Thanks alot for teaching us how to use it! I am not musician or producer, only I want to buy this thing to start to make my own samples and some beats, and this is excellent to understand, because sometimes when I see other videos, only touch alot of things without explaining and make me feel that it is hard to use. You are the boss.
Son Wu, you've come up good again. thanks for the video. Just a couple of things.... 1) at 8:00, when you're recorded your sample, I don't know whether you noticed but the KO II truncates the early part of the sound automatically where there is no sound. 2) I sample a sound then copy and paste this to various pads, this gives me some flexibility when editing the pads, just a workflow choice.
Thanks! 1. I don't know, if I am understanding right…but when sampling, it always waits for the volume to exceed the threshold, so there is no silence in the beginning. 2. Yes, there are always various ways to go about this, depending on your needs :)
Great tutorial, just received the device and currently working my way through these videos. Please correct me if I'm wrong, maybe I am from another timeline but I could have sworn there was a feature to connect the ko-ii to the PC and load pre made samples directly to the ko-ii's memory rather than manually recording them using line in. I hope this makes sense.
Hi! Is there a way to start the recording of a sample without holding the pad? With a stereo input, can i switch to internal mic and external source before the recording? Thanks
Hey I was just looking for some help, whenever I try to record over a sample it stops recording after 1.32 seconds and says ( FUL ) I was wondering what to do ?
press sound, then shift + C to copy the current pad…then go to another pad (make sure you are still in the sound menu, then press shift + D to paste. Or just go to a new pad, press sound and use -/+ or the numbers to navigate to the sample you want to use.
great tutorials!! we love the work you do! my question is, when ever i sample a sound it seems like it saves over a factory sample. is there a way to go around that? i dont want to loose those factory sounds. thank you!!!!
all 999 sound banks are filled by factory samples by default. the only way to fit in another sample is to overwrite one of them. there are no extra/separate banks for custom samples. hope that answers your question
Help me, please. I don't have any cable connected to the sampler, but I can't use the microphone because I get the "L R & C" mode displayed How can I switch the mode to "MIC"?
Great video! Thank you. Main thing rhat i learned was that my black knob does jump everywhere and is teiggered by the orange one too >< im really sad lol
thank you ! when i launch a long recorded sample when the beat is playing, sometimes it stops playing in the middle of it, whereas I keep the launch button pressed. How can I fix it ?
Hello Son Wu, I chopped up my sample and saved the chops. But how can I get the chops to be saved onto differend 'sound tracks'? Because even though I've chopped the thing, the whole sample seems to be loaded onto only one 'sounds number'. Thanks for replying. And sorry if this question has been asked already.
Hey…the sample will still be saved only once in your sounds. Chopping only distributes it to multiple pads and changes the start point. It is still referencing the same sound file.
Do you have to do this in an empty project so it doesn't mess with what you were making or does going into sample mode make it sit outside of the projects?
i have my iphone inputting to the ko2 via aux. when i follow your guidance and press sample, i do not see Mic; instead i ssee C L and R. So, im assuming that is because of the line input. am i wrong?? thanks
question...how is it that you can still preview the recorded sound while in the sample section with all the pads blinking..anytime I do this I have get out of that mode into the sound section to preview the sound on whatever pad I put it on...
Anytime I chop a sample and use it in multiple scenes, it will wipe out the chops, if I change it on another scene. Is that supposed to happen? I would have hoped it retained the chopped sample in one scene, if I change it in a committed / duplicated scene
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 Hi. I didn't, but I haven't put a lot of time into it in a while. There just was no clear explanation or anything I could find addressing it. That usually means it is a shortcoming in my experience. I would love to know if anyone finds something further on it, if there is.
quick question, I made a crazy beat on the ko2 yesterday and it was by experimenting.. I sampled into the ko2 and I assigned (time button 9) to the sample and it gave this unique effected when I pulled down the fader and added effects to it.. can you explain what's going on on button 9 which says time over it,.. what( time) is it effecting? thanks my brooo!!!!
@@SONWU OOOO WOWWW , I didn't know that, it was awesome.. I have to get another ko2 and sync them up together and have 8 banks of sampling and double effects... id the ko2 had more storage and sampling time with make everything way better....
An amazing video!! What do i need to connect or use the KO II? i want to buy one but idk if i can or i need to connect it with my pc for record my sessions
Yes, to record into the computer you need an interface. There are other samplers that have audio interfaces built in already though, if that interests you more.
is there a way for the device to wait with the live chopping playback until i press the first pad? i think its quite hard to nail the first slice on the first pad, since it automatically starts playback when i hit shift + sample
Agreed, it would be better if the device waited for the first pad to be pressed, then the sample starts, also wish I did not have to hold down each pad.
Any idea why my sample won’t play back in sample mode. Like after I’ve recorded it? When I go back to main I can hear the unchopped sample but not before exiting the sample mode.

