Using the OASYS PCI
Saving Multisamples
If you have created a Multisample that you'd like to use in other Multis, you can
save the Multisample as a separate file on disk. Multisample files store all of the
information in the Multisample Edit window, including links to the Samples used
by the Multisample (but not the Samples themselves).
To save a Multisample:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The OASYS PCI installer creates a folder named "User Files," with sub-directories
for Programs, Multis, and Multisamples. You can save your own Multisamples into
the Multisamples folder inside this directory (User Files:Multisamples). You can
also create other main folders inside the OASYS PCI folder, at the same level as
"User Files."
It's important to store Multisamples inside a sub-directory named "Multisamples."
If a Multisample is not stored in a Multisample folder inside the OASYS PCI folder,
it will not appear in the Multisample Catalog.
For more information on saving files, see"Working With Files" on page 55.
Don't save into the Korg and Korg FX Programs folders
The Korg and Korg FX Programs folders are reserved for Korg's own use, so don't
save your own sounds in these folders. If you do, the sounds may be deleted when
you update or re-install the OASYS PCI software.
OASYS PCI and Sample RAM
Each of the four effects/synths DSP chips has 6 MB of DRAM, used for samples
and long delays. The samples for a single Patch must fit within the 6MB of DRAM
belonging to a single DSP chip. Multiple Patches may use the DRAM on a single
DSP, but samples for a single Patch cannot span across the RAM of multiple DSPs.
So, you can use four Patches, each with its own 6 MB of samples– but you can't use
a single Patch with 24 MB of samples.
OASYS PCI supports 24-bit samples, allowing very high fidelity. This also means
that the RAM hardware is designed for 24-bit sample words, as opposed to the 16-
bit words common on most samplers. So, a sample which would take up 4 MB on a
16-bit sampler will take up 6 MB on the 24-bit OASYS PCI.
