194 Sound operating mode

Basic: OSC Basic

On When the same note is played repeatedly, the pre-
vious note will be silenced before the next note is
sounded, so that the notes do not overlap.
Off When the same note is played repeatedly, the pre-
vious note will not be silenced before the next
note is sounded.
Legato
This parameter is only available when the selected mode is
Mono. It is the same found on the main page of the Sound
mode.
See "Legato" on page 191 for information on this parameter.
Priority
This parameter is available when the selected mode is Mono. It
specifies which note will be given priority to play when two or
more notes are played simultaneously.
Low Lowest note will take priority.
High Highest note will take priority.
Last Last note will take priority.
Hold
Use this parameter to keep the notes sustained even after releas-
ing the keys.
Sound Transpose Range
Use these parameters to set a range for transposition. Inside this
range notes are transposed. Outside this range, they are not
transposed. This is useful to avoid RX Sounds being transposed
when transposing a Sound.
Basic: OSC Basic
The multisample(s) on which the Sound will be based can be
selected here for each of the five oscillators. Each oscillator can
use 1 or 2 multisamples, each one assigned to the High or Low
layer.
OSC Multisample
High/Low Bank/Num
Use these parameters to select a different multisample for each of
the High and Low layers. You can use velocity to switch between
the two multisamples. Offset, Reverse and Level can be adjusted
independently for the High and Low multisamples.
The High and Low pop-up menus is where you select the bank
(ROM, RAM or EXB), while the numeric field under it is for
selecting the multisample inside the selected bank. The Sound
name appears on its right.
The multisample you select for the High layer will be triggered
by velocities higher than the value of the "Velocity Multisample
Switch Low-High" parameter (see page 195). If you do not wish
to use velocity switching, set the switch to a value of 001, and
select only the High multisample.
ROM The Flash-ROM bank. The internal Flash-ROM
contains 445 different multisamples (preset mul-
tisamples), supplied by Korg as standard.
RAM RAM multisample, read from the RAM. These
are user-loaded or created multisamples.
Note: If you create a new Sound based on a RAM
multisample, the RAM samples must be loaded
from disk. See "PCM Autoload" and "Load PCM
button" on page 273 (Disk mode) for information
on loading PCM samples, either at startup or with
a dedicated command.
EXB1, EXB2 EXB1 or EXB2 multisample, loaded from the cor-
responding optional EXB board (if installed).
Note: Each multisample has an upper note range limit, and cannot
produce sound when played above that limit.
2nd Offset
These parameters specify the point where the multisample(s)
will begin to play. For some multisamples this parameter will not
be available.
On The sound will begin from the offset location
pre-determined for each multisample.
Off The sound will start from the beginning of the
multisample waveform.
Reverse
The multisample will be played in reverse. In the case of Flash-
ROM or optional (RAM or EXB) multisamples that were origi-
nally specified to loop, the multisample will be played back in
"one-shot" reverse mode. If the multisample was originally set to
reverse, it will playback without change.
On The multisample will playback in reverse.
Off The multisample will play back normally.
Level
These parameters specify the level of each multisample.
0...127 Multisample level.
Note: Depending on the multisample, high settings of this parame-
ter may cause the sound to distort when a chord is played. If this
occurs, lower the level.
Pitch/Delay/Velocity Switch
Octave
Use this parameter to adjust the pitch of the selected oscillator in
octave units. The normal octave of the multisample is "0".
-2...+1 Octave transposition.
