Pad Sampler
Performing with the pad
sampler
The pad sampler function lets you use the 16 pads on the
front panel to easily sample (record) your KROSS
performance or an external input, and perform by playing
back these samples. The maximum recording time is 14
seconds per pad, and you can play back the samples of up to
four pads simultaneously. To record a sample, select one of
the pads 1–16, and record the KROSS's performance or an
external input. When you record a sample, it is written into
the KROSS's RAM; then the data (16-bit, 48 kHz, stereo) is
automatically saved to the SD card as a Korg Format Sample
file.
A set consisting of the eight banks A–H is called a "session."
For each session, you can load the sample data for 16 pads,
and switch between banks while you perform.
Note: The KROSS's effects cannot be applied to the
playback of the pad sampler.
Note: We recommend that you use an SD card. If a card is
not inserted, demo samples are loaded into bank A; you will
be able to perform.
Recording samples (sampling)
Getting ready to record samples
Before you record, insert an SD card formatted by the
KROSS into the SD card slot. If an SD card is not
inserted; you will be able to record, but the recorded
content is lost when you turn off the power.
Note: When you use an SD card with the KROSS for the
first time, the folder KORG/KROSS2/SAMPLER is created
automatically, and settings are made to prepare the card for
use.
Note: If you insert an SD card that was previously used with
the KROSS, the sample set of Session 001 bank A saved on
the SD card is automatically loaded into the KROSS.
Sampling the sound of the KROSS
Here's how to sample the sound of your performance in
Program mode or Combination mode, a sequencer song, or
audio processed by the vocoder.
1. In Program mode etc., select the sound that you want
to sample.(→ p.27, → p.45)
2. Press the EXIT button ( ) and the SAMPLER
ACTIVE button ( ) to access the SAMPLER
SETUP window.
3. Either press the pad to which you want to assign the
sample, or use the cursor buttons to select pad.

display to access the SAMPLE RECORDING
window.
If you select a pad to which a sample is already assigned,
and press the MENU (REC) button, a dialog box appears,
asking whether you want to overwrite the sample.
Note: If you don't want to delete the sample, press the
FUNCTION (CANCEL) button below the display to
cancel the operation; then select a different pad.
