Sample (Sound Programs) - Korg Pa50 User Manual

Oscillators
Use this parameter to specify the basic Program type;
whether it will use one or more oscillators (up to four).
Drum Programs use only one oscillator.
1...4 Number of oscillators the Program will use.
The total amount of polyphony varies depend-
ing on the number of oscillators used by the
Program (a maximum of 62 with only 1 oscil-
lator, or a maximum of 15 with 4 oscillators).
Mode
This is the polyphonic mode of the Program.
Poly The Program will play polyphonically, allow-
ing you play chords.
Mono The Program will play monophonically, pro-
ducing only one note at a time.
Single Trigger
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set
to Poly.
Yes When the same note is played repeatedly, the
previous note will be silenced before the next
note is sounded, so that the notes do not over-
lap.
No When the same note is played repeatedly, the
previous note will not be silenced before the
next note is sounded.
Legato
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set
to Mono.
Yes Legato is on. When multiple note-on's occur,
the first note-on will retrigger the sound, and
the second and subsequent note-on's will not
retrigger.
When legato is on, multiple note-on's will not
retrigger the voice. If one note is already on
and another note is turned on, the first voice
will continue sounding. The oscillator sound,
envelope, and LFO will not be reset, and only
the pitch of the oscillator will be updated. This
setting is effective for wind instrument sounds
and analog synth-type sounds.
No Legato is off. Notes will always be retriggered
when note-on occurs.
When legato is off, multiple note-on's will
retrigger the voice at each note-on. The oscilla-
tor sound, envelope, and LFO will be reset
(and retriggered) according to the settings of
the Program.
Note: If "Legato" is On, certain multisamples or keyboard loca-
tions may produce an incorrect pitch.
Priority
This parameter is available when the "Mode" parameter is set
to Mono. It specifies which note will be given priority to play
when two or more notes are played simultaneously.
Low Lowest note will take priority.
High Highest note will take priority.
Last Last note will take priority.

PAGE 2 - SAMPLE (SOUND PROGRAMS)
The multisample(s) (waveform) on which the Program will
be based can be selected here for each of the four oscillators.
Each oscillator can use 1 or 2 multisamples, each one
assigned to the High or Low layer.
Samples
Selected:
MS Hi Bank/Num:
L>AcousticPiano
[H] Reverse:
The internal Flash-ROM contains 340 different multisamples
(preset multisamples).
Selected
Use this parameter to select an oscillator to put in edit. Alter-
natively, you can select oscillators using the F1-F4 buttons.
MS Hi/Lo Bank/Num
Use these parameters to select a different multisample for
each of the High and Low layers. You can use velocity to
switch between the two multisamples. Reverse, Offset and
Level can be adjusted independently for the High and Low
multisamples.
The first line shows the bank (ROM), while the second line is
for selecting the multisample. The Program number appears
at the end of the second line.
The multisample you select for the High layer will be trig-
gered by velocities higher than the value of the "Velocity
Switch" parameter (see page 14-108). If you do not wish to
use velocity switching, set the switch to a value of 001, and
select only the High multisample.
Note: Each multisample has an upper limit, and may not pro-
duce sound when played above that limit.
[H/L] Reverse
The multisample will be played in reverse. In the case of
Flash-ROM multisamples that were originally specified to
loop, the multisample will be played back in "one-shot"
reverse mode. If the multisample was originally set to reverse,
it will playback without change.
Yes The multisample will playback in reverse.
No The multisample will play back normally.
[H/L] Use Offset
These parameters specify the point where the multisample(s)
will begin to play. For some multisamples this parameter will
not be available.
Yes The sound will begin from the offset location
pre-determined for each multisample.
No The sound will start from the beginning of the
multisample waveform.
[H/L] Level
These parameters specify the level of each multisample.
0...127 Multisample level.
Note: Depending on the multisample, high settings of this
parameter may cause the sound to distort when a chord is
played. If this occurs, lower the level.
