Korg TRITON Extreme TRITON Extreme music workstation/sampler Operation Manual page 71

In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, you
can set this parameter using the Sampling page menu
command "Select Bank & Smpl. No.".
MEDIA: The sample will be written to the media.
If you select MEDIA, you can also select the writing-
destination drive.
In all modes, this is specified by the page menu com-
mand "Select Directory."
Media Select
In the "Media Select" field, select the drive. Use the
Open and Up buttons to move between levels of the
directory hierarchy to select the desired directory. Press
the Done button to finalize the settings.
If you sampled to the media as a WAVE file, the
"Auto +12 dB On" setting will be ignored. The play-
back level of the WAVE file is set by "WAVE File Play
Level" (☞PG p.158).
2 In "Sample Time," specify the length of time that you
want to sample.
This can be set in units of minutes and seconds.
If you are sampling to RAM (sample memory), you
can sample a maximum of approximately 2 minutes 54
seconds in mono, or approximately 1 minute 27 sec-
onds in stereo.
If you are sampling to MEDIA, you can sample a max-
imum of 80 minutes in either mono or stereo (mono:
approximately 440 Mbytes, stereo: approximately 879
Mbytes).
3 Set "Sample Mode" to specify whether a mono or a
stereo file will be created.
L-Mono: The sound of the internal L channel will be
sampled in mono.
R-Mono: The sound of the internal R channel will be
sampled in mono.
Stereo: The sound of the internal L and R channels will
be sampled in stereo.
The recording level and "Auto +12 dB On"
When you resample the playback of a song, or your key-
board performance using a program, combination, or
sample, or if you mix your performance with an external
audio source and sample the result, you should normally
set "Recording Level" to –12.0 (dB). If you resample at
–12.0 (dB), the sample data will be recorded at the opti-
mum level, but the playback level will be lower than the
level during sampling (if "+12 dB" is off). In such cases,
you can check "Auto +12 dB On" when you resample, so
that "+12 dB" (Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will auto-
matically be turned on, and the recorded sample will play
back at the same level at during resampling.
When you sample an external audio source, you should
normally set "Recording Level" to +0.0 (dB). The sample
data will be recorded at the optimum level. If you sample
with "Auto +12 dB On" turned off at this time, "+12 dB"
(Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will be off, and the sam-
ple will play back at the same level at which it was sam-
pled.
When the power is turned on, "Recording Level" and
"Auto +12 dB On" will default to the following settings.
Program, Combination, Sequencer modes
"Recording Level": –12.0 (dB), "Auto +12 dB On": on
Sampling mode
"Recording Level": +0.0 (dB), "Auto +12 dB On": off
These settings assume that you will mainly be resampling
in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes (listed
above), and performing conventional sampling in Sam-
pling mode (listed below).
Optimizing the sample memory (RAM)
If RAM has been specified as the destination to which
data will be written during sampling, you can specify that
sample memory (RAM) be automatically optimized after
the data is written. When optimization is performed,
unused areas that are occupying memory space will be
reorganized to increase the available free space. In the
Global mode P0: Basic Setup, Input/Sampling page, you
can check "Auto Optimize RAM" so that RAM will auto-
matically be optimized when sampling ends. In this case,
you will always be able to sample without any wasted
RAM area, but the sound will stop for a time when sam-
pling ends. If a song is being played back in Sequencer
mode, the playback will stop.
If you are playing back a song, or if you are repeatedly
recording multiple samples in various locations while lis-
tening to audio input from a CD etc., you can sample with
"Auto Optimize RAM" unchecked, and then execute the
page menu command "Optimize RAM" (found in the
Sampling page of Program, Combination, or Sequencer
modes, and in P0–P4 of Sampling mode) to optimize the
RAM when the remaining amount of memory begins to
decrease. The remaining amount of sample memory
(RAM) can be checked in Sampling mode P0: Memory
Status.
