Loading samples
You can load samples in the following formats.
Sample format Meaning
KSF KORG’s native sample format, used by the Trinity and Triton series of
workstations, as well as the Pa-Series arrangers. File names must have
the .ksf extension.
AIFF Apple Mac’s preferred format for audio. File names must have the .aif
extension.
WAVE Microsoft Windows preferred format for audio. File names must have the
.wav extension.
You can load samples (mono or stereo) 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.
If the sample exceeds the maximum size allowed (1,048,576 samples, cor-
responding to 1 Megasample, either mono or stereo), it will be truncated. A
warning will appear in the display.
Please be aware that, 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.
As an alternative to loading individual samples, you can import sounds or
multisamples and their assigned samples, as described later in this chapter.
1 While in the Sample > Edit page, choose the Load Sample command from
the page menu, to open the Load Sample window.
