I just got an MS on loan and before I commit to buying, would like to know if it can do what my little old Casio SK-1 and Sk-5 can do:

Record a sample via the mic and have it at once spread across the keyboard and ready to play melodies and chords. And not in one-shot mode (tap a key and the whole sample plays) but in an organ-like mode where the sample plays only as long as you hold a note down.

Casios are great for this but very lo-fi. Mainly I want to record my voice singing and then play it immediately. If other parameters such as envelope type and loop on/off can be set as a default before sampling, or instantly by pressing a switch after sampling (as on the Casio), that'd be great too.

This is my main interest and hope for this keyboard - instant sampling in a live situation, and at better quality than the Casios. If the MS isn't up to it, any suggestions re another keyboard would be gratefully received.

Thanks!

Yes it will do that. You can adjust the release of each sample to change the cut off & save the setting. Check out the online pdf for more info in this.

You can, but it doesn't sound any good as Microsampler doesn't do timestretching. So if you're not playing pure organ sounds, all the high notes will be really short and the low notes really long.

If you look at Korg's sample banks,what they've done is they've sampled e.g. every fourth key and the rest are simply changing the pitch from nearby keys. So the effect is there but it's quite small and you won't notice it. If you try to spread one sample to three octaves, the effect will definetely by noticable.

I have had good success at assigning sounds in loop mode, without an attack phase, by adjusting the start and end points, so no click is heard, you can also use software to 0 cross phase to get a seamless loop too. This is a memory efficient way for those type of sounds so you can have plenty of memory available for long samples to sounds with distinctive attacks like a piano. Smile
