The manual says that we can create our own drumkits with round robin in the same paragraph where sample recording is mentioned:

Glad to see people that are really digging deeper instead of griming ...

Regardless of what manual says , you can create only 8 velocity layers since Play Mode : Cycle is disabled when selecting a stereo custom drum sample.

For instance factory drum sample 3370 SD has enabled ambience mode & Cycle mode containing 4 Round Robin levels which means that this sample
has meta data that are recognized by engine and KorgPa have never informed developers of required meta data info for this !
They should also had the option in Cycle mode to select different custom samples.

Also factory drum sample 1295 HH , has 4 offset markers , where are also 4 markers that are recognized but no further info of kind of meta data
in order users to create them since Pa3X age ...

Hope this helps

And how about custom mono samples? I tried to load samples and name them the same way Korg did with their round robin internal samples. It is still disabled.

Edit: The sad part is that I was working on a custom high quality percussion kit for about 10 hours yesterday (just preparation to get an initial idea how it would sound like in the end) just to figure out, that the advertised function is disabled. This feels like a scam to me, especially when considering all the other missing functions.

It's not a subject of name but as I wrote in sample audio format , it needs 4 audio channel in specific format that OS recognizes
via meta data and multi channels else this Cycle option is not enabled !
Remark above mentioned factory samples and Cycle contains 4 different round robin samples.

Only if they allow management to assign different custom samples without meta data pointing to other slave factory round robin samples
then we can create custom round robin with different drum samples , as we do in melodic Sounds and multisamples.

As concerned to advertised functions , round robin is factory samples feature as ambient in older models and Pa5X is not
a continuation of Pa4X , all are designed from scratch so the term missing is not valid its only a matter of new specifications.
If they fit to your demands then you buy it else you stay on Pa4X.

Hope this helps

Manually i have tested the RR function and it works on ram samples.
Unfortunately the UI doesn't allow it yet.
Hopefully as it is written in the manual , they ll add UI options for the user to do it too.
The offsets that factory use, at least up until 4x, do crash the sound engine if manually enabled on ram samples.
I think that ambience worked too when i had tested it but not really sure.
There is no easy way to do any of these though as they need understanding and fixing in hex/binary format to be enabled/set.
