Korg music workstation/sampler

In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, you

can set this parameter using the Sampling page menu

command “Select Bank & Smpl. No.”.

MEDIA: The sample will be written to the media.

If you select MEDIA, you can also select the writing-

destination drive.

In all modes, this is speciﬁed by the page menu com-

mand “Select Directory.”

In the “Media Select” ﬁeld, select the drive. Use the

Open and Up buttons to move between levels of the

directory hierarchy to select the desired directory. Press

the Done button to ﬁnalize the settings.

If you sampled to the media as a WAVE ﬁle, the

“Auto +12 dB On” setting will be ignored. The play-

back level of the WAVE ﬁle is set by “WAVE File Play

Level” (☞PG p.158).

2In “Sample Time,” specify the length of time that you

want to sample.

This can be set in units of minutes and seconds.

If you are sampling to RAM (sample memory), you

can sample a maximum of approximately 2 minutes 54

seconds in mono, or approximately 1 minute 27 sec-

onds in stereo.

If you are sampling to MEDIA, you can sample a max-

imum of 80 minutes in either mono or stereo (mono:

approximately 440 Mbytes, stereo: approximately 879

Mbytes).

3Set “Sample Mode” to specify whether a mono or a

stereo ﬁle will be created.

L-Mono: The sound of the internal L channel will be

sampled in mono.

R-Mono: The sound of the internal R channel will be

sampled in mono.

Stereo: The sound of the internal L and R channels will

be sampled in stereo.

The recording level and “Auto +12 dB On”

When you resample the playback of a song, or your key-

board performance using a program, combination, or

sample, or if you mix your performance with an external

audio source and sample the result, you should normally

set “Recording Level” to –12.0 (dB). If you resample at

–12.0 (dB), the sample data will be recorded at the opti-

mum level, but the playback level will be lower than the

level during sampling (if “+12 dB” is off). In such cases,

you can check “Auto +12 dB On” when you resample, so

that “+12 dB” (Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will auto-

matically be turned on, and the recorded sample will play

back at the same level at during resampling.

When you sample an external audio source, you should

normally set “Recording Level” to +0.0 (dB). The sample

data will be recorded at the optimum level. If you sample

with “Auto +12 dB On” turned off at this time, “+12 dB”

(Sampling mode Loop Edit page) will be off, and the sam-

ple will play back at the same level at which it was sam-

pled.

When the power is turned on, “Recording Level” and

“Auto +12 dB On” will default to the following settings.

Program, Combination, Sequencer modes

“Recording Level”: –12.0 (dB), “Auto +12 dB On”: on

Sampling mode

“Recording Level”: +0.0 (dB), “Auto +12 dB On”: off

These settings assume that you will mainly be resampling

in Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes (listed

above), and performing conventional sampling in Sam-

pling mode (listed below).

Optimizing the sample memory (RAM)

If RAM has been speciﬁed as the destination to which

data will be written during sampling, you can specify that

sample memory (RAM) be automatically optimized after

the data is written. When optimization is performed,

unused areas that are occupying memory space will be

reorganized to increase the available free space. In the

Global mode P0: Basic Setup, Input/Sampling page, you

can check “Auto Optimize RAM” so that RAM will auto-

matically be optimized when sampling ends. In this case,

you will always be able to sample without any wasted

RAM area, but the sound will stop for a time when sam-

pling ends. If a song is being played back in Sequencer

mode, the playback will stop.

If you are playing back a song, or if you are repeatedly

recording multiple samples in various locations while lis-

tening to audio input from a CD etc., you can sample with

“Auto Optimize RAM” unchecked, and then execute the

page menu command “Optimize RAM” (found in the

Sampling page of Program, Combination, or Sequencer

modes, and in P0–P4 of Sampling mode) to optimize the

RAM when the remaining amount of memory begins to

decrease. The remaining amount of sample memory

(RAM) can be checked in Sampling mode P0: Memory

Status.
