Korg Pa4X complaints

[Korghelper]

And Sieben, once again, we aren’t on the same page. I’m not the slightest bit interested in using the Korg’s built in time slicing abilities. As alluded to earlier, this makes for choppy rhythms when slowed down.

I like to use ReCycle to slow a loop down (so the slices get their tails extended without messing up the transient) and then have the program export each slice as a separate .wav and a .mid file that plays the slice back correctly. This then allows the loop to be slowed down somewhat without it getting choppy when played by the arranger after the .mid is imported to the drum track and the samples to the sampler.

The PA4 isn’t really any good at doing this internally, which is why the need for a lot of sample slots.

It can work, and work well, a lot better than using the utilities Korg provide, but it needs more slots to use the RAM effectively. 1.5GB RAM is a LOT of loops, especially as they can be quite lo-fi mono loops if doing hip hop breakbeats. But the sample slot restriction is the bottleneck at this point.

So... on a thread titled PA4X complaints, how about we stick to just that, and stop assuming we know how other people work?

Maybe it’s time to go back and look at the thread title...?

Very good suggestion which I have also mentioned above - an independent topic like "To loop or not to loop" would make a lot more sense and be far more helpful to other members.

With full respect to Korgpask (OP), I'm considering locking this topic - any thoughts?
