Saving creates two KSC files
When you save a KSC which includes Sampling Mode data,
two KSC files are created:
• A KSC with the name you've specified, which includes
the actual Samples and Multisamples from Sampling
Mode.
• A second KSC which includes links to the first KSC's
Sampling Mode Data, with Load Method for EXs and
User Sample Banks set to Virtual Memory. The name for
this KSC is the name you've specified followed by the
text "_UserBank." For instance, if the first KSC is
named BillGig.KSC, the second will be
BillGig_UserBank.KSC. This is the file that you'll load
to access the sample data as a User Sample Bank.
Both files may contain references to other EXs or User
Sample Banks, depending on the setting of the Include
parameter in the Save dialog.
Saving User Sample Banks: Examples
Revising an existing User Sample Bank
Let's say that you have a set of samples in a User Sample
Bank, and you want to make a few changes to improve or
expand it. You load the data into Sampling Mode and
perform your edits, such as improving loop points, changing
Multisample mapping, maybe even adding a few related
samples.
When you save your Sampling Data, make sure that the
Force new User Sample Bank ID option is Off (un-
checked). Leaving this un-checked means that the User
Sample Bank retains its identity; any Programs or other
.KSC files which refer to it will continue to function as
expected. For more information, see "User Sample Bank
IDs" on page 165.
Changing an existing User Sample Bank into
something different
You might sometimes load data into Sampling Mode and
then change a lot of the Samples and Multisamples, so that
it's essentially a new set of sounds. In this case, you'll
probably wish to save the result as a completely new User
Sample Bank—rather than over-writing the original data. To
do this, save your Sampling Data with a different name and
turn On the Force new User Sample Bank ID option. This
ensures that the original User Sample Bank, and any
Programs or KSCs which refer to it, will continue to function
as expected.
User Sample Banks Saving User Sample Banks
If you have Programs, Wave Sequences, etc. that you want to
switch from using the original User Sample Bank to the new
one, use the Remap MS/Sample Banks menu command to
do so (you can find this on the Global Sample Management
page, as well as any page with a Sample/Multisample bank
select parameter).
Note that if you are a normal user (as opposed to a sound
developer creating a file for distribution or sale) and you just
want to add or remove Multisamples or Drumsamples—for
instance, in order to save memory or create a "best of"
KSC—you should NOT do this; instead, see "Creating
combined or stripped-down KSCs," below.
Creating combined or stripped-down KSCs
The great thing about User Sample Banks is that they let you
use their data by reference, instead of by copying and editing
the data itself. Let's say that you have three User Sample
Banks: CoverBand_UserBank.KSC,
SoloProject_UserBank.KSC, and
Experimental_UserBank.KSC. You can then create
additional KSCs to do any of the following:
• Combine all three KSCs into a single master KSC, which
you can load in a single step
• Create different stripped-down versions of
CoverBand.KSC, each containing the samples for a few
of the songs.
• Create a "best of" KSC with only your favorite samples
from the three KSCs.
All of these would take up very little additional space on the
disk, don't require any editing in Sampling Mode, and don't
require you to edit the original data in any way.
To combine all three KSCs:
1. Save any data you've created in Sampling Mode. (The
next step will erase all Sampling Mode data.)
2. Load CoverBand_UserBank.KSC, using the Clear All
option.
This clears out all other sample data, so that the KSC you
save later will include only the data you've just loaded.
3. Load SoloProject_UserBank.KSC and
Experimental_UserBank.KSC, using the Append
option.
4. Save a new KSC with a different name (such as
Combined.KSC), with Include set to "Links to EXs
and User Sample Banks."
This new KSC now links to all of the sample data from the
three individual KSCs.
To create a stripped-down version of CoverBand.KSC:
1. Save any data you've created in Sampling Mode. (The
next step will erase all Sampling Mode data.)
2. Load CoverBand_UserBank.KSC, using the Clear All
option.
3. On the Global Sample Management page, set the
Bank to CoverBand.KSC, and delete any unwanted
Multisamples or Drumsamples.
4. Save a new KSC with a different name (such as
CoverBandStripped.KSC), with Include set to "Links
to EXs and User Sample Banks."

from the three KSCs:
