Press the page menu icon to open the menu. Press a command to
select it. Press anywhere in the display to close the menu without
selecting a command.
Write
Select this command to open the Write Sample, Write Multisam-
ple or Write Slice dialog box (depending on the page you are in),
and save the sample(s) to the hard disk (PCM folder), and the
multisample(s) or the Sound generated by the Time Slice func-
tion to the internal memory (SSD).
See "Write Sample dialog box" on page 226, "Write MultiSample
dialog box" on page 226, or "Write Slice dialog box" on page 227
for more information.
Delete
Select this command to delete one or all samples and multisam-
ples from memory.
See "Delete Sample dialog box" on page 227, or "Delete Multi-
sample dialog box" on page 227 for more information.
Normalize
Select this command to automatically rescale the level of the
selected sample. Peaks will be raised to -0dB (i.e., maximum vol-
ume before clipping), while the remaining parts of the sample
will be proportionally raised.
Normalization optimizes the sample's level relative to other sam-
ples, making all samples sound more uniformly. It also helps
optimizing signal/noise ratio, by preventing further stages of
amplification from increasing any residual noise.
Cut
Select this command to cut the selected part of the sample
(inside the "Start" and "End" points).
Trim/Crop
Select this command to cut all parts of the sample out of the
selected range (i.e., out of the "Start" and "End" points).
Select All
Use this command to select the whole sample.
Init Multisample
Only available in the Multisample page. Select this command to
create a new, blank multisample. Only one Zone will be avail-
able, with no sample assigned.
Sampling operating mode
Load Sample
Use this command to load single samples (mono or stereo), in
KSF, AIFF or WAVE format.
Warning: By loading new samples, all samples in RAM are deleted.
Before loading, use the Write command to save older samples to
disk.
The samples are loaded to the RAM memory. Before leaving the
Sampling mode, use the Write command to save samples to the
hard disk (PCM folder) as New Samples.
• "KSF" is Korg's native sample format, used by the Trinity
and Triton series of workstations, as well as the Pa-series
arrangers. The file name must have the ".KSF" extension.
• "S1" is Akai S1000, and "S3" is S3000 native sample format.
• "AIFF" is the Apple® Macintosh© preferred format for
audio. The file name must have the ".AIF" extension.
• "WAVE" is the Microsoft© Windows© preferred format for
audio. The file name must have the ".WAV" extension.
Note: Akai data can only be imported from CD.
Note: You can only load samples in a 8 or 16-bit resolution, and a
sampling frequency rate from 11,025 to 48,000Hz. Loaded samples
always preserve their original resolution.
Note: If the sample exceeds the maximum size allowed by the Pa1X
(524,288 samples, either mono or stereo), it will be truncated.
Import
Use the Import command to import sounds, multisamples and
samples from non-native (i.e., non-Korg) formats.
With this command, you can import the following formats:
• "PCG" is Korg's native Program format, used by the Trinity
and Triton series of workstations. The file name must have
the ".PCG" extension
• "KMP" is Korg's native multisample format, used by the
Trinity and Triton series of workstations. The file name
must have the ".KMP" extension.
