Merging PCM samples from various sources
Merging PCM samples from various
sources
When you load a .SET folder, all PCM samples in memory are
deleted. So, there is no way to merge different samples by load-
ing complete .SET folders.
To merge samples from several sources, you must load single
Sounds or Drum Kits based on external PCM samples.
Delete all samples and multisamples
1. If you want to delete all samples and multisamples already
in memory, press the SOUND button to access the Sound
mode, then press the RECORD button to access the Sam-
pling mode.
2. While in Sampling mode, choose the “Delete Sample” com-
mand from the page menu. Check the “All Samples, Multi-
Sample, DrumSamples” option, and touch OK to delete all
samples and multisamples.
Warning: Before deleting, be sure to have a copy of any
important data you don’t want to lose.
3. Choose the “Exit from Record” command from the page
menu, to exit from the Sampling mode.
Create a new .SET of samples
1. Press the MEDIA button to access the Media mode. Go to
the Load page.
2. Open a first .SET folder containing some of the PCM sam-
ples to merge. Open the SOUND folder, then one of the
USER banks, and choose the first of the Sounds or Drum
Kits based on samples you would like to load. Touch Load,
and choose a target User location in memory.
The Sound or Drum Kit is loaded, together with the PCM
samples it is based on.
3. Do the same with any subsequent Sound or Drum Kit
whose samples you would like to load.
4. When finished loading, save a new .SET folder, being sure
the PCM option is checked in the Save All dialog (see “Sav-
ing the full memory content” on page 257, or “Saving all
data of a specified type” on page 257).
Bonus software
With Pa2X, three “.SET” folders are supplied with the Accessory
CD, with the whole content of Korg’s “Real Drums” and “Turk-
ish/Arabic World” collections, originally available as separate
cards for the Korg Pa80.
These are high quality sound sets, based on additional PCM
Samples. Go to www
.korgpa.com for more information.
To load these sounds, first copy either the REALDRUM.SET or
TA_WORLD.SET folder to the SSD-U or internal hard disk
using the USB connection, then load them to memory. By load-
ing the BONUS_SW.SET folder, you can load both collections at
once.
Warning: When loading the above folders, all User data in mem-
ory is deleted. Save important data, before loading the bonus soft-
ware.
Note: After turning the instrument off, all samples are deleted from
the RAM memory. You can either have them automatically
reloaded when turning the instrument on again (see “PCM Auto-
load” on page 264), or manually load them (see “Load PCM but-
ton” on page 264).
