Korg sampler manual Specify the recording method Recording, Record the sample, Make loop settings

Set the following parameters as shown. Input 1: “Level” 127, “Pan” L000, “BUS” L/R Input 2: “Level” 127, “Pan” R127, “BUS” L/R

When you change the Bus setting from Off to L/R or IFX, the volume level of the AUDIO OUT L/MONO and R jacks or the headphone volume may rise abruptly. Please use caution.

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

1Play back the audio source that you want to record.

If the display indicates “ADC OVERLOAD !!” (AD converter input overload!), lower the level by turning the rear panel [LEVEL] knob to an appropriate posi- tion. Alternatively, lower the level of the output source.

The best audio quality will be obtained at a level slightly lower than when the “ADC OVERLOAD !!” indication appears (i.e., the highest level that does not cause an input overload).

2Press the SAMPLING [REC] key.

The level meter allows you to check the volume of the input.

If the display indicates “CLIP!!,” use the VALUE con- troller to lower the “Recording Level” slider (located in the right of the display) from the +0.0 position to an appropriate level.

3When you have finished making adjustments, once again press the SAMPLING [REC] key. Also stop the playback of your audio source.

3. Specify the recording method (Recording)

1Set “Source BUS” to L/R.

This setting lets you sample the sound of the L/R chan- nels; i.e., the sound that is output from the headphones and the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R jacks.

2Set “Trigger” to Sampling START SW.

With this setting, you can press the SAMPLING [REC] key to enter record-ready mode, and then press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key to start recording.

4.Settings for the sample that will be recorded (REC Sample Setup)

1Press the Recording to access the P0: Recording, Recording page.

2Set “Save to” to RAM.

The recorded sample will be written into sample mem- ory (RAM). (☞For details on the DISK setting, refer to p.105)

3Set “Sample Mode” to Stereo.

With this setting, the sound of the internal LR channels can be sampled in stereo.

5. Record the sample

1Press the SAMPLING [REC] key to enter record- ready mode.

2At the moment that you wish to start sampling, press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key.

Sampling will start.

It is a good idea to allow a bit of extra time before you start and after you stop sampling.

3At the moment that you wish to stop sampling, press the SAMPLING [START/STOP] key.

Sampling will stop.

A 140 BPM drum phrase has now been sampled. The sample will automatically be assigned to “Sample (Sample select).”

Sampling will stop automatically if the remaining amount of memory reaches zero.

4Listen to the sampled sound, and assign a name to the sample.

You can play the “OrigKey” note to hear the sound that was sampled.

After you have verified the sound, assign a name to the sample (☞p.40) (e.g., LOOP1-140 BPM). Up to 14 char- acters can be input as the name of a stereo sample (the two characters -L and -R at the end are fixed). When you assign a name to either the L or R channel, the other sample will be named automatically.

6. Make loop settings

Next we will delete unwanted portions from the sample, and adjust the settings so that the sample will be looped smoothly.

By default when the power is turned on, sampled sounds will be looped automatically. (P0: Recording, Preference page “Auto Loop On” On)
