3. Go to Program Mode, and select a Program which
uses the KSC’s samples.
4. If it’s an HD-1 Program, go to the P2: OSC/Pitch
page; for STR-1 or MOD-7 Programs, go to the PCM
Osc page.
5. Open the menu, and select the Remap/MS Sample
Banks command.
The Remap/MS Sample Banks dialog appears.
6. Set the “In” parameter appropriately.
If all of the loaded sounds use just this one KSC, select All
Programs, Wave Sequences, and Drum Kits.
If one entire bank uses just this KSC, but other banks use
different KSCs, select the appropriate bank.
If sounds within a single bank use multiple KSCs, select the
Current Program option. For instance, some users keep all
sample-related Programs in Bank USER-G, but Program 000
uses Friday.KSC, Program 001 uses Saturday.KSC, and so
on. The Current Program option lets you deal with each
Program individually. There are similar commands for
individual Wave Sequences and Drum Kits.
7. Set the “From” parameter to Smp: Old RAM.
8. Set the “To” parameter to Smp:[file name], matching
the new name for the KSC.
This is the name you created in step 8 under “Saving User
Sample Banks” on page 170.
9. Press OK.
All references to the old RAM bank will be changed to use
the new User Sample Bank.
10.If you used the “Current Program” option, make sure
to Write the Program before proceeding, and then
repeat any other individual remappings as necessary.
11.Save a PCG file with the newly converted Program,
Wave Sequence, and Drum Kit data.
User Sample Bank IDs and limitations
User Sample Bank IDs
Under the hood, the KRONOS keeps track of User Sample
Banks by a special ID saved in the KSC file. This lets the
system find and recognize the User Sample Bank if you
change the name or location on the disk, and even if it’s used
on another KRONOS altogether.
An ID is initially assigned when the samples are created in
Sampling Mode. This ID stays with the data as long as you
load and save using KSCs—even if you save to a different
location, or with a different name. It also stays with the data
regardless of whether it’s loaded as a User Sample Bank, or
loaded into Sampling Mode for editing.
It will not be preserved, however, if you load or save
individual Samples or Multisamples.
If there are multiple files on internal disks with the same ID,
the one with the most recent modification date one will be
used. KSCs on USB storage devices are ignored for this
purpose.
When you look at the bank name in Programs, Drum Kits,
and Wave Sequences, you’ll see the full file path of the
associated KSC file.
What triggers a change to the User Sample Bank
ID?
Sampling Mode is given a new ID under the following
circumstances:
• At system startup
• If the Clear Sampling Mode Data option is used when
loading a KSC which does not include Sampling Mode
data.
• When the Global Sample Management page’s Unload
all in bank command is used for Sampling Mode Data
• When the Global KSC Auto Load page’s Do Auto-load
Now command is used (unless one of the auto-loaded
files includes Sampling Mode Data, as described below)
• On save, if Force new User Sample Bank ID is selected
(see “Force new User Sample Bank ID,” below)
Sampling Mode assumes the ID of an existing KSC under
the following circumstances:
• When a KSC with Sampling Mode data is loaded using
the Clear Sampling Mode Data or Clear All options, or
when Sampling Mode has not been used since startup
• Similar to the above, but when loading the entire folder
of Sampling Mode data when browsing within a KSC
Sampling Mode keeps its current ID under the following
circumstances:
• If Sampling Mode has been used since startup, and a
KSC is loaded into Sampling Mode with allocation set to
Append
• When individual Samples and/or Multisamples are
loaded
Force new User Sample Bank ID
This option is available in the Save Sampling Data dialog,
but not in the Save All dialog. It should be used only in
special cases.
For instance, you might use Force new User Sample Bank
ID if you have loaded a User Sample Bank, edited it
substantially, and wish to save the result as a totally new
User Sample Bank. After doing so, you’ll also need to use
the Remap MS/Sample Banks menu command to assign
Programs, Wave Sequences, or Drum Kits to use the new
bank instead of the old one.
Limitations: KARMA Wave Sequencing
and Tone Adjust
KARMA Wave Sequencing
Due to technical limitations, the Multisample and Drum
Sample banks that can be selected by the KARMA wave
sequencer are not compatible with the User Sample Bank.
The selection is limited to ROM, Sampling mode data, and
EXs.
If you need to use KARMA Wave Sequencing with your
own sample data, you must load it into Sampling Mode.
