Sampling mode
Write Sample dialog box
Reference
Choose MultiSample to choose a single Multisample (i.e.,
SF2 Instruments); touch the Multisample number and dial
in the corresponding number.
Choose Complete bank to import all the Multisamples
from the selected bank.
Check Override Sample Names if you want to assign the
Sample names a progressive number. In this case, when
importing a Multisample whose name is, for example,
“Piano”, you will have all Samples renamed as “Piano_001”,
“Piano_002”, and so on.
Hint: If you get a messages warning there isn’t enough mem-
ory to load all Samples or resources, return to the main Sam-
pling page and choose the Delete command to clean the
Sample memory, then retry. Please note that importing single
Multisamples is the safest way to avoid filling the memory
with unnecessary data.
Imported Sounds and Multisamples are automatically stored in
the internal memory, and will not be lost when turning the
instrument off.
Note: While Pa900 and Triton share most of their internal Multi-
samples, some of them may differ. While reading a PCG file, Pa900
tries to use exactly the same Multisamples as in Triton. If this is
not possible, it looks for a similar Multisample. If this too is not
possible, an <empty> Multisample will be selected. Enter the
Sound mode, and select a Multisample suitable for the imported
Program.
Note: Not all Triton’s PCG data are imported. Insert FX, EQ,
Arpeggio, Combi, Global and Drum Kit data are not loaded.
Note: You cannot import Drum Kits.
Note: Multisample may contain various Samples. They are
assigned to the same keys as in the original file.
Hint: When importing a KMP file, take note of the selected Multi-
sample name; you will need it in Sound mode, when assigning the
Multisample to a new Sound.
Hint: While in this window, you can use the Search function,
allowing for searching a Sample file in the various media.

Depending on wheter you are in the “Sample Edit / Sample

mats (WAVE and AIFF), or a multisample in a Korg “.KMP” file.
