Init Multisample
Only available in the Multisample page. Select this command to
create a new, blank multisample. Only one Zone will be avail-
able, with no sample assigned.
Load Sample
Use this command to load single samples (mono or stereo), in
KSF, AIFF or WAVE format.
War ning : By loading new samples, the sample currently in edit
will be lost if not saved. Before loading, use the Write command to
save the sample in edit, if not yet saved, to the internal memory.
The samples are loaded to the editor. Before leaving the Sam-
pling mode, use the Write command to save any unsaved sample
to the internal memory as a New Sample.
• “KSF” is Korg’s native sample format, used by the Trinity
and Triton series of workstations, as well as the Pa-series
arrangers. The file name must have the “.KSF” extension.
• “AIFF” is the Apple Mac’s preferred format for audio. The
file name must have the “.AIF” extension.
• “WAVE” is the Microsoft Windows preferred format for
audio. The file name must have the “.WAV” extension.
Note: You can only load samples in a 8 or 16-bit resolution, and a
sampling frequency rate from 11,025 to 48,000Hz. Loaded samples
always preserve their original resolution.
Note: If the sample exceeds the maximum size allowed by the
Pa900 (1,048,576 samples, corresponding to 1 Megasample, either
mono or stereo), it will be truncated. A warning will appear in the
display.
Hint: While in this window, you can use the Search function,
allowing for searching a Sample file in the various media.
Import
Use the Import command to import Sounds and Multisamples
(including the contained Samples) in formats other than the
native Pa-Series format.
With this command, you can import the following formats:
• “PCG” is Korg’s native Program format, used by the Triton
series of workstations. The file name has the “.PCG” exten-
sion. Note that Drum Kits cannot be imported.
When importing a PCG file, you can choose between a sin-
gle Program or a whole bank:
Choose Program to choose a single Program (correspond-
ing to a Pa-Series Sound); touch the Program number and
dial in the corresponding number. Choose a target Sound
location where to load the imported Program.
Choose Bank to import all the Programs from the selected
bank. Touch the Sound Bank name to choose a target bank
where to load the imported Programs.
• “KMP” is Korg’s native multisample format, used by the
Trinity and Triton series of workstations. The file name has
the “.KMP” extension.
• “SF2” is a sound bank format by Creative Labs. The file
name has the “.SF2” extension. Multisample data are
imported. Due to the deep differences with Korg’s own fomat,
some Instruments from the SF2 file could not be imported
(for example, Instruments with overlapping zones).
When importing an SF2 file, you can choose between a sin-
gle Multisample or the whole bank:
