Sampling: Menu Command - Korg M3 Parameter Manual

Sampling: Menu Command

ENTER + 0–9: shortcuts for menu commands
Each page has a set of menu commands, which provide
access to different utilities, commands, and options,
depending on the page you're currently on. You can use the
menu commands entirely from the touch-screen, by pressing
the menu button in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen and then selecting an option from the menu that
appears.
Even though each page may have its own unique menu
commands, the menus are standardized as much as
possible. For instance, WRITE is almost always the first
menu item in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes.
You can take advantage of this standardization by using a
shortcut to access any of the first ten menu items:
1. Hold down the ENTER switch.
2. Press a number (0–9) on the numeric keypad to select
the desired menu command, starting with 0.
For instance, press 0 for the first menu command, 1 for the
second, and so on.
If the menu command just toggles an option on and off
(such as Exclusive Solo), then you're done. If the command
calls up a dialog box, the dialog will appear on the display,
and you can proceed just as if you'd selected the command
from the touch-screen.
The ENTER switch corresponds to the OK button
Tip: While this command is open, the ENTER switch will
operate as the OK button and the EXIT switch will operate
as the Cancel button.
Remarks on editing stereo samples
• For stereo samples, the L channel and R channel samples
are edited simultaneously. If you wish to edit only the L
channel or R channel, select a mono multisample, and
select either the L channel or R channel sample for
editing.
• For stereo samples, the display will indicate "Save to
No.(L)" and "(R)." These respectively specify the
writing-destination sample numbers for the L and R
channels.
• If you Copy a mono sample into the buffer, and then
Insert, Mix, or Paste it to a stereo sample, the data will
be inserted, mixed, or pasted into both the L and R sides.
(The result is that a stereo sample will be created.)
If you Copy a stereo sample into the buffer, and then
Insert, Mix, or Paste it to a mono sample, the L- and R-
side data in the buffer will be mixed to mono, and then
inserted, mixed, or pasted. (The result is that a mono
sample will be created.)
You can also use these commands if you wish to mono-
mix a stereo sample and use it as a mono sample.
However, be aware that once a sample has been mixed
to mono, it is no longer possible to return it to a stereo
sample.
"Start" and "End" settings
When using the P1: Sample Edit parameters Truncate –
Volume Ramp and the P2: Loop Edit parameter Truncate to
edit the waveform data of a sample, you must first use Start
and End to specify the region that you want to edit, and
then select and execute a menu command.
There is no compare function that lets you return the
edited result to the state before editing. If you wish to
preserve the unedited sample, uncheck the Overwrite
item in the dialog box of each menu command before
you execute.
Sampling: Menu Command Panel–SW Solo Mode On
Note: To edit the Start (start address) location at which the
sample data (waveform data) will begin playing, the Loop S
(loop start address), or End (end address), use P2: Loop Edit.
If the above parameters are located within an area of sample
addresses that are deleted or moved by your editing, they
will automatically be moved.
The Loop S and End (2–1d) must be at least eight
samples apart. If you try to use the Truncate, Cut, or
Rate Convert commands, but the results of the
commands would cause the Loop S and End to be
separated by less than eight samples, you'll see the
error message "Sample length is shorter than
minimum." Please set the Start and End appropriately.
About "Overwrite"
When "Overwrite" is unchecked: When the command is
executed, the edited sample will be saved in a different
sample number. The unedited sample will remain without
change.
When "Overwrite" is checked: When the command is
executed, the edited sample will be overwritten onto the
original sample (number). The original sample will be
modified.
Note: Normally, you will leave "Save to No." at its default
setting, and execute without checking Overwrite. When you
execute, both the data before and after editing will be
preserved, and the sample number of the edited data will be
assigned as the sample of that index.
Panel–SW Solo Mode On
When you select Panel–SW Solo Mode On and add a check
mark to the menu item, the MIX PLAY/MUTE (SOLO)
switches will operate as Solo on/off.
For more information, please see "Panel–SW Solo Mode On"
on page 106.
Exclusive Solo
This command is available on every page in Combination
mode. When Exclusive Solo is On, only one Timbre is
soloed at a time; when it is Off, multiple Timbres can be
soloed together.
For more information, please see "Exclusive Solo" on
page 107.
Delete Sample
This command deletes all samples, the currently selected
sample, or unused samples (samples not mapped to a
multisample).
1. Select "Delete Sample" to open the dialog box.
2. Use the radio buttons to specify which samples will be
deleted.
