I believe It's the most asked question and topic on the forum , most people like you and myself have asked this many times and want someone generous to make a short video , after importing a sample and then slicing it I can't get to use them in styles. I don't know why it is so hard to make a short clip to help others , maybe people still want to keep secrets to use them for their own benefits.

I very much doubt that.
1. Most likely not many owners have done this (or need to)
2. Those who have, may not have the facilities/time to create video tutorials or choose not to but not to "keep secrets".

I agree a video tutorial would be nice - there are many other aspects of these PA keyboards that would be great to have video tutorials on.

In the meantime, keep experimenting (like the rest of us) and you'll figure it out.
You can always continue to ask specific questions here.

Thanks Pete for the input and I am sorry if I wrote something that is not sounding good, but unfortunatley there are some people who do not want to share some tips and simple guidance and it is a bitter truth , however there are some video tutorials in other languages rather than English on this subject and if Korg could include this topic " making styles with wave samples " on their manuals it wouldn't be such a big work for them and a big hassle for the users in first place .
These keyboards are meant to be samplers after all and if they had a simple sampling procedure it would be much better.

This site was a great help to me when I had a PA2 and did some sampling.
Has some workshops with pictures, no video's.

All beginning is difficult, the first sound i made took me an evening or 2, the last one 2 minutes.
I printed the chapter in the Korg PA2 Edited Edition, and highlighted the steps to take.
Just begin, you can't mess up things, when the samples dont sound like you wish you can delete them.
The main steps are:
get a WAV file with a 1 note sample on a USB-stick,
Go in sound modus,
Load the sample,
edit the sample,
Don't forget to save it(give it a name).
Go to multisamples
Open the new the sample
Save the multisample
Copy a sound to a sound with a new name.
Open the copysound
Open <menu> basics and go to oscillators
change the osc's (ROM becomes RAM)
change the multisamplenumber, till you see the multisample you made.
(probably the first RAM nr. on your keyboard)
DON't mess around in the Original sound, Always experiment in the copy sound.

Dear Aaad,
I tried somethings last night..I copied sound,and i heared it on Pa800,but i didn't understand..Do i have to copy sounds one by one for each of the notes?And what about assignment of sounds?I found lots of other sounds when i try to save the sound..
