Korg music workstation/sampler

The Create button has the same function as the Create

button in P0: Recording (“Creating multisample

indexes and sampling” ☞p.69).

Modifying the settings of an index

1Make the settings described in steps 1–3 of “Edit-

ing the indexes.”

2Set parameters for the selected index.

(☞PG p.135)

• Changing the “Top Key” will change the upper limit

of the zone. Simultaneously, the lower limit of the

next-numbered index will also change.

• If you check “Constant Pitch,” all notes in the index

zone will sound the sample at its original pitch.

•“Pitch” adjusts the sample pitch for each index. You

can use the “Pitch BPM Adjust” page menu command

to set the loop interval to a desired BPM value (☞PG

p.136).

Converting a multisample to a program

In pages P0: Recording–P4: Controller Setup, you can

select and execute the “Convert MS To Program” page

menu command. When you execute this command, the

settings of the currently selected multisample will be con-

verted into a program. In Program mode you can make ﬁl-

ter, amp and effect settings etc., and play the sample as a

program. The resulting program can be used in a combi-

nation or song.

For details on the “Convert MS To Program” page menu

command (☞PG p.110).

● Using samples in a drum kit

A sample you created in Sampling mode can be used as

one of the instruments in a drum kit. In the Global P5:

Drum Kit, Sample Setup page and Low Sample page, set

“Drumsample Bank” to RAM, and use “Drumsample” to

select the sample that you created.

Using Time Slice to divide a sample, and

playing it in Sequencer mode

Time Slice is a function that detects the attack of the kick

or snare etc. in a rhythm loop sample (a sample consisting

of a looped pattern of drums etc.), and automatically

divides it into separate instrumental sounds. Each of the

divided instrumental sounds is made into a sample of its

own, and then automatically expanded into a multisam-

ple and program. Pattern playback data for the Sequencer

mode using the divided samples is also created automati-

cally.

The time-slices sample can be used in the following ways

by the song of Sequencer mode.

• Multiple rhythm loop samples of differing tempo can

be matched to the same tempo without changing their

pitch.

• You can change the tempo in realtime without

affecting the pitch.

As an example, we will describe how a rhythm loop sam-

ple can be time-sliced in Sampling mode, and then how

the rhythm loop sample can be played in Sequencer

mode.

You will need to provide rhythm loop samples of drums

etc. You can either record these on the TRITON Extreme,

or load them in Media mode. Initially, you should try this

using a one-measure pattern in 4/4 time with a fairly sim-

ple beat, and record the pattern as a mono rhythm loop

sample.

For this example, we will use a 120 BPM rhythm loop

sample.

1Select “Sample Select” 120 BPM rhythm loop sample.

Play back the sample, and verify that the beats that

you want to loop are played cleanly. If they are not

played cleanly, make the appropriate settings for the

start address “Start” and end address “End,” and exe-

cute the page menu command “Truncate” (☞p.74,

76).

2Access the P2: Loop Edit page.

3Select the page menu command “Time Slice.”

The Set Sample Tempo dialog box will appear.

4Specify the number of quarter-note beats in the sam-

ple, and its tempo.

If you know the BPM, set “Source BPM.”

If you do not know the BPM, set “Beat” and the BPM

will be calculated automatically. Since in this example

we know the beat, set “Source BPM” to 120.
