[List of Multisample Banks]
Drumsample Select
This lets you select a Drum Sample for DS1.
There are four types of Multisample Banks: ROM,
Sampling Mode, EXs, and User Sample Banks. For each
type, you can also choose between looking at mono and
stereo Drum Samples. Note that stereo Drum Samples will
require twice as many voices as mono Multisamples.
ROM: These are the KRONOS's standard Drum Samples.
Smp (Sampling Mode) Samples are the ones that you can
see and edit in Sampling Mode. After the abbreviation
"Smp," several different things may appear, as described
below.
Smp: Old RAM means that this is an older Drum Kit
pointing to the legacy "RAM" bank. Instead of pointing to a
specific User Sample Bank, it will use whatever Sample data
is loaded into Sampling Mode. Updating to the new format is
easy; for more information, see "Converting older sounds"
on page 172 of the Operation Guide.
Smp: New Sampling Session will appear when there's data
in Sampling Mode which hasn't yet been saved to disk as a
User Sample Bank. For instance, this might happen if you've
loaded an old KSC file, loaded individual Samples or
Multisamples, or recorded some new samples. Once the
KSC is saved to disk, the name will update to show the file
path (as described below).
Smp: [file name] will appear when a User Sample Bank has
been loaded into Sampling Mode. The name is the file name
itself along with those of all its enclosing folders.
EXs: These are the KRONOS's EXs drum samples. The
number of drum samples will differ depending on the EXs.
The KRONOS ships with 9 EXs banks. Note that some EXs
banks may not contain drum samples.
Keys to which drum samples are
assigned are shown in red.
"KEY": The selected key is shown in blue.
You can select a key by holding down the E N TER switch and playing the
desired note.

When the Drum Sample Select window is open, you can use
the Find button to search for Drum Samples by name. The
button is marked with a magnifying-glass icon, and is
located at the bottom of the window to the right of the OK
button. For more information, see "Find dialog" on page 5.
ROM/EXs mono and stereo
When you press the "Drumsample Select" popup button a
drum sample list will appear, allowing you to choose drum
samples from the list.
Use the tabs to choose a category, and then choose a drum
sample from within the category. Press the OK button to
execute, or press the Cancel button to cancel.
It is not possible to edit the category names of drum
samples, or to re-assign the category.
ROM Mono and EXs Mono: Mono drum samples will be
displayed. The individual left and right channels of ROM
and EXs stereo drum samples can also be selected as mono
drum samples. In these cases, -L or -R is shown following
the drum sample name.
ROM Stereo and EXs Stereo: Only stereo drum samples
will be displayed.
Sampling Mode and User Sample Bank mono and
stereo
Use the tabs to select a group of one thousand, and then
choose a Sample within that group. Press the OK button to
execute, or press the Cancel button to cancel.
Mono: Mono drum samples will be displayed. The L-
channel or R-channel of stereo drum samples can also be
selected as mono drum samples. In these cases, -L or -R is
shown following the drum sample of the same name.
Stereo: Only stereo drum samples will be displayed, using
the same numbers and names as the mono samples. The
same stereo sample will be specified regardless of whether
you select -L or -R.
Start Offset
In addition to simply starting playback from the beginning,
ROM and EXs Drum Samples can have up to 8 different pre-
programmed alternate starting points. Similarly, Sampling
Mode and User Sample Bank Drum Samples can play either
from the beginning of the waveform, or from the loop start
point.
With ROM and EXs Drum Samples, the Start Offset
specifies whether to use the normal start point (Off), or to
use one of the alternate start points (1st–8th).
[Off, 1st...8th]
