Korg Electric Keyboard manual 117, 3a Create Zone Preference, Pitch 64.00...+63.00

Pitch [–64.00...+63.00]

Adjusts the playback pitch of the sample in one-cent steps.

0: The sample will sound at the original pitch when the orig- inal key is played.

–:The pitch will be lowered. At a setting of –12.00the pitch will be one octave lower.

+: The pitch will be raised. At a setting of +12.00 the pitch will be one octave higher.

You can also use “Pitch” to make fine adjustments in the length of a rhythm loop. For example with a setting of +12.00, the playback speed will be doubled, and the loop playback time will be 1/2.

(☞ PROG 2.1–2e Sample Parameter: Pitch)

The “Pitch BPM Adj.” lets you set the playback time in terms of a BPM value (☞ 4.1–2b).

Constant Pitch [Off, On]

On (checked): All notes in the zone of the index will sound at the pitch of the original key. Use this setting when you have sampled a drum sound or a rhythm loop, and want it to always playback at the original pitch.

Off (unchecked): The pitch will change in semitone steps, based on the original key. Use this setting when you have sampled a musical instrument sound etc. and would like to play it conventionally from the keyboard.

For details on how to select the desired utility function, refer to “PROG 1.1–1c: UTILITY.”

Pitch BPM Adj. (Pitch BPM Adjust)

This command sets the “Pitch” (4.1–2a) of the selected index on the basis of a BPM value. Raising the pitch of sample playback will increase the playback speed. Lowering the pitch will slow down the playback speed. This can be used to match the loop length etc. of the sample to a tempo of the desired BPM value.

1Use “SMPL” (4.1–1b) to select the sample that you wish to edit.

2From the Edit2 page “UTILITY,” choose “Pitch BPM Adj.” to open the following dialog box.

3Specify “Beat.” This is specified in quarter-note beats.

4“Current BPM” will show the BPM value at the base key (displayed in gray). This BPM value is calculated auto- matically from the start address to the end address of the sample (if looping is off) or from the loop start address to the end address (if looping is on).

For example if the start and end address of the sample are two seconds apart, the original key is specified as the base key, and “Beat” is set to 4, “Current BPM” would be

120. If “Beat” is set to 2, the display would indicate “Cur- rent BPM” as 60.

It is not possible for this display to exceed the range of 40–480.

5In “New BPM,” specify the BPM value that will result from the conversion of the “Current BPM” value.

6To execute the Pitch BPM Adjust command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key. When you execute this command, the “Pitch” (4.1–2a) value will be set automatically. For example if you mod- ify a quarter-note 120 BPM sample to 240 BPM, the “Pitch” will be set to +12.00.

This calculation is performed within the TRITON Le’s limits of precision. Minor discrepancies may occur in the final BPM caclulation.

4.1–3a: Create Zone Preference

Here you can specify the default settings for indices that are created using “CREATE” (4.1–1c, 1.1–1c). New indexes will be created according the settings you specify here. You are free to modify the settings of an index later. Also, when you execute “INSERT” (4.1–1c), the “Position” setting specified here will be used (☞ 1.1–3b).
