Loading Pcm Expansion Option Multisamples - Korg M3 XPANDED Supplementary Manual

Loading PCM expansion option
multisamples
In order to use programs of the EX-USB-PCM01, 02,
and 03 PCM expansion options, you'll need to load the
corresponding multisamples.
Note: An M3 XP in which the separately sold
ANDED
EXB-M256 option has not been installed will be able to
load only one of the three sets of multisamples (EX-
USB-PCM01, 02, or 03). If the separately sold EXB-
M256 option is installed, you'll be able to load and use
all of the EX-USB-PCM01, 02, and 03 multisample sets.
In order to take full advantage of the PCM expansion
options, we recommend that you install this.
Loading in the EX-USB-PCM page
1. Connect the USB device containing the KEP file to
the USB A connector of the M3 XP
Note: The KEP file on the USB device must be located
in the root directory.
2. Press the MODE MEDIA switch to enter Media
mode.
3. In the lower right of the display, press the EX-
USB-PCM tab to access the EX-USB-PCM page.
The upper line will show the usage of RAM1 and
RAM2. RAM2 is available if the separately sold EXB-
M256 option is installed.
The titles of the EX-USB-PCM data are shown in "EX-
USB-PCM Title."
4. Select the EX-USB-PCM that you want to load, and
press the Load button.
The Load button will be available if you select an EX-
USB-PCM whose "Status" is Unloaded. When you
press the Load button, a confirmation message will
appear; press the OK button to load the data.
This button can't be selected if RAM memory capacity
is insufficient, or if you selected a title whose "Status"
is Loaded.
When loading is completed, "Status" will change to
Loaded. The bar that indicates the RAM usage in the
RAM1
RAM2
upper line of the display will change from green (Free)
to blue (EX-USB-PCM), verifying that the EX-USB-
PCM has been loaded into RAM memory.
Note: If there is free space in both RAM1 and RAM2 (if
the EXB-M256 is installed), the data will be loaded
starting with RAM1.

Loading in the Load page
As an alternative to loading them in the Media mode
EX-USB-PCM page as described above, PCM
expansion option multisamples can also be loaded
from the Load page etc. of the same mode.
Normally you'll use this method when you need to
load an EX-USB-PCM that's not listed in the EX-USB-
PCM page.

Loading PCM expansion option multisamples

If the Load button is not active, you'll need to
unload multisamples (☞ page 8 "Removing
(unloading) PCM expansion option
multisamples"). Alternatively, you can delete
samples or multisamples in the Sampling mode
(☞PG page 345, page 347).
The PCM expansion option multisamples will
disappear from the internal RAM memory when
you power-off the M3 XP
load them the next time you power-on the M3.
However, you can use the Auto Load function so
that the multisamples will be loaded automatically
when the power is turned on. (☞ page 9 "EX-USB-
PCM Auto Load function")
