MIDI transmission and reception for
the pad sampler function
Program mode
Data is transmitted and received on the MIDI channel
specified by the Global/Media mode G-MIDI>OUT page
setting Pad Sampler Prog MIDI Ch (default setting: ch.15).
MIDI data transmission is enabled if the Pad Sampler Prog
MIDI Out setting is checked. By default, this is off
(unchecked).
Combination mode
If in the PROG page you turn "SMP" on, the program
assigned to timbre 15 is disabled (will not sound), and
instead the pad sampler on/off events are transmitted and
received on the MIDI channel that is assigned to timbre 15.
If the MIDI timbre's Status (COMBI > PROG) is EXT or
EX2, note data is transmitted.
Note: It is not possible to change the timbre used for the pad
sampler to any setting other than 15.
Sequencer mode
If in the MAIN or PROG page you turn "SMP" on, the
program assigned to track 15 is disabled (will not sound),
and instead the pad sampler on/off events are transmitted and
received on the MIDI channel that is assigned to track 15.
This lets you record and play back on the track. If the track's
Status (SEQ>PROG) is BTH, EXT, or EX2, note data is
transmitted.
Note: It is not possible to change the track used for the pad
sampler to any setting other than 15.
Using samples in other ways
Samples recorded on the KROSS can also be used in other
ways as well as playing them back from the pads.
Here are some possibilities.
• Use for recordings in Sequencer mode
Pad playback (on/off) data can be recorded as note data in
Sequencer mode. (“Recording your pad sampler
performance” on page 62)
• Play samples as programs
A bank (session) of recorded samples can be converted to
a program and played on the keyboard or processed by
the KROSS's effects. (“Convert Current Bank to
Program” on page 207 of the Parameter Guide)
Exporting a sample
Using the "Export to KSC" function or "Export to WAV"
function, a sample that you recorded with the pad sampler
can be exported as a .KSC file or as a sample file in WAVE
format. When you execute these functions, a .KSC file or
WAVE file is created in the SD card's KORG/KROSS2/
DATA folder.
.KSC file:
The data is exported as a Korg-format PCM data file, with a
multisample and sample file for each bank. This data can be
loaded into a sampling-capable model such as the KRONOS
series, OASYS, M3, or TRITON series, and played.
WAVE file:
The data is exported as a .WAV format sample file. A
computer application that supports WAVE format can load
this data, allowing you to use samples that were recorded on
the KROSS.
• File format: WAVE format uncompressed linear PCM
• Sampling bit depth: 16-bit
• Sampling frequency: 48 kHz
