Korg Electric Keyboard manual 1b SMPL, Orig.K, TopK, Stereo, Keyboard & Index

This parameter can also be set in 2.1: Sample Edit–4.1: Multi- sample. The sampling and editing that you perform in these pages will apply to the index you select here.

When first entering the sample page, this value will be 001/ 001. This indicates that only one index exists. To increase the number of indexes, use “CREATE” in this page. When you press the [F6] (“CREATE”) key, indexes will automatically be added from the left-most zone, as 002/002, 003/003, ... The position, zone width, and original key location of the index that is created when you press the [F6] (“CREATE”) key can be set in “Create(Create Zone Preference)” (1.1–3b, 4.1–3a). You are also free to modify the zone width and original key location later.

Stereo

A “Stereo” indication will appear at the top right of LCD display if you have selected a stereo multisample or sample, or if you recorded a sample with “Mode (Sample Mode)” (1.1–2a) set to Stereo.

About stereo multisamples and stereo samples

Stereo multisamples: Under the following conditions, two multisamples will be handled as a stereo multisample.

•If you checked “Stereo” when creating a new multisample (i.e., selected a new multisample in “MS” 1.1–1a)

•If you executed the Utility “MS To Stereo” (1.1–3f)

•If you sampled with “Mode (Sample Mode)” (1.1–2a) set to Stereo

In these cases, a stereo multisample that meets the following conditions will be created automatically.

1.The last two characters of the two multisample names will be -L and -R respectively, and the earlier portion of the names are identical.

2.The two multisamples will have the same number of

indexes, and their zone settings are identical.

Stereo samples: Under the following condition, two sam- ples will be handled as a stereo sample.

•When the samples were recorded with a “Mode (Sample Mode)” (1.1–2a) setting of Stereo.

•If you executed the Utility “SMPL To Stereo” (1.1–3f)

In this case, a stereo sample that meets the following condi- tions will be created automatically.

1.The last two characters of the sample name will be -L and -R respectively, and the earlier portion of the names are identical.

2.Two samples that satisfy condition 1. for stereo multi- samples are selected.

Stereo multisamples and samples are distinguished internally by their multisample name or sample name. If you use Utility “Rename MS” or “Rename SMPL” (1.1–3f) etc. to modify the multisample name or sample name, please pay attention to the above conditions.

As a condition of a stereo sample, the sampling rates must be identical. You can verify the sampling rate of a sample by using the Utility “Rate Convert” (2.1–2e). Be aware that if you use Utility “Rate Convert” to convert the -L and -R samples to differing sampling rates, they will not be handled as a stereo sample.

By holding down the [ENTER] key and play a note on the keyboard, you can select the corresponding index, and the specified key will be the base key and will be shown in gray.

This shows the zones and original key locations of the cur- rently selected multisample. The white triangle indicates the C4 key. The note numbers at left and right are the range of notes displayed.

The key displayed in gray is called the base key, and functions as follows.

•In the 2.1: Sample Edit2 page, pressing the [START/ STOP] key will play the sample of the selected “Index” from “S (Edit Range Start)” to “E (Edit Range End)” in one-shot mode. At this time, the sample will sound at the pitch of the base key. In pages other than the 2.1: Sample Edit2 page, the sample of the currently selected “Index” will continue playing at the pitch of the base key as long as you hold down the [AUDITION] key.

•The grid display in 2.1: Sample Edit and the 3.1: Loop Edit Edit2 page is displayed relative to the playback pitch at the base key and the specified tempo BPM/ resolution (set in the “Grid” utility).

•The Utility “Pitch BPM Adj.” (4.1–3b) function is relative to the playback pitch of the base key.

You can use Utility “Keyboard Disp.” (1.1–3f) to change the displayed range of the keyboard.

1.1–1b: SMPL, Orig.K, TopK

Here you can set the sample, original key, and range of the selected index.

SMPL (Sample Select)

[----: ---No Assign----, 0000...3999]

Select a sample that you either sampled or that you loaded in Media mode, and play a note within the index range to play that sample.

This parameter can also be set in 2.1: Sample Edit–4.1: Multi- sample. The sampling and editing operations that you per- form in these pages will affect the sample you select here.

----:---NoAssign----:No sample is assigned to the index.

There will be no sound when you play the keyboard. To record a sample, select a vacant sample such as 0000:. When you record a sample, data will be loaded into the selected sample.

The sample name (such as NewSample_0000) will be shown beside the number. This sample name can be modified using the Utility “Rename SMPL” (1.1–3f).

You can also record a sample even when ----:---NoAssign---

-is displayed. In this case, a sample number will be selected automatically.

Even if you record to a sample that already contains data, the selected sample will not be overwritten –the data will automatically be sampled to a vacant sample number, and the newly recorded sample will replace the previous sample in the index. If you wish to delete a sample, execute the Util- ity “Delete SMPL” (1.1–3f).
