audio sample rate recommendation

Post by Marco Filipe »

Hello I have hundreds of samples to insert in my PA4X. And before making any kind of error, I would like to know what frequency and bit rate are recommended.
They told me that if I used the maximum rate (16 bit, 48 kHz), the keyboard could be heavy, remembering the large amount of samples that I will use. And the space used would be larger.
What do you say? Thanks in advance

Marco , PaSeries are using KSF files monophonic protocol which is strictly 16 bit and 16KHz , so anything you will import will be translated to that sampling rate
and that you were told is inaccurate since size resultant will be always the same !
According to my lab tests , 48KHz waveform import proved to be the best translation to KSF format with more frequencies therefore this is the recommended
format to use for importing samples in Pa4X.

Hope this helps
