About programs marked by ★
Regardless of the FX INSERT location, the sample will be recorded from MASTER, and when monitoring CH1, CH2 or CH1&2 from the PHONES jack, the sound will be monitored without delay reverb
applied.
About AUTO REC START
When SAMPLE/PLAY number 0 is selected, recording will use AUTO REC START. After the REC key is pressed, recording will begin automatically when a signal is input.
For the X-FADE effect group and for DELAY-3, the effect will not be applied to the sample playback sound when the FX INSERT switch is set to MASTER.

Operation
Operation
Basic operation
1) As described in "Connections and controls of the KM-2"
(p.2), connect your turntable(s) or CD player(s) to CH1 and
CH2. Set the input select switches (1, 2) to the appropriate
position for the devices that are connected to channels 1
and 2.
For turntable input
For MIC input
For CD etc.
6) Use the touch panel (30) to control the effect.
The effect section of the KM-2 lets you control the sound by
moving across the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical)
of the touch panel. For details on which effect is in what
number, and the parameters that are controlled by the Xaxis and Y-axis, refer to p.4 "Effect program list."
Here's how to apply an effect to the CH1 signal.
2) If you are using headphones for listening, connect your
headphones to the front panel PHONES jack (F5).
In this explanation we will assume that you are monitoring
through headphones.
3) Turn on the POWER switch (R9). It will take up to 10 seconds for the KM-2 system to begin operating and be ready
to use. The system has finished starting up when the BPM
display stops rotating.

5) Here's how to monitor the sound of CH1 in the headphones.
Set the CH1 fader (7) to approximately 50~70%. If the PEAK
LED lights, the input is too loud. Rotate the TRIM knob (3)
toward the left until the LED no longer lights. At this time,
set X-FADE (29) to the CH1 (left) position.
About the BPM function
What is BPM?
BPM stands for Beats Per Minute, and indicates the tempo of
the song in terms of the number of beats (quarter notes) that
occur in one minute.
If BPM=120, there will be 120 beats in one minute of the song,
meaning that each beat is 0.5 seconds long. Higher BPM values mean that the tempo is faster.
✩ It may not be possible to correctly detect the BPM of songs
with complex drum phrases. In such cases, use TAP to input the BPM.
✩ The AUTO BPM detection range is 80–160.
Using TAP to input the BPM
Detecting the BPM
Press the TAP key (19) twice or more in time with the beat of
the song. When you do so, that tempo will be displayed in the
BPM indicator (17).
✩ BPM input via TAP can be performed even if the FX INSERT switch (12) is set to MASTER.
There are two ways to set the BPM: auto BPM detection, or
BPM tap input.
Fine adjustment of BPM
Auto BPM
After the BPM has been detected or set, you can use the ADJUST
% fi switches (18) to make fine adjustments to the BPM setting.
1) Use the FX INSERT switch (12) to select the channel (CH1
or CH2) into which you are inputting the song whose BPM
you wish to detect.
2) Simultaneously press the ADJUST % and fi keys (18). This
will cause the BPM to be detected automatically and displayed in the BPM indicator (17).
3) Press % or fi to end detection and finalize the BPM.
✩ If you operate the FX INSERT switch (12) or press % and fi
simultaneously while auto BPM detection is occuring, auto
BPM detection will be cancelled.
✩ Auto BPM detection will not function if the FX INSERT (12)
is set to MASTER.
✩ When you switch the setting of the FX INSERT switch (12),
the previous BPM detection value for that channel will be
displayed.
✩ When performing BPM detection for the first time, the default value will be BPM=120.
BPM effects
If an effect program of the BPM FX group is selected, you can apply
an effect that is synchronized to the BPM.
For example with the BPM FX-1 program BPM DELAY2, touching the
touch panel (30) in the 3–5 area of the horizontal axis will cause the
delay length to be half of the BPM. For details on other BPM effects,
refer to p.4 “Effect program list.”
✩ If you use the TAP key (19) to input the BPM, the BPM
value will be applied to the effect immediately.
✩ If you use auto BPM, the BPM value will be applied to the 5
effect when you press ADJUST (18) % or fi.
Operation
About the SAMPLE/PLAY effects
The sampling function of the KM-2 lets you store four different six-second samples.
Recording and playback when a
SAMPLE/PLAY effect program is selected
Recording and playback when a nonSAMPLE/PLAY effect program is selected

1) Turn the power off.
2) While holding down the WRITE key (28) and the REC/STOP key (27), turn the power on.
When you do so, the BPM display will show “CAL,” indicating that you are in Calibration mode.
3) Now if you move the crossfader (29), the LEDs of SAMPLE BANK keys 1–4 (26) will light accordingly.
The point at which the light changes from 1 → 2 is the point at which the crossfader currently starts changing from CH 1 to CH 2.
The point at which the light changes from 4 → 3 is the point at which the crossfader currently starts changing from CH 2 to CH 1.
4) First, move the crossfader to the location at which you want begin changing from CH 1 → CH 2.
5) When you press the REC/STOP key (27), the switching point will be updated.
6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 to set the CH 2 → CH 1 point.
7) When you press the WRITE key (28), the data for the specified points will be stored in internal memory, and you will return to
normal operating mode.
✩ The switching points cannot be set to a location where BANK LED 2 and 3 are lit simultaneously.
✩ The minimum switching point is approximately 3.0 mm from the left or the right. It is not possible to set the switching point
closer to the left or right edge.
(If you perform step 5 with the crossfader moved all the way to left or right, the switching point will automatically be set to the
minimum location.)
✩ The calibration data is preserved even when the power is turned off.
