Sample Waveform Editing - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

Sampling (Open Sampling System)

Sample waveform editing

In the P1: Sample Edit screen you can do the following
things.
• You can set the Edit Range Start and End while
watching the waveform. You can use functions
such as Zoom In/Out, Use Zero, and Grid to edit
the waveform efficiently.
• You can edit the sample waveform using a variety
of commands such as cut, copy, mix, insert,
normalize, volume ramp, and reverse.
• A Rate Convert function lets you lower the
sampling frequency of the sample data in a range of
2/3 to 1/6, producing "down‐sampled" effects.
• The Link function (Link: with crossfade) lets you
connect two samples into one. When doing so, you
can apply a crossfade so that the sustained portion
of the samples will change gradually to create a
natural transition between the two samples.
1. Select the sample that you wish to edit.
Use Sample Select or Index in the P1: Sample Edit
page or the P0: Recording, Recording page to select
the sample.
If you use Sample Select to select the sample, be
aware that the index assignment will also change.
2. Select the P1: Sample Edit page.
The waveform data of the currently selected sample
will be displayed.
Sample waveforms recorded with Sampling Mode
set to Stereo will be shown in two lines. The upper
line is the Left channel waveform, and the lower line
is the Right channel waveform.
3. Use "Edit Range Start" and "End" to specify the
range that you wish to edit.
The selected range will be highlighted.

If you want to audition the selected region, press the
Play button in the LCD or the SAMPLING
START/STOP switch. The selected region will play
at the pitch of the base key (the blue key in the
keyboard display). You can specify the base key by
holding down the ENTER switch and playing a note
on the keyboard.
When you play a key to which the sample is
assigned (the highlighted range of the keyboard
displayed in "Keyboard & Pad"), the sample will be
played back according to its loop settings.
The procedure for using the ZOOM and "Use Zero"
check boxes is the same as for P2: Loop Edit.
4. From the list of page menu, select the desired
editing command. Make the appropriate settings
in the dialog box, and press the OK button to
execute.
For details on the many sample editing features, see
"Sampling: Page Menu Commands" on page 726 of
the Parameter Guide.
