Sampling Mode - Korg Triton-Rack Parameter Manual

Sampling mode gives you the capability to record 48 kHz 16
bit samples.
On the TRITON-Rack, "sampling" refers to a process in
which analog audio signals from a mic or audio device con-
nected to the AUDIO INPUT jack are converted into digital
form and recorded into internal memory. The sound that is
converted into digital form can be processed by an insert
effect is being sampled.
The TRITON-Rack comes with 16 Mbytes of sample data
(waveform data). This allows approximately 2 minutes 54
seconds of monaural sampling, or approximately 1 minute
27 seconds of stereo sampling. By installing additional 72
pin SIMM modules, you can expand the memory to a maxi-
mum of 96 Mbytes (three 32 Mbyte SIMM modules; the
included 16 Mbyte module must be replaced by a 32 Mbyte
module). In this case, six monaural samples of up to 2 min-
utes 54 seconds (or stereo samples of up to 1 minute 27 sec-
onds) can be recorded, for a total of 17 minutes 28 seconds of
monaural sampling (or 8 minutes 44 seconds of stereo sam-
pling). ( Refer to p.243 for details on installing 72 pin
SIMM modules.)
In Sampling mode, samples that have been sampled or
loaded from storage media can be assigned to an index
(zone) to create a multisample. One multisample can contain
many indexes.
A multisample can easily be converted into a pro-
gram.( "Conv. To Prog" 1.1–3g). Once the m ultisample is
converted it can be played and programmed like any other
program sound. This program can also be used in Combina-
tion or Multi mode.
Samples can also be used as drum samples in a drum kit.

Sampling (recording a sample) is performed using the
[F4] ("REC") and [F5] ("START/STOP") keys in each
page in the Sampling mode.1.1: Recording of the Sam-
pling mode (For details on sampling procedure, refer to
BG p.68.)
In any page, the selected multisample or sample will
sound when you play the keyboard of a connected
MIDI instrument, letting you hear the results of your
editing in that page.

When you turn off the power, all multisample and sam-
ple data in Sampling mode will be lost. Before you turn
off the power, be sure to save important data to floppy
disk or external SCSI device ( BG p.40). If a separately
sold EXB-SCSI option is installed, data can be saved on
an external SCSI device. Immediately after the power is
turned on, memory will contain no multisamples or
samples, so you will first need to load previously-saved
data from a floppy disk or external SCSI device before
you can playback or edit it.
There is no Compare function that allows you to restore
edited data to the state before it was edited. If you wish
to preserve the unedited state of the data, use "Copy
MS" or "Copy SMPL" (1.1–3g) etc. to make a copy of
the multisample or sample before you begin editing.
For some of the utility menu commands in 2.1: Sample
Edit or 3.1: Loop Edit, executing the command without
checking "Overwrite" in the dialog box allows you to
save the unedited sample data while you edit. ( 2.1–
2e: UTILITY "About Overwrite")
When executing a sample edit operation or when you
finish recording a stereo sample, you may hear a slight
noise. This does not affect the audio data that has been
edited or sampled.
Cautions regarding sample data
• The sample data memory areas Bank 1–6 each contain
16 MB. Of this 16 MB (8,388,608 samples), sixteen
samples (the first and last eight samples) are used as
internal work area.
• The first and last samples of each sample are used as
internal work area. These two samples are added
automatically when a sample is recorded or when an
.AIFF or .WAVE file is loaded. This means that if you
record a sample of one second, this will result in
48,000 samples of data, but four samples will be added
to this, so that sampling memory will actually contain
48,004 samples of data.
How the [Audition] key will function in Sampling mode
2.1: Sample Edit, Edit2 page
The sample will be played in one-shot mode in the range
between "S (Edit Range Start)" and "E (Edit Range End)" as
long as you hold down the [AUDITION] key. The sample
will sound at the pitch of the currently selected key (the key
displayed in gray in "Keyboard & Index": 1.1–1a).
Pages other than the above
The sample of the currently selected "Index" will be played
at the pitch of the currently selected key (the key displayed
in gray in "Keyboard & Index": 1.1–1a) as long as you hold
down the [AUDITION] key.
Time Slice and Time Stretch dialog boxes
In the Slice Sample dialog box of Utility "Time Slice" (3.1–
2e) and in the Stretch Sample dialog box of Utility "Time
Stretch" (3.1–2e), the sample of the currently selected
"Index" will be played at the original key as long as you
hold down the [AUDITION] key.
