Loop Edit - P2: Loop Edit - Korg m3 Operation Manual

Sampling (Open Sampling System)
• P8: IFX– Routing
Bus Select IFX1
Be aware that if you change the Bus Select setting
from Off to L/R or IFX1–5, the volume level sent
to the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks and the
headphones may rise excessively.
Manual "Resampling"
As an alternative to automatically resampling as
described above (Automatic Resampling), you can
simply sample the sounds that you play from the
keyboard (Manual Resampling).
• In Sample (Sample Select), assign the sample that
you will resample, and set Resample to Manual.
Set Trigger to Note On, and set Sample Mode to
Stereo as desired. Then set Source Bus, P8: IFX–
Routing Bus Select and effects, press the
SAMPLING REC and START/STOP switches, and
then press the key to which the sample you want to
resample is assigned; resampling will begin. When
you want to stop resampling, press the SAMPLING
START/STOP switch.

Loop Edit – P2: Loop Edit
You can edit the playback address at which the sample
will be looped. The P2: Loop Edit page lets you do the
following things.
• You can specify the looping addresses by editing
Start, End, and Loop Start while watching the
waveform. Functions like Zoom In/Out, Use Zero,
and Grid make editing easy.
• You can turn looping on/off, adjust the tuning of
the loop playback, apply a +12 dB playback boost,
or reverse the playback.
• You can use the Time Slice function to
automatically detect the attacks of kick and snare
notes etc. in a rhythm loop sample (a looped
sample containing a drum pattern), and
automatically slice the sample at the appropriate
locations. This function can automatically create
performance data (notes) to play the divided
samples at the appropriate moments, letting you
play this phrase in Sequencer mode at the desired
tempo without affecting the pitch of the individual
notes. You can also do things like changing the
pitch of just the snare drum, replacing it with an
entirely different sample, or changing the playback
timing of the phrase in the sequencer to transform
the original rhythm loop into an entirely different
rhythm loop. (Stereo samples are supported.) (See
"Time Slice" on page 359 of the Parameter Guide)
• You can use the Time Stretch function to modify
the tempo without changing the sample's pitch.
When executing Time Stretch, you can choose
either "Sustaining" (suitable for loops of sustained
sounds such as strings or vocal) or "Slice" (suitable
for loops of decay-type sounds such as drums).
(Stereo samples are supported.) (See "Time Stretch"
on page 363 of the Parameter Guide)
• Sometimes when looping a sample of pitched
instruments such as strings or winds, the looped
portion may play back in an unnatural way. By
executing the Crossfade Loop function you can
eliminate this problem so that the loop sounds
right. (See "Crossfade Loop" on page 366 of the
Parameter Guide)
Loop settings
1. Select the sample for which you wish to make
loop settings.
To select the sample, use the Sample (Sample Select)
or Index parameters of P2: Loop Edit page or of the P0:
Recording– Recording page.
If you use Sample (Sample Select) to select the
sample, be aware that the assignment to the index
will also change.

2. In the P2: Loop Edit page, use the "Loop" check
box to turn loop playback on/off for the sample.
Looping will be turned on if the box is checked.
This will operate between the addresses you specify in
step 3.
