Sampling all My Synths into One

no.. it indicates a heavy impact on the synth's case.

And I'd expect any damage from an impact will show up pretty immediately. So if the case is cracked but the synth is still working, long term survival rate is probably about the same as if the case was undamaged.

I asked the seller, hopefully he responds before the auctions up. It seems like if it wasn't working he wouldn't bother to replace the keys on it.

I do have a show coming up and I need time to set it all up and iron out the problems.

have you done much sampling and synth programming before before?? the basic loop point thing is pretty straightforward, and envelope setting will be fast if yu've done a lot of synth programming already. for someting with 16MB of RAM, you'll really benefit from having small tight patches.

Not alot other than DX7 programming, but I pretty much get most of the concepts.

Isn't it 16mb ram per sound, and then the hard drive for the sounds your not using?

Heres a demo of some of the sounds I'm gonna be sampling. The Tempers Music - official website of The Tempers

The Synths on the first song are my yamaha PSR-12 and PSR-16. The string lead on the second song is my Casiotone CT-370, the bass and voices sound is the DX7. The drums are Simmons SDSV's

I'm sure you're going to find that the K2000 has so many good sounds the requirement to sample your previous ones will all but dissolve.

I still love the K-series synths. I got a pittance when I auctioned my fully spammed-up K2000 this year, but I replaced it with an equally spam-laden K2600. Damn, these synths are good.

I'll probably start writing songs that include new k2000 sounds, but the sounds that i want to sample are pretty integral to the songs themselves. I think I could only replace my DX7 with a DX1

But I'm satisfying (temporarily) my need for new synth sounds, as well as sampling my older and probably less reliable ones.

agreed.
cracked case indicates a drop or a heavy impact. in any case whichever it was doesn't really matter does it.
like i said if it works, it works. but you'd need to demo fully. or take a chance

maybe it was the keys that broke.

TX7 is an option, too . TX802 if you want multitimbrality with that. On the other hand, the DX's keyboard is nice.

Oh yeah, the K2000 will even do FM.

well kind of....... but........

the actual working memory of the sampler is 16 MB. that's the total amount of memory it has to hold samples that you can access quickly at any given time.

loading samples takes a bit of time. so if you can fit a whole set worth of patches into RAM, then you just have to select the patches for the next song as you go from song to song, and off you go... if you had 16MB of samples for each song, you might need a 3 minute break between songs. Hows your between songs banter? Lucky for you, the keyboard parts in that track on your website should be pretty light to sample in.

OK i see, If necessary i can up the RAM to 64. Had no idea it took so long to load the samples. Yes my sounds are simple and short

yeah, but if something else was wrong I don't see why they would bother putting money into it to fix the keys, but who knows.

Its definetly a little bit sketchy.. I guess ill see what he says...
