About KORG format files
KORG format file structure
There are three types of sample-related Korg-format
files: .KMP files for multisamples, .KSF files for
samples, and .KSC files which handle the first two as a
collection. Similar to the AIFF format, .KMP/.KSF files
consist of chunks.
PIANO.KMP
PCMGROUP.KSC
Ac. Piano
PIANO.KMP
RHODES.KMP
SNARE_00.KSF
PI0000.KSF
PI0001.KSF
PI0002.KSF
PI0003.KSF
Unless stated otherwise, all data is Big Endian.
• When a Korg format file saved on the OASYS is
loaded by the TRINITY,
• Of the parameters for each song, the following
parameters are ignored. (The chunk that includes
the parameter is given in parentheses)
Filter cutoff (RLP1 chunk)
Transpose (RLP2 chunk)
Resonance (RLP2 chunk)
Attack (RLP2 chunk)
Decay (RLP2 chunk)
Drive (RLP3 chunk)
Boost (RLP3 chunk)
LowEQLevel (RLP3 chunk)
MidEQLevel (RLP3 chunk)
HighEQLevel (RLP3 chunk)
• Of the parameters for each sample, reverse
playback and loop off settings (included in the
attribute parameters of the SMD1 chunk) will be
ignored, and will be handled respectively as
forward playback and loop on. Only the twelve
types of sampling frequency supported by the
Trinity will be loaded correctly, and if the
frequency is unsupported, the next lowest
frequency will be selected.
• Split sample files cannot be loaded.
• When a Korg format file saved on the TRINITY is
loaded into the OASYS,
• Compressed sample files cannot be loaded.
