KORG => MP3 Samples Support in OS or Upgrade RAM !!

KORG Pa800 has got just 64 MB RAM which is very low and we can't load up many Rhythm loops to make styles from. So, if you guys please provide support for loading Audio loops in the next O.S, that would really be as RAM can't be upgraded.

Thanks

hi ,

you have a good point there , shahid. i think KORG should add this opperntunity with the next O.S. it would be fantastic if we could load a mp3 file as sample.

That's What I was saying, they MUST provide option for loading MP3 samples as there is not enough RAM to load enough Audio Loops.

And that will never happen. At least on the PA800 or PA2XPRO.
It has to do with hardware too, not just software. Cuz if it reads MP3
then you might need 500GB of SAMPLING RAM.

But they could have done a module like MP3 sequencer hardware encoder.

It is about the RAM Shahid, no AUDIO SEQUENCER reads MP3 yet, like
CUBASE, SONAR or whatever, they OPEN the MP3 and then they decode it,
after the expansion 1mb of MP3 is 10 MB of WAVE, PA800 will do the same,
and if you open a 5 MB MP3 you will need 50MB of RAM for that.
Where in the hell???

So, what the hell is this 64 MB then? why don't they circuit the baord with fitted 1 GB or more RAM or
I wish they could have done it like Triton Extreme which has got 3 RAM expanssion slots on the pannel, but cheap KORG tech done SD RAM slots with extreme instead of DDR and no one can find SD RAM sticks easily and they have 64/stick max.

Hi guy's
I think Korg have to do something about this. specially if you load a loop sample then we have bigger problem. at lest 1GB or more .

Thanks,

Amiri
