Korg sampler manual Setting the recording level Recording Level dB, 103, Functions, Basic

If “Input” is set to S/P DIF or mLAN, an “Obey Copyright Rules” dialog box will appear. Carefully read “About copyright” (☞p.iii), and if you accept the terms, press the OK button to continue with set- tings. If you do not accept the terms, press the Cancel button to cancel the setting.

If you want to sample analog audio from an audio CD inserted in the CDRW-1 option, set “Input” to Analog, and adjust the “Level” etc.

4For Input1 and Input2, set “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” to spec- ify the destination to which the external audio signal you selected in “Input” will be sent.

L/R: Send to the L/R bus.

IFX1–IFX5:Send to the corresponding insert effect.

1–4, 1/2, 3/4: Send to the INDIVIDUAL 1–4, 1/2, or 3/4 bus(es).

Use “Level” to adjust the signal level. Normally you will set this to 127. Use “Pan” to specify the stereo position.

In the Input section (COMBI, PROG, SEQ, S.PLAY, DISK) you can specify the send levels “Send1 (MFX1)” and “Send2 (MFX2)” to master effects 1 and 2.

These settings can be made if “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” is L/ R or Off.

“Send1 (MFX1)” and “Send2 (MFX2)” cannot be set in Sampling mode.

•The input from the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack is set by Input1, and the input from the AUDIO INPUT 2 jack is set by Input2.

•The L channel of the input from the S/P DIF IN jack is set by Input1, and the R channel is set by Input2.

•Of the input from the mLAN connector, mLAN1 is set by Input1, and mLAN2 is set by Input2.

Example:

Send the signal from the AUDIO INPUT 1 jack in mono to the L/R bus

Input1 “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” L/R, “Level” 127, “Pan” L000

Example:

Send the signal from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks in stereo to the L/R bus

Input1 “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” L/R, “Level” 127, “Pan” L000

Input2 “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” L/R, “Level” 127, “Pan” R127

When “BUS (IFX/Indiv.)” is changed from Off to L/R or IFX, please be aware that the volume level of the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks and the head- phones may rise excessively.

2.Setting the recording level (Recording Level [dB])

1Produce sound at the volume that you want to record.

If you are inputting from the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, gradually turn the [LEVEL] knob from the MIN position toward MAX. Set the level immediately below the point where the display indicates “ADC OVER- LOAD !!” (AD converter input overload).

	The best audio quality will be obtained at a level

	immediately below the point where “ADC OVER-
	LOAD !!” is displayed (i.e., the highest level that does
	not produce an overload).
2 Press the SAMPLING [REC] key.
