Korg M3 Parameter Manual page 345

If you select REC Audio Input:
1) Use Source Audio to select the external audio input
source.
Analog: Selects the analog audio source connected to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 and AUDIO INPUT 2 jacks.
S/P DIF: Selects the digital audio source connected to the S/
P DIF IN jack.
FireWire: If the EXB-FW option is installed, the digital audio
output of the computer connected to the FireWire connector
can be input to the M3.
2) Use "Mono-L/Mono-R/Stereo" to select the input source,
and either mono or stereo as the number of channels that
will be sampled.
Mono-L: Settings will be made for sampling to L-MONO
from Input 1 (if you've selected Analog).
Mono-R: Settings will be made for sampling to R-MONO
from Input 2 (if you've selected Analog).
Stereo: Settings will be made for sampling in stereo from
Input 1/2.
Note: If the EXB-FW is installed, FireWire L, R, and L/R will
correspond to the above.
3) Use Save to to specify the destination to which the
sampled data will be written. RAM writes the data into
RAM memory. MEDIA creates a WAVE file from the
sampled data and saves it to USB storage device (e.g., hard
disk).
4) If you want to apply an insert effect to the external audio
input source while it is being sampled, use "IFX" to specify
the insert effect that you want to use. If you don't want to
use an insert effect, set this Off.
5) Press the OK button to execute the REC Audio Input
command, or press the Cancel button if you decide not to
execute.
For more information, please see "Auto Sampling Setup:
Automatically-set parameters and their values" on
page 336.
Note: When you are ready to sample (after executing REC
Audio Input), press the SAMPLING REC switch and then
the SAMPLING START/STOP switch to begin sampling.
(This is because Trigger is set to Sampling START SW.)
When you've finished performing, press the SAMPLING
START/STOP switch to stop sampling.
Note: Here's how to check the data you just sampled.
If you specified Save to RAM, play the C2 note of the
keyboard to hear the sample. If you specified Save to
MEDIA, use the menu command Select Directory to hear
the sample.
Note: If you specified Save to MEDIA and want to change
the save-destination for the Wave files, use the menu
command Select Directory.
Note: If you want to change the way in which sampling is
initiated, change the Trigger setting.
Sampling: Menu Command Truncate (for Sample Edit)
Note: If you selected S/P DIF for Source Audio, use System
Clock (Global 0–2a) to change the system clock.
If you select Auto Resample through IFX:
1) Use IFX to select the effect that you want to apply to the
sample.
2) Press the OK button to execute Auto Sampling Setup
(Auto Resample through IFX), or press the Cancel button if
you decide not to execute. For more information, please see
"Auto Sampling Setup: Automatically-set parameters and
their values" on page 336.
Note: When you are ready to resample (after executing Auto
Resample through IFX), perform the following steps.
1) Use Key (0–2b) to specify the switch to which the sample
you want to resample is assigned.
2) Use P8: Insert Effect to make effect settings. To hear the
sound, play the note you specified in Key.
3) To begin resampling, press the SAMPLING REC switch
and then the SAMPLING START/STOP switch. (This is
because Trigger is set to Sampling START SW.) The sample
will play, and when playback ends, it will be resampled.
Note: To check the resampled data, play the note you
specified in the Key parameter.
To prevent the insert effect from being applied "in
duplicate" when you listen to the resampled data, Bus
Select (All OSCs to) (8–1b) will automatically be set to
L/R when resampling ends. If you want to apply IFX
and resample once again, you will need to change this
setting back to the same IFX.
Truncate (for Sample Edit)
This command deletes unwanted data that lies beyond the
Edit Range Start and Edit Range End. Use this command
when you wish to delete silence at the beginning or end of
the waveform data.
Note: If you wish to delete unneeded (unplayed) sample
data after setting the Start Address Start, Loop Start Address
Loop S and End Address End (2–1d), use the Truncate (for
Loop Edit) menu command found in P2: Loop Edit.
1. Use Sample Select (1–1b) to select the sample that you
wish to edit, and use Edit Range Start and Edit Range
End to specify the editing range.
You can press the SAMPLING START/STOP switch or Play
button to hear the portion that will be left by the Truncate
command.
2. Select "Truncate" to open the dialog box.
