There are two more modes that donÕt have dedicated buttons on the front panel: Sample mode 
and Live mode. In Sample mode, you can create and edit samples (if you have the sampling 
option). To get to Sample mode, press the

the

The colored labeling for each mode button indicates special functions that relate to some of the 
K2600Õs editors. These functions are described on page 5-7.
