Creating Programs using Sample mode

Post by Peter1960 »

I am trying to create some programs using wav files and the sampling function in the Kronos, but am having difficulties, as the most recent multi sample used then appears in all the programs previously created, which means they all sound the same.

Despite owning my Kronos for many years, I have never used the sample function before, and after looking at a few YouTube videos, I decided to give it a go.

Firstly, I sampled one of the patches in Omnisphere, following the Qui Robinez You Tube tutorial, and decided to try and make a Kronos program using this patch. I also used 2 wav files of 2 Korg Z1 patches that were extracted from a CD Rom that I previously owned.

The Omnisphere sampling and conversion to a program seem to go well; I followed the instructions in the tutorial. I then attempted to create a program using one of the Z1 patches, which required me to produce a multisample using the wav file of the Z1 patch. On completing the procedure, I then had a program with the Z1 patch sound; however, on going back to the program produced using the Omnisphere patch / multi sample, I found that this program then had the Z1 multisample in it ! As a result, the Omnisphere and Z1 programs sounded the same.

I tried to create a second Z1 program using the second wav file, having made a multisample from it. The same thing happened – this multi sample then appeared in the previous two programs, having effectively “over-written” the multisamples that were already there.

All the multisamples relating to each program have been named and saved separately; there is a KSC file for each. I have done all the above without rebooting the Kronos.

Please can someone help me to resolve this issue - I have searched online but cannot find a solution. Basically, I need to know why each instance of creating a multi sample and then a program, results in that multi sample ending up in the other two previously created programs.

Many thanks for your help

Hi Peter1960,

There could be different explanations to your problem, as it is hard to tell on a forum without seeing what you do.

Each time you load any type of multisample in the Kronos that you want to keep, convert it as a different/new program through Sampling mode and also do a Save sampling data in Disk mode, in both cases with different names. Later, even though not necessary, you could also combine both in one multisample set - which will create just one set of KSC files (blabla.KSC + blabla_UserBank.KSC) and separate KMP and KSF files in subdirectories. Also, in Sampling mode make sure to not confuse the Multisample/Sample tabs and boxes. If you have more than one multisample loaded in Sampling mode, when you use the convert to program function it will create one with the currently selected multisample.

Another thing to not forget is to add the KSC files you want in the KSC Auto-Load tab in Global mode. Click on the Add button there and navigate on the SSD to find them. These added KSC files also need to be checked there to be loaded/sounding after each Kronos bootup.

Finally, for any new multisample program which might choose an incorrect sound, under the OSC1 Basic tab of the programs make sure the correct multisample set and sound are selected there.

How are you trying to save the multisamples you create?

I think the work flow on the Kronos is something like Create the Sample,Create Program for Sample,Save Program,Go to Disk Save Sample,Global Autoload KSC file.

but then there's different options to save along the way. Like how you save the file, what you save it as, and how you choose for it to load.

What's your step by step?
