Korg Electric Keyboard ユーザーズマニュアル

Specifies the key that will play the sample at its original 
pitch (i.e., the pitch at which it was recorded). The pitch will 
change in semitone steps relative to the original key.

For example, suppose that you recorded a sample with 
“Orig.K” of F2. When the zone of the index is C2–B2, press-
ing the F2 key would playback the sample at its original 
pitch. Pressing F#2 would playback the sample a semitone 
higher. Pressing E2 would playback the sample a semitone 
lower. The pitch of this sampled sound will change in semi-
tone steps between C2 and B2, centered at F2.
The original key location can also be viewed in “Keyboard & 
Index.”

If “Constant Pitch” (4.1–2a) is checked, the sample will 
be sounded at its original pitch by all notes in the zone.

Specifies the highest key in the zone of the index. The zone 
is defined by this “TopK.”

For example, suppose that you set a “TopK” of B2 for index 
001/002, and a “TopK” of B3 for index 002/002. This means 
that the zone of index 001 will be B2 and lower, and the zone 
of index 002 will be C3–B3.

Here you can create an index. Use this when you wish to 
add a sample to a multisample.
When you press the [F6] (“CREATE”) key, a new index will 
be created according to the settings of the Create (Create 
Zone Preference) (1.1–3b, 4.1–3a) parameters “Pstn (Posi-
tion),” “Range (Zone Range),” and “Orig.K (Origiral Key 
Position).”
If you wish to delete an existing index or to exchange indi-
ces, use 4.1: Multisample.

“CREATE” will be displayed if the 1.1: Recording, Sam-
ple page or the 4.1: Multisample, Edit1, Edit2 pages are 
selected.

If when you execute “CREATE” (1.1–1c, 4.1–1c) or 
“INSERT” (4.1–1c) it is not possible to create a new 
index according to your Create (Create Zone Prefer-
ence) settings, one of the following dialog boxes will 
appear. If you wish to create a new index, perform the 
following procedure.

• Set Top Key: Select “Index” 001, set “Pstn (Position)” 

(1.1–3b, 4.1–3a) to L (Left), and execute “CREATE” or 
“INSERT” to open the dialog box. So that a new index 
can be created at the left of index 001, reset the “Top 
Key” setting, and press the [F8] (“OK”) key.

• Set Zone Range: If you execute “CREATE” when it is 

not possible to create a new index according to the 
Create (Create Zone Preference) settings, the following 
dialog box will appear. This dialog box will also 
appear if you execute “INSERT” when it is not possible 
to create a new index with the contents of the “CUT” 
or “COPY” (4.1–1c). Reset the “Range (Zone Range)” 
(1.1–3b, 4.1–3a), and press the [F8] (“OK”) key.

Here you can select the memory bank into which you will 
sample, specify the sampling time, and select either mono or 
stereo sampling.

Specifies the time that you wish to sample. This can be set in 
0.001 second increments. Immediately after the power is 
turned on, this will show the remaining memory (available 
sampling time) of the selected memory bank. If you record a 
sample in this condition (“REC”

→

“START”

→

“STOP”), the 

change in time will be displayed automatically.
If the installed sample data RAM has enough free space, it is 
a good idea to set “Time (Sample Time)” to a larger setting 
than necessary, and then after sampling, use the “Truncate” 
utility (2.1–2a, 3.1–2e) to delete unneeded regions so that the 
sample does not occupy any more memory than necessary. 
You can also press the [START/STOP] key to stop recording 
after you have recorded the desired material (☞ For details 
on the sampling procedure, refer to BG p.34).

The remaining amount of memory will depend on the fol-
lowing conditions.
1.

The amount of memory that is installed.

Whether the sample is stereo or mono. When the “Mode 
(Sample Mode)” (1.1–2a) is set to Stereo, the memory 
capacity will be halved.

The time specified for “Pre Trigger” (1.1–2b: a function 
that automatically samples the sound even before you 
begin sampling) will be subtracted from the amount of 
memory that actually remains.

This selects the memory bank that will be used for sampling. 
The sample data RAM is divided into four 16 Mbyte banks.
You can expand the sample data RAM to a maximum of 64 
Mbytes (two 32 Mbyte SIMM modules). (☞p.256)
The banks that can be selected will depend on the sample 
data RAM that is installed, as follows.
