Sampling - Korg NAUTILUS Series Operation Manual

Appendices

Sampling

Can't sample
Are the audio input settings correct?
• See "Audio inputs don't work properly" on page 234
Is there enough free RAM memory for sampling?
Is there free space in memory? For more information, see
"0–1f: Free Sample Memory/Locations" on page 579 of the
PG, and "0–9: Media Info" on page 702 of the PG.
• In order to sample to RAM, you must allocate sufficient
space for sampling.
• If you are sampling to drive, select a different disk. For
more information, see "Select Directory/File for Sample
To Disk" on page 115 of the PG.
• Delete unneeded samples. For more information, see
"Delete Sample" on page 606 of the PG, and "0–4:
Sample Manage" on page 643 of the PG.
• Save important samples to external media, and then
delete them from memory.
If you're sampling to the internal drive, did you uncheck the
Memory Protect "Internal HDD Save" dialog box?
(GLOBAL > Basic Setup– Basic)
If you're sampling to external USB storage media, did you
select recordable media?
Is the Trigger setting correct? For more information, see
"Trigger" on page 24 of the PG.
In SAMPLING mode, if Resample is set to Auto, has the
sample to be resampled been assigned to the keyboard, and
the Key parameter set correctly? See "Applying an insert
effect to a sample and resampling the result" on page 137.
Is the Source Bus setting correct?
If a "buffer overrun error occurred" message is displayed
frequently when you are sampling to disk, execute the page
menu command Check Medium (MEDIA– Utility page) to
find and correct any errors on the selected MS-DOS format
media. For more information, see "Check Medium" on
page 728 of the PG.
A stereo sample can't be played in stereo
Is the multisample actually stereo?
• Execute the page menu command "MS Mono To Stereo"
to convert the multisample to stereo. For more
information, see "MS Mono To Stereo/MS Stereo To
Mono (Change Multisample Type)" on page 610 of the
PG.
Is the sample name assigned correctly? (See "Stereo" on
page 576 of the PG.)
238
Volume of a recorded sample is too
low/too high
Samples that you resampled at a Recording Level of
approximately 0.0 (dB) have a lower volume than when you
resampled them.
• Did you turn on the Auto +12 dB On setting when you
resampled? See "Auto +12 dB On" on page 131.
• If you resampled with Auto +12 dB On turned off, turn
on +12 dB (SAMPLING > Loop Edit page) for that
sample.
Song playback stops temporarily when
you sample
Is Auto Optimize RAM checked?
• If this is checked, RAM will be optimized automatically
when sampling ends, causing the sound to stop at that
point. If a song is being played in SEQUENCER mode,
the playback will stop.
AIFF file can't be loaded
Make sure that the file suffix is three characters: .AIF. Some
computer applications create files with a four character
suffix, .AIFF, which is not recognized by the NAUTILUS.
Time lag between pressing the
SAMPLING REC button and entering
sampling-standby mode
The length of time until you enter sampling-standby mode
will depend on the state of the free space on the drive (i.e.,
whether the free space is continuous or fragmented).
• When sampling to the drive, pressing the SAMPLING
REC button will cause the amount of space specified by
Sample Time to be allocated within the drive.
• Set Sample Time only slightly longer than the length
that you will actually sample; avoid specifying an
excessively long sample time.
Snap/click noise in recorded sample
Some things can cause the system to pause briefly in the
middle of recording a sample, creating a snap or click noise.
These include changing the EXi type parameters on the EXi
PROGRAM > Program Basic page, or receiving a System
Exclusive bulk dump. Avoid these while sampling.
