Can't wait for the detailed sample import tutorial. So sad I did not find a word mentioning that in the performance guide from KORG.

There is an 80's Synth sound I had always liked and wanted to emulate, but never quite figured out how to get the (base sounding saw) sound right on the Kronos.

When sampling a keyboard sound from a synth (interval notes - not random sounds), would I only need just a one note sample? Then if I matched that note to the proper note on the keyboard and created a multi-sample across the keyboard, would I then have a complete keyboard full of tones?

If so, this project would be a lot simpler than I thought.

Ideally, if you are sampling a sound from a keyboard and you want it to sound similar then it's best to take several samples and then create the multisample from those samples positioning them in the correct position in the keybed.

Example (very brief summary):- sample a guitar sound (from wherever) - You could sample a C2,G2,C3,G3,C4,G4,C5,G5 (or more) - then trim those samples removing any space at beginning & end, then normalise and save them. Next create a multisample by assigning those samples to their positions in the keybed - save the multisample - then create a new sound using that multisample (in an oscillator) - add effects etc...etc.. and save the sound.

Hope this helps a little.

Now I know little about the PA5x but this would be the approach on PA1x-PA4x.

Thanks for the tip.

I'll give it a try
