Korg Pa5X tutorial: How to add drum loops to your style

Post by QuiRobinez »

Korg Pa5X tutorial: Samples - how to add drum loops to your style

In this tutorial we are going to take a look at adding sampled loops to our Pa5X. We will create pads with house loops and acoustic loops. Also we will replace the drums from a song style with an acoustic drumloop. For this example we are going to use the song purple rain from prince and replace the midi drums with the acoustic drumloop from the real drummer of prince.

So a really interesting tutorial that will add a lot of value to your pa5x once you know how to do this.

But first an important message. When you start with these things it's absolutely necessary that you have created a backup of your Pa5X, this is because you are going to add a lot of samples to it and if you are making a mistake it will take a lot of time to delete every sample manually. So be sure that you have a backup of your pa5x before you are going to try the things I show in this tutorial. On my youtube channel there is a in depth tutorial for that on how to safely backup and load your backups on the pa5x. So if you didn't do that, watch that first before trying the things I'm going to show you in this tutorial.
