File Types
The OASYS PCI use a number of different file types to organize and store sounds.
Each of these types is briefly described below.
Multis
A Multi is a single, complete setup for the OASYS PCI. It includes all of the
settings for the Mixer windows, and for the Programs, Patches, Effects, and
Multisamples being used. The Multi also includes settings for all Program Edit
and Multisample Edit windows, and all Control Panel parameters for the Patches
and Effects.
To put it another way, Multis store all of the settings in the Mixer, Send Busses,
Output Busses, Channel Parameters, Program Edit, Control Panel, and
Multisample Edit windows-everything except for the Preferences and ASIO
Control Panel windows.
For more information, please see "Using Multis" on page 13.
Programs
Programs are the basic sounds of the OASYS PCI, and must be placed on a Mixer
Channel to be played. They play one or two Patches, which can be layered or split
by key and velocity ranges. They also have up to four Insert Effects, which appear
in the Mixer Channel. Programs store all Control Panel settings for their Patches
and Effects.
For more information, please see "Using Programs & Patches" on page 19.
Effects-Only Programs
Effects-Only Programs store all of the Insert Effects for a Mixer Channel, including
all Effects Control Panel parameters. You can use them to load chains of Effects
into a Mixer Channel, or to store such chains for use elsewhere.
Effects-Only Programs are just normal Programs without any Patches loaded into
the Patch slots. Unlike normal Programs, Effects-Only Programs can be used on
any type of input, including Audio Inputs, Streams, or even other Programs.
In the Korg factory voicing, they will be placed in the Programs section of the
folder named "Korg FX Programs."
For more information, please see "Using Effects" on page 23.
Patches
Patches are the basic units of sound creation on the OASYS PCI. They must be
placed in a Program in order to be played. Each Patch contains its own synthesis
algorithm, which may be quite different from one Patch to another. The Patch