Sadly, no…hope they add it in an update.
@@SONWU Thank you for the response 😁

Update the device or clear everything once…I used to have that issue
@@SONWU thank you very much 🙏🏽
thanks for the great tutorials!
can you use the built in mic to sample to a pad while listening to a playing pattern and monitoring with headphones?
Great video! How do I shift a sample I accidentally recorded from one pad to another?
press sound, then shift + C to copy the current pad…then go to another pad (make sure you are still in the sound menu, then press shift + D to paste.
Or just go to a new pad, press sound and use -/+ or the numbers to navigate to the sample you want to use.
Thank you so much! It’s an external sample I recorded and did not want to accidentally erase. @@SONWU
For some reason when I hit sample it takes me to the "L R" screen. I cant seem to get it back into Mic mode. Any suggestions?
Same problem here, anybody found a solution??
Is there a way of going back in after you have exited sample mode to edit start/end points etc? I keep having to re-do it
only in the sample edit menu shift + sound…then go to trim
great tutorials!! we love the work you do!

Can KO II record a sample without holding a button?
hey I have the ko2 but iAM having some problems .. how to you set my recording to overwrite when I record rather than overdub?
Hi! No, you'll just have to delete the elements you don't like and record again.
@@SONWU wow, I guess they will make an new software update with overwrite.
@@MIKEMOKRONOS indeed unlikely ;)
Hello dear Son wu👍🤗 can ep 133 ko loop samples for example a drumloop? ❤️
Noooo
Sadly not
thank you ! when i launch a long recorded sample when the beat is playing, sometimes it stops playing in the middle of it, whereas I keep the launch button pressed. How can I fix it ?

@@SONWU Thanks a lot!
The fact i have to hold a button down to sample is a bummer
Do you have to do this in an empty project so it doesn't mess with what you were making or does going into sample mode make it sit outside of the projects?
Hi Son Wu. Does sampling ever overwrite an existing sample or is the new sample automatically assigned to an empty sample slot?
I haven't noticed anything being overwritten…it always looks for empty slots.
i have my iphone inputting to the ko2 via aux. when i follow your guidance and press sample, i do not see Mic; instead i ssee C L and R. So, im assuming that is because of the line input. am i wrong?? thanks
correct!
question...how is it that you can still preview the recorded sound while in the sample section with all the pads blinking..anytime I do this I have get out of that mode into the sound section to preview the sound on whatever pad I put it on...
have you already sliced it to multiple pads? Try playing the bottom left pad.
Very clear ❤it
Thank you!
Anytime I chop a sample and use it in multiple scenes, it will wipe out the chops, if I change it on another scene. Is that supposed to happen? I would have hoped it retained the chopped sample in one scene, if I change it in a committed / duplicated scene
Did you every figure it out

@@Blobabeethe sample editing on this sucks balls...ended up switching to a Sonicware Lofi XT and no complaints
Is it possible to automatically trigger the sample when record is ending?
No

It time-stretches the sample

Great vid.. question .. can you make a loop point at the end of a sample on this device in edit mode..
Unfortunately not…but you could try using timestretch!
An amazing video!! What do i need to connect or use the KO II? i want to buy one but idk if i can or i need to connect it with my pc for record my sessions
Yes, to record into the computer you need an interface. There are other samplers that have audio interfaces built in already though, if that interests you more.
@ZTEARS333 Anything you plug into the INPUT can be sampled, yes!
Nice tutorial! How do I slow down a sample, or change the pitch?
press sound and turn the black knob to change pitch,
shift + sound to get into deeper sound editing…navigate right to get to timestretch.
is there a way for the device to wait with the live chopping playback until i press the first pad? i think its quite hard to nail the first slice on the first pad, since it automatically starts playback when i hit shift + sample
Agreed, it would be better if the device waited for the first pad to be pressed, then the sample starts, also wish I did not have to hold down each pad.
Great tutorials! Can you decide which number your recorded sample is going to get? When I record a sample it gets a random number/placement.
I’m wondering the same thing. The first two recordings I did overwrote numbers 33 and 34. I don’t want to overwrite the built in samples (yet)
Actually scratch my last comment. It didn’t overwrite anything. I just assumed it did until I realized that those slots were blank lol 🤦♂️.
That should be possible. You can select an empty sound before sampling to that pad.
@@SkyshifterBassI actually thought the same thing when I recorded my first sample lol
How do you let the sample just play as a loop on repeat?
Hi. Did you find out how to do it? I have the same issue.
@@rottensaliva It only would Repeat If I was Layering on The Sample. I ended up returning it and Got an Sp404 instead.
excellent
Can you have two samples in the same group?
Sure!
12 Samples per group. 4 groups per project.
Any idea why my sample won’t play back in sample mode. Like after I’ve recorded it? When I go back to main I can hear the unchopped sample but not before exiting the sample mode.
sorry, that may just be one of those quirks…
@@SONWU It was..didn’t start until I downloaded 1.1.2 but the recent update fixed it. 🙏🏾
How can I switch from line input to mic recording? If anything plugged in INPUT I see anyway L-R
I don't think it's possible if anything is plugged in.
What does Ful ( mean )
No more sampling space
whats that watch you have?
Timex Command Urban :)
Let’s goooooo!
👊
You sound Austrian. One of my best friends is from there ...sound desigers
Close, I'm German :)
More..sloŵ down or speed up the sample
What do you mean?

I wonder what swedish meatball came up the fantasic idea of holding down buttons for sampling... incredibly stoopid.
