Loop Settings - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Sampling (Open Sampling System)
decay-type sounds such as drums). (Stereo samples are
supported.)
• 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.

Loop settings

1. Select the sample for which you wish to make loop
settings.
To select the sample, use the Sample Select or Index
parameters of P2: Loop Edit page or of the P0:
Recording, Recording page.
If you use 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.
Loop On: Start End Loop Start End
Start End is repeated)
Loop Off: Start End
To play the sample, press the key to which the sample is
assigned (the key range that is highlighted in Keyboard
& Pad).
A sample waveform that was sampled with Sample
Mode set to Stereo will be displayed in two levels. The
upper level is the L channel, and the lower level is the R
channel.
3. Set the start address in "Start," the loop start address
in "Loop Start," and the end address in "End."
Select Loop Start (highlighted), and use the [VALUE]
dial or other VALUE controllers to modify the value. The
corresponding vertical line will move. Set Start and End
in the same way. In the example shown below, Start is set
immediately before the first waveform, Loop Start is set
immediately before the second waveform, and End is set
as desired.

ZOOM
4. By using the ZOOM button you can change the range
that is displayed. When "Start" is highlighted, zoom
will be performed from the start address.

(Loop
Area "a" shown in the illustration displays the entire
sample. Area "b" indicates the region within the entire
sample that is shown in area "c." As you zoom-in on the
time axis, this shows you where the zoomed region is
located within the entire sample. Use the Zoom buttons to
specify how area "c" will show a magnified (zoom-in) or
reduced (zoom-out) view of the waveform.
Use Zero
If the Use Zero check box is checked, only those
addresses where the waveform data crosses the zero level
will be found automatically when searching, and can be
set. This lets you easily make address settings where
noise is less likely to occur when looping.
Truncate
5. If necessary, use the page menu command "Truncate"
to delete unwanted data that falls outside the start (or
loop start) and end addresses.
Select the Front & End radio button.
In this example, we will not change the settings of the
Save to No. and Overwrite check boxes, so press the OK
button to execute.
When you execute this operation, the truncated sample
data will automatically be assigned to the index.
