>>what a shitty sampler.<<

that's not nice. don't come on the list & start off with an email like
that if you want any sort of help, ok? :-)

the 2000 & 2002 are from the early 80s, & are not like a big akai or
emu where you can grab great chunks of stereo off of a CD or vinyl &
loop up the beats or whatever.

think of it instead as more like a prophet synthesizer, only with
sampled waveforms instead of oscillators. treat it as an instrument,
not a dumb audio playback device. use the analogue filters & VCA to
mould the waveforms into musical notes.

or sell it & buy an old akai instead.

the manuals & a quick user-guide are in the files section here. this
will also help to explain the way the audio outputs work in relation
to the machine's voices- it /can/ do stereo, but it wasn't designed to
& the stereo phase is hit&miss at best. I use mine more like a synth,
& have big old emus (which are very cheap now) for big stereo loops &
so forth.
