Sampling (Open Sampling System)

Saving, converting to Programs, and Comparing

Saving Samples and Multisamples
Any Samples and Multisamples that you create or edit in
SAMPLING mode must be saved in MEDIA mode, or
they'll go away when you turn off the power. This is
different from Programs and Combinations, which can be
written to memory. For more information, see "Some
types of data must be saved to disk" on page 209.
To save only the Samples and Multisamples, use the Save
Sample Data menu command on the Disk– Save page.
If you want to create an archive of the current setup,
including any Programs, Wave Sequences, or Drum Kits
which use the sample data, we recommend that you use Save
All in order to ensure that the sounds will be reproduced
correctly the next time you load them.
For more information, see "Saving to internal drive, CDs,
and USB media" on page 209.
KSC Files and User Sample Banks
KSC stands for Korg Sample Collection. KSC files are saved
to and loaded from drive; they group your Samples and
Multisamples together, and let you load them as User
Sample Banks.
User Sample Banks may be loaded either into RAM, or may
use Virtual Memory, just like EXs. They have other benefits
as well. For more information, see "Creating and saving
.KSC files" on page 180.
Converting a Multisample to a Program
In pages Recording– EQ, you can use the Convert MS To
Program page menu command. When you execute this
command, the settings of the currently selected Multisample
will be converted into a Program. In PROGRAM mode you
can make filter, amp and effect settings etc., and play the
sample as a program. The resulting Program can be used in a
combination or song.
If you want to use a Multisample created in SAMPLING
mode as a Program, go to the PROGRAM > OSC Pitch page
and select RAM Mono or RAM stereo as the Bank for
OSC1 Multisample/Wave Sequence or OSC2
Multisample/Wave Sequence Bank (when Type is set to
Multisample). In this case, the Multisample will sound
according to the settings of the program parameters.
1. Use "Multisample Select (MS)" to select the
Multisample that you want to convert to a Program.
2. Choose "Convert MS To Program" to open the dialog
box.

3. Press the text edit button to open the text edit dialog
box, and input a new program name (up to 24
characters). By default, this will be the name of the
multisample.
4. Enable or disable "Use Destination Program
Parameters" as desired.
Use Destination Program Parameters unchecked:
When you execute the command, the multisample of the
destination Program will be replaced by the multisample
you select here, and the other Program parameters will be
initialized so that it reproduces the sound heard in
SAMPLING mode.
The program will be converted with an Oscillator Mode
(Program 1–1a) of Single.
Use Destination Program Parameters checked:
When you execute the command, the multisample of the
conversion-destination program will be replaced by the
multisample you select here, but the other program
parameters will not be initialized. Choose this if you want
to use the parameter settings of an existing program.
If you check Use Destination Program Parameters,
please be aware of the following point.
The destination program's Oscillator Mode must be
Single. If this is not the case, the message "Oscillator
Mode conflicts" will appear when you attempt to execute
the command. To solve this, change the Oscillator Mode
setting of the destination Program.
5. Use the To "Program" field to specify the conversion-
destination program.
We recommend that you use banks P–T and a–t as
program banks for SAMPLING mode.
6. Press the OK button to execute.
7. Press the MODE button to go to the PROGRAM
mode, select the converted program, and try it out.
Compare
In SAMPLING mode, there is no Compare function that lets
you return to the state prior to editing.
If you want to preserve the state prior to editing, use a
function such as Copy Sample or Copy MS to copy the
multisample or sample before you begin editing. For more
information, see "Copy Sample" on page 606 of the PG, and
"Copy MS (Copy Multisample)" on page 608 of the PG.
In some of the page menu commands on the Sample Edit and
Loop Edit pages, you can execute with the Overwrite option
unchecked in the dialog box, so that the sample data prior to
editing will be preserved.
