If the data that is loaded as a sample contains a loop point, you can set “S.Ofs(Start Offset)” (PROG 2.1–2b, GLOBAL 5.1–1b) on the TRITON Le so that the sound will begin from the loop point.

If the end (11th and 12th characters) of the sample name is “-L” and “-R,” the “-L” and “-R” will automatically be moved to the end of the TRITON Le’s sample name (15th and 16th characters).

When you load two files whose sample names are iden- tical except for ending in “-L” and “-R,” and assign them to a stereo multisample in Sampling mode, they will be recognized as a stereo sample.

About AKAI Program files

The TRITON Le will load only the key-map related param- eters from the Program file.

AKAI format uses the concept of “key groups.” For each key zone, up to four samples can be assigned, and these four can be switched or crossfaded by velocity. Key zones can also be crossfaded.

On the TRITON Le, in contrast, there is one sample for each key zone, and you can use up to four multisamples to create a key map in the order of the velocity of each key group. It is not possible to crossfade key zones.

Example)

An AKAI format Program file “TESTPROGRAM” consists of four key groups, and each key group consists of up to three velocity zones. Key groups 1 and 2 are a layer whose low range is the same. When this is loaded into the TRITON Le, three multisamples will be created, collected by velocity zone, and the numerals 1, 2, and 3 will be appended to each multisample name. At this time, the top key will be determined by the bottom key of the sample that is assigned at the right, and if the bottom key is the same (key groups 1 and 2 in the diagram), the higher-num- bered key group will be used.

28) Load AKAI Program File:	selected icon

The selected Program file will be loaded as a multisample. When the loaded data is saved to storage media, a Program file will be saved as a .KMP file, and a Sample file will be saved as a .KSF file.

1To load the data, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel without loading, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.

The data will be loaded into the numbers that follow the last multisample or sample number currently existing in sample data RAM (i.e., that were previously sampled or loaded). In this case, only the valid program files and samples files will be loaded (Append load).

If the Sample files used by the Program file are not in the current directory or below it, a dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify the directory. Use the procedure “If the file to load cannot be found,…” (☞ p.141) to load the required Sample files.

Since overflow checking of sample data RAM is per- formed when loading each individual Sample file, it is possible that an overflow may occur in the middle of the loading process.

If a loaded multisample is assigned samples whose sample names end in “-L” and “-R,” an “-L” and “-R” will automatically be added to the end (15th and 16th characters) of the multisample name.

When you load two multisamples whose multisample names are identical except for ending in “-L” and “-R,” they will be recognized in Sampling mode as a stereo multisample.

You can load multiple files within the directory. (☞ p.145)
