Korg music workstation, sampler manual 108, Ripping digital data from an audio CD as a sample

In “Sample Select,” assign the sample that you will resample, and set “Resample” to Manual. Set “Trig- ger” to Note On, and set “Sample Mode” to Stereo as desired. Then set the bus and effect as described in steps 3 and 4, press the SAMPLING [REC] and then the [START/STOP] key, and then press the C2 key to start resampling. When you want to stop resampling, press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key.

Ripping

Digital data from an audio CD inserted in the CDRW-1 option or a SCSI-connected CD-ROM or CD-R/RW drive can be sampled in the digital domain. This process is known as “ripping.”

You can either read the audio CD playback from the AUDIO INPUT as analog audio, or directly read it as digi- tal data.

In order to perform this operation, you must either install the CDRW-1 option, or connect an external CD-ROM or CD-R/RW drive to the SCSI connector. For details on installing the CDRW-1, refer to PG p.286. For details on SCSI connections, refer to PG p.298. If you are using a SCSI-connected CD-ROM or CD-R/RW drive, use audio cables to connect the audio outputs of the drive to the TRITON STUDIO’s AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2.

Ripping digital data from an audio CD as a sample

Here’s how digital data from an audio CD track can be captured as a sample.

1Insert an audio CD into the CDRW-1 option or a SCSI-connected CD-ROM or CD-R/RW drive.

2In the Sampling mode P0: Recording, Input/Setup page, make Input settings so that you can monitor the audio that you want to rip.

“Input”: Analog

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

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

Ripping will not be affected by these inputs.

3Access the Sampling mode P5: Audio CD, Ripping page.

4In “Drive” (drive select), select the drive that contains the audio CD, and use “Track” to select the track that you want to rip.

Raise the “Volume.”

5Press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to play back the audio CD track.

6During playback, press the [ENTER] key at the points where you want ripping to begin and end.

This will set “Range Start” and “Range End.”

If you press the [ENTER] key three or more times, “Range Start” and “Range End” will respectively be set to the next-to-last point at which you pressed the key, and the last point at which you pressed the key.

The method described above is used when the cursor is located at other than “Range Start” or “Range End.”

If the cursor is located at “Range Start” or “Range End,” that setting will be re-set each time you press the [ENTER] key.

If the cursor is located at “Range Start” or “Range End,” this region will be played back.

When you finish making settings, press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key to stop playback of the audio CD.

7Verify the region that will be ripped.

Select either “Region Start” or “Region End” (the dis- play will be highlighted), and press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key. The CD will play from “Range Start” to “Range End” and then stop.

If you want to adjust the location, use the VALUE controllers to modify the “Range Start” or “Range End” settings, or move the cursor to a parameter other than “Range Start” and “Range End” and repeat step 5 to make the setting once again.

If you want to move the track playback start location to the beginning of the track, press the [LOCATE] key.

8When you have finished setting “Range Start” and “Range End,” select the page menu command “Desti- nation.”

A dialog box will appear.

Specify the destination to which the ripped sample will be written.

Select RAM if you want to rip the sample into sample memory (RAM). In this case, you can also set Sample No. (L), (R) to specify the sample number that will be written. Normally you can leave this unchanged.
