Playing A Pattern; Recording Additional Material Into The Pattern That's Playing; Editing A Pattern - Korg microSAMPLER Owner's Manual

microSAMPLER
LENGTH .............................................................................................[01...99]
This specifies the length of the pattern to be recorded, in units of measures.
KB.MD.SMPL (Keyboard Mode Sample No.) ........................ [SMPL 01...36]
For each pattern, this specifies the sample number that will be played in
Keyboard mode.
QUANTIZE .....................................................["OFF," 8, 8 TRI, 16, 16TRI, 32]
When you record a pattern by playing the keyboard, it is sometimes difficult
to avoid inaccuracies in your timing. The quantize function automatically
corrects these inaccuracies, making the timing perfect. By specifying the
desired quantize value, you can make the notes line up with precise 8th note
or 16th note timing intervals.
Parameter value
"OFF" Quantization will not be applied
8 Timing will be adjusted to 8th notes
8 TRI Timing will be adjusted to 8th note triplets
16 Timing will be adjusted to 16th notes
16 TRI Timing will be adjusted to 16th note triplets
32 Timing will be adjusted to 32nd notes

Using the mute function
