Korg format sample files

Korg format file structure
There are three types of sample-related Korg-format files:
.KMP files for multisamples, .KSF files for samples, and
.KSC files which handle the first two as a collection. Similar
to the AIFF format, .KMP/.KSF files consist of chunks.
PIANO.KMP
PCMGROUP.KSC
Ac. Piano
PIANO.KMP
RHODES.KMP
SNARE_00.KSF
PI0000.KSF
PI0001.KSF
PI0002.KSF
PI0003.KSF
Unless stated otherwise, all data is Big Endian.
TRINITY Compatibility
Loading NAUTILUS multisamples into the
TRINITY
When loading NAUTILUS multisamples into the TRINITY,
the following parameters are ignored:
• RLP1 chunk: Filter cutoff
• RLP2 chunk: Transpose, Resonance, Attack, and
Decay
• RLP3 chunk: Drive, Boost, LowEQLevel,
MidEQLevel, and HighEQLevel
Loading NAUTILUS samples into the TRINITY
• The Reverse Playback and Loop Off settings (included
in the attribute parameters of the SMD1 chunk) will be
ignored, and will be handled respectively as forward
playback and loop on.
• The +12dB setting is ignored.
• Split sample files cannot be loaded.
• The NAUTILUS supports a broader range of sampling
frequencies than the TRINITY. If the sampling
frequency is not supported by the TRINITY, the next-
lowest frequency will be selected.
Loading TRINITY files into the NAUTILUS
When a Korg format file saved on the TRINITY is loaded
into the NAUTILUS:
• Compressed sample files cannot be loaded.
• Multisamples that use internal samples of the Trinity will
be assigned to identically-numbered samples in
SAMPLING mode.

TRITON Compatibility
Loading NAUTILUS multisamples into the TRITON
When loading a NAUTILUS .KMP file into the TRITON,
the following parameters are ignored: Drive, Boost,
LowEQLevel, MidEQLevel, and HighEQLevel. All of
these parameters are in the RLP3 chunk.
