose input: mic, line-in L, line-in R, line stereo

threshold explained:

  • low threshold: starts recording with quiet sounds
  • high threshold: waits for louder signal (ignores noise)
  • all the way down: starts immediately when you press the pad

assign to a specific slot: go to [sound], select a pad, hold [sound] + type slot number (001-999) otherwise it auto-assigns to the first empty slot

delete a sample permanently: [erase] + [sound] while on that pad - this removes it from memory
