Setting the Drum Kit’s basic parameters |343
Use the numeric field next to the sample name to choose the sample inside
the selected bank.
Bank Meaning
ROM Factory samples, supplied by KORG as standard.
RAM User samples, loaded when loading some User Drum Kits.
The sample you select for the current layer will be triggered by velocities
higher than the value of the velocity switches. If you do not wish to use veloc-
ity switching, assign just one layer to the selected key, and assign a sample
only to layer 1.
If the RAM drum sample is compressed, it will appear but will not sound.
▪ Select the Rev (Reverse) checkbox to play the sample in reverse. In the case
of samples that were originally specified to loop, the sample will be played
back in one-shot reverse mode. If the sample was originally set to reverse, it
will playback without change.
Setting a sample start offset
▪ Use the Ofs (Offset) parameter to specify the point where the sample will
start to play. With some samples this parameter will not be available.
Offset Meaning
Off The sound will start from the beginning of the sample.
1st…6th The sound will begin from the offset location pre-determined for
each sample.
NoAtk The initial portion of the multisample is ignored.
AMS Activates the Alternate Modulation Source (see below).
PseudoRandom (Only works when more than one Offset point is available in the
multisample). Randomly selects one of the available Offset points
(including Attack and Off).
