Write Sample Dialog Box; Write Multisample Dialog Box - Korg PA1X User Manual

226 Sampling operating mode

Write Sample dialog box

• "P" is Akai S1000 and S3000 native Program format
(including the sample key assignation, or multisample).
Note: Akai data can only be imported from CD.
Imported Sounds and Multisamples are stored in the internal
SSD memory, that cannot be deleted when turning the instru-
ment off.
Imported Samples are stored in RAM, and are deleted when
turning the instrument off. Before turning the instrument off,
save them to disk by selecting the Write command from the page
menu while in any page of the Sample Edit / Sample Record sec-
tion.
To automatically load samples when turning the instrument on,
check the "PCM Autoload" function in Disk mode (see
page 273). To load samples after turning the instrument on,
press the "Load PCM" button in the same page (see page 273).
Note: While Pa1X and Triton share most of their internal multi-
samples, some of them may differ. While reading a PCG file, Pa1X
tries to use exactly the same multisamples as in Triton. If this is not
possible, it looks for a similar multisample. If this too is not possi-
ble, an <empty> multisample will be selected. Enter the Sound Edit
mode, and select a multisample suitable for the imported Program.
Note: Not all Triton's PCG data are imported. Insert FX, EQ,
Arpeggio, Combi, Global and Drum Kit data are not loaded.
Note: You cannot import Drum Kits.
Note: Pa1X cannot read multisamples saved on more than a single
floppy disk.
Note: Multisample may contain many different samples. They are
assigned to the same keys as in the original file.
Hint: When importing a KMP file, take note of the selected multi-
sample name; you will need it in Sound Edit mode, when assigning
the multisample to a new Sound.
Export
Depending on wheter you are in the "Sample Edit / Sample
Record" or "Multiample" section, this command allows you to
export a sample in one of two popular computer audio file for-
mats, or a multisample in a Korg ".KMP" file.
See "Export Sample dialog box" on page 228, or "Export Multi-
sample dialog box" on page 228 for more information.
Exit from Record
Choose this command to exit from the Sampling mode.
Write Sample dialog box
Open this dialog box by selecting the Write command from the
page menu, while in the Sample Edit / Sample Record section. In
this dialog box you can save the sample to disk, inside the (hid-
den) PCM folder. Please always remember to save PCM samples
into a ".SET" folder, before turning the instrument off, or before
loading or recording new samples.
To assign a different name to the sample, press the
Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Select an option to select a memory location where to save the
sample:
• Select "Save as a new Sample" to save to a new location.
• Select "Save to" to overwrite an existing location. Warning:
The older sample at the same location will be deleted!

Write MultiSample dialog box

Open this dialog box by selecting the Write command from the
page menu, while in the Multisample section. In this dialog box
you can save the multisample to the internal memory (SSD).
Multisamples are a way to organize samples on the keyboard,
and are used by Sounds as their basis.
Note: Multisamples are maintained in memory even when turning
the instrument off, but the associated samples are not. To automat-
ically reload them to the RAM memory when turning the instru-
ment on, check the "PCM Autoload" parameter in the Disk mode
(see page 273).
To assign a different name to the multisample, press the
(Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Select an option to select a memory location where to save the
sample:
• Select "Save as a new MultiSample" to save to a new loca-
tion.
• Select "Save to" to overwrite an existing location. Warning:
The older multisample at the same location will be deleted!
