WHO CAN HELP WITH IMPORTING SF2 TO KSF ?

This thread was accidentally deleted - sometimes MyBB does things it's NOT supposed to do when you delete a single post from a thread.

I managed to recreate the main content by using the back button.


⚖Aripearlmusic:
Press record
Sound edit
Select an empty slot in User
The default OSC count will be 1
Press menu-amp-mod and set the amp mod to 99 (full velocity curve)
The panning is on the top as well and you can set that if you like
Press the EG tab and raise the release time a bit (Optional)

On the bottom right of that you can also link the ADSR with a variety of controls including velocity or expo(nential) velocity, after touch, assignable controls, LFO etc.

Press Menu-basic
Change Rom to RAM
Select the multisample you imported (above)
You can add a velocity split on the OSC page between the higt and low Oscillators
The next tab over will allow you set the note range and velocity range
Press the 3 lines on top and
Save the sound
I will do more instructions for DNC2 type, legato, and RX sounds another time



⚖Robinez:
It's not that hard:
FTY : Factory samples
USR : User samples

So if you want to use your own added samples then select USR and in the selector below select the multisample you have created from loading your sf2.

Actually it's very easy to clone vst's this way, most of the online commercial packages for the korg pa4x and pa5x are copies of VST sounds (not all packages, I know a couple of sound designers that really design the sound theirselves, but most of the online stuff is just copied stuff from the vsts).

And that is why it's a very handy thing to know, how to clone sounds from vst's, once you know how to do it, almost the entire process for cloning is done for you through the software, the only thing left is some basic editing in the sound engine.

So what you need:
- An Autosampler
There are a lot of free autosamplers available on the market, two of the most used ones are : akai mpc beats and TX16Wx
There you assign the midi channel for your vst and the range of samples you want to create (for instance every 6th note). Then it will create the samples for you and set the loop points in the wave files.

- Create the Korg Multisample
Now the only thing left is to import them in the pa4x or pa5x, do this by going to the sample menu on the pa5x, then create a multisample and load the wav files in the corresponding zones (in korg terminology a group of keys is called a zone). Then save the multisample.

- Create the sound (program)
Now you can create the sound by going to the sound menu, create an init sound, then set osc to USR and select the multisample you just have created. Set the ADSR and filter (check my jean michel jarre tutorial if you have no idea what these things are) and save the sound.

Then your copy of the vst sound is ready.

Notes:
- If you use paid software like samplerobot then the autosampling is completely done for the full VST and the multisamples are also automatically created, so that saves a lot of time, but samplerobot is not free like the tools above.
- To clone a sound with the above free method it takes around 5 minutes to do the entire process per sound once you are experienced in it.
- If you are going to really doing the sound design completely yourself (like creating original samples based on your own programming from scratch in a synth) and lot's editing in the pa5x sound engine, then it takes around 8 till 10 hours per sound. But cloning vst sounds doesn't take much time, so start with that, it's much easier (anyone can do this) then doing complete sound design yourself.
- If you have loaded a KMP or KSC or KSF file from another source then you can start directly with the sound programming mode, the samples are then already loaded in your pa5x.

When you have a sound font for say a piano sound some have lots of multiple samples do you have to use all or can you omit some for the purposes of the Pa700 which has limited memory . Apart from the samples that are named xxxl and xxxr how do you know where to assign them.
