Korg R3: ¿Can I load sounds into the KORG R3?

[patonico]

Hi! I have a simple question: Is it possible to load sounds into the korg r3? For example. I have a piano sound tuned on C and I want to load into the korg r3 memory. Can I? Thanks in advance to everyone.

No.

Not even with the formant motion recorder?

If you mean if you can load a Piano sample (Wave, PCM or similar) the answer is No.

You can load sound patches. Sound patches contain the settings of what internal waveforms (Saw, Square, Sin, Noise, Internal PCM, etc.), Filters, resonance, pitch, LFO, etc. are assigned to create (synthesize) a determined sound.

Sound patches for your R3 you will find here http://www.korgforums.com/?show=1 or searching this forum or at my link at the bottom of this message

formant motion records formant motion, not sound.

so no.

LOL tpantano,

each time I am answering a post, and have it ready (have to interrupt often to attend my family) you have alrady posted an answer

[axxim]

would be a nice update for R3 and Radias, to have at least a little user memory to load a PCM as for example those reserved for the formant motion

I admit, it is tantalisingly disappointing for KORG to give us RADIAS users a PCM section with only preset waves, and then Nord to come out around the same time (a bit later?) with the Nord Wave which is of similar calibre and has user samples. Being able to mangle your own samples with that filter and waveshaper sections would be amazing!

That aside,
Formant motion records the levels of the 16 vocoder bands - it doesn't record an actual sound. The recording is between the analyzer and the reconstruction parts of the Vocoder.

If you want to play back audio files, you want a sampler. The R3 iis a synthesizer - i.e. something which creates new sounds from scratch by using a set of parameters (a 'program', 'patch', 'setting', or 'sound') to tell a bunch of modules what to do.

Note technically things like the M3 and Tritons are referred to as 'Synthesizer Workstations' but are based on samples and you can load your own audio files.

I understand. I just had the idea becuase the sound from the formant motion bank that goes "listen to the futuristic sounds of korg r3" it's so clear and sounds so good that I thought maybe they loaded the recording from a computer or something.

I believe, if you wanted to, you could record your voice on a PC, then run it into an input on the R3, then play it while recording formant data. However, this will *not* sound like your voice, it will be passed through a vocoder when played.
