Auto Sampling Setup; Mixing A Karma Drum Phrase With A Live Guitar Input, And Sampling The Result - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Auto Sampling Setup

The KRONOS provides a lot of flexibility in sampling—
which means that there are sometimes a lot of parameters to
be set up. The Auto Sampling Setup menu command
provides shortcuts to set up all of the parameters for various
common sampling tasks, including resampling, sampling
from the audio inputs, and restoring initialized settings.
In this example we'll explain how you can use Auto
Sampling Setup to make the settings described under
"Resampling a KARMA phrase in Program mode" on
page 156.
1. Carry out steps 1 and 2 of "Resampling a KARMA
phrase in Program mode" on page 156.
2. Press the Audio Input/Sampling tab to go to the P0:
Play– Audio Input/Sampling page.
3. Choose the Auto Sampling Setup page menu
command. A dialog box will open.
4. Make the following settings in the dialog box.
"Resample Program Play": On
This makes the appropriate settings for resampling your
playing on a program.
Mixing a KARMA drum phrase with a live guitar input, and sampling
the result
Here's how you can resample KARMA together with an
external audio input source.
In this example, we will explain how a guitar connected to
the AUDIO INPUT jack can be played along to a drum
phrase played by the KRONOS, and how both can be
sampled together.
Sampling can be performed in a similar way in Combination
and Sequencer modes as well as in Program mode.
1. Press the PROG button to enter Program mode, and
select the drum program that you want to resample.
2. Turn KARMA on (KARMA ON/OFF switch lit), play
the keyboard, and verify that the drum phrase plays.
Turn LATCH on. Press the LATCH switch to make it
light.
Also adjust the tempo "q" as desired.
3. Press the KARMA ON/OFF switch to turn off
KARMA.
4. Connect your guitar to the rear panel AUDIO INPUT
1 jack.
Press the AUDIO INPUT MIC/LINE switch inward to
select the LINE position, and set the LEVEL knob at
about the center.
Sampling in Program and Combination modes Auto Sampling Setup
"Save to": RAM
The resampled data will be written into RAM memory.
"Convert to Program": On
"Program": as desired
After resampling, the data will automatically be
converted into the program number you specified in
"Program."
5. Press the OK button to execute the command.
The KRONOS will make the appropriate settings for
resampling.
6. Resample your playing as described in steps 4 and 5 of
the preceding section.
7. Listen to the sound you resampled.
Go to the Program P0: Play– Main page. Press the PROG
button, then the EXIT switch, and then the Main tab in
the upper line of the LCD screen.
Select the program you specified for "Program" in the
dialog box.
Play the C2 key and you will hear the sound you
resampled.
If you connect a guitar with passive pickups (i.e., a guitar
that does not contain a preamp), you will be unable to
sample it at the correct level because of the impedance
mismatch. Such guitars should be routed through a
preamp or an effect unit.
5. Press the Audio In/Sampling tab to go to the P0: Play–
Audio Input/Sampling page.
Make the following settings.
