Loading User Sample Banks; Editing User Sample Banks - Korg kronos Operation Manual

Sampling (Open Sampling System)
1. Save any data you've created in Sampling Mode. (The
next step will erase all Sampling Mode data.)
2. In Disk mode, browse into the
CoverBand_UserBank.KSC file.
3. Select one or more Multisamples (Multiple Select lets
you choose two or more at once).
4. Load the Multisamples using the Clear All option.

Loading User Sample Banks

Once saved to disk, User Sample Banks can be used much
like EXs. To load a User Sample Bank:
1. Go to the folder in which you've saved your KSC from
"Saving User Sample Banks," above.
2. Select the "[name] UserBank.KSC" file.
3. Press the Load button.
The Load KSC dialog will appear.

Editing User Sample Banks

At any time, you can load a User Sample Bank's data into
Sampling Mode and edit the Samples or Multisamples as
desired, or add new Samples or Multisamples. To do so:
1. If the data is already loaded as a User Sample Bank,
use the "Unload all in bank" command on the Global
Sample Management page to unload the data before
proceeding.
For more information, see "Unloading an entire bank of
data" on page 767 of the Parameter Guide.
2. Go to the folder in which you've saved your KSC from
"Saving User Sample Banks," above.
3. Select the "[name].KSC" file—the one without
"UserBank" in the name.
4. Press the Load button.
The Load KSC dialog will appear.
5. Set .KSC Allocation to Clear Sampling Mode Data.
This is important, in order to preserve the User Sample Bank
ID. For more information, see "User Sample Bank IDs,"
below.
6. Press OK to load the data.

5. Load additional Multisamples or Drumsamples from
other UserBank.KSC files, using the Append Option.
6. Save a new KSC with a different name (such as
BestOfEverything.KSC), with Include set to "Links to
EXs and User Sample Banks."
For more detailed step-by-step information on this approach,
see "Creating a new KSC by loading individual
Multisamples" on page 176.
4. If you've just saved the KSC that you want to load, set
.KSC Allocation to Clear Sampling Mode Data.
This will unload the data from Sampling Mode. Data in User
Sample Banks can be loaded either into Sampling Mode (for
editing), or as a User Sample Bank (for playback with
Virtual Memory), but not both at the same time.
5. For now, leave the Load Method for EXs and User
Sample Banks set to the default of .KSC Setting.
The automatically-created [name]_UserBank.KSC file will
be set to use Virtual Memory.
6. Press OK to load the User Sample Bank.
That's it! Any Programs, Wave Sequences, or Drum Kits
which used the data from Sampling Mode will automatically
use the same data from the User Sample Bank.
Automatic loading at startup
You can use the KSC Auto-Load settings to load samples
automatically at startup, as described under "Automatically
loading sample data" on page 174.
7. Edit as desired, but don't change the numbering of
existing Multisamples (or Samples, if you've used
them for Drum Kits). If you add new Multisamples or
Samples, add them at the end of the list.
Programs, Wave Sequences, and Drum Kits refer to
Multisamples and Samples by their number in the bank. To
make sure that existing sounds continue to work properly,
keep that numbering the same.
8. Save the KSC.
For details, see "Saving User Sample Banks," above.
Converting older sounds
Older PCG and KSC files will continue to work just as they
did previously: "RAM" sample data will load into Sampling
Mode, and Programs, Wave Sequences, and Drum Kits will
play that sample data. User Sample Banks offer many
advantages, however, and it's easy to convert your old PCGs
and KSCs with "RAM" samples to the new format. To do so:
1. Load the old-format KSC file, and the PCG(s) which
use the KSC's samples.
2. Follow all of the instructions under "Saving User
Sample Banks" on page 162.
