Korg music workstation, sampler manual Sampling and looping a drum phrase

The converted program settings will automatically be stored in the internal memory, but the sample data you created will be lost when the power is turned off. In order to reproduce the sound of the program after the power is turned on again, you must first load the previ- ously-saved sample data back into the TRITON STU- DIO, using the Disk mode. When loading, it is best to set “.KSC Allocation” to Clear.

When saving, it is a good idea to execute “Save All” (☞PG p.166) to save the samples and multisamples along with the converted program, and then load all of this data together. (☞PG p.157, 162)

Sampling and looping a drum phrase

Here’s how you can sample a drum phrase (or similar phrase) from an audio CD, and loop the playback.

You will need to provide a drum rhythm loop sample. Ini- tially, it is a good idea to begin with a rhythm loop sample that has a fairly simple beat.

As an example, we will sample one measure of a 140 BPM drum phrase in a 4/4 time signature. In this example we will use a CD player. For details on how you can digitally sample or “rip” from the CDRW-1 option or from a SCSI- connected CD-ROM or CD-R/RW, refer to p.108.

This explanation assumes that you are starting from the default state immediately after power-on.

1.Connect your external audio device and adjust the input settings (Input)

1Connect the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 jacks on the rear panel to the LINE OUT L and R jacks of your CD player.

Set the AUDIO INPUT [MIC/LINE] switch to the LINE position, and set the [LEVEL] knob near the center.

		CD player
R	AUX OUT	L

If the CDRW-1 option is installed, the analog audio will be internally connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.

You can also “rip” digital audio data via the CDRW-1 option or a SCSI-connected CD-R/RW. (☞p.108)

2Press the [SAMPLING] key to enter Sampling mode.

3Press the Input Setup tab to select the P0: Recording, Input/Setup page.

4Set the various parameters so that the signal from the AUDIO INPUT jacks will be input to the TRITON STUDIO.
