Hi Matt, I agrre about the ADSR, pity. Usualy I connect a synth to the midi out, then the audio back to the IN of the MS. I can then sample quickly a multisample bank (the keys of the MS triggers the external synth and the sampling at the same time). I then uses the ADSR settings of the external synth. You can also sample when the pattern is playing and quantizie the sample length to fraction of the BPM. Great for these "EDP replace" stuff. It always start with the last loaded bank. So don't forget to write you bank using twice the write button (extreme right). To start with a blank state just init the bank (edit+leftmost E key) then write the bank. I hope this makes sense. ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Davignon" <mattdavignon@gmail.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 7:11 PM Subject: Korg Microsampler I have a microsampler too. It's another one I haven't figured out much yet. This keyboard has its uses, but feels like Korg tragically missed the opportunity to make something wonderful. I would expect a modern sampling keyboard to have these basic features: --The ability to adjust start, end and loop points for the selected sample on the fly with dedicated controls. --ASDR envelopes (attack/sustain/decay/release) --a pitch wheel and a mod wheel. The microsampler has NONE of these things. I believe there's a way to edit start, end and loop points, but you have to hunt through menus to get there. It's a great tool for making hip-hop beats that use samples. In fact, the feature set is completely steered towards this. It has a nice peak detection feature so you could run a drum beat through it, and it would split each hit into a different sample automatically. Another nice feature lets you sample and assign a key to a sound at the same time. When you turn the mode on, you simply hold down the selected note for as long as you want it to record a sample. The sample is saved to that key. I then use a dry-erase marker on the keys to remind me which sample is on each key. Once you have samples, dedicated switches let you loop and reverse them. You can't loop/reverse the samples all at once - only for the keys that you're holding down. One really annoying thing is that the default samples are all beatboxing sounds. Apparently whoever designed this keyboard is either a beatboxer, or was sleeping with one at the time. I haven't yet figured out how to get it to start up with a "blank slate" on the keys - or even better, the samples I had previously loaded. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Rigs! www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt Ruelle Benoit <benoitruelle@yahoo.fr> was all: > The last one: the microsampler might interest you and bring us back on a > looper topic. > It's compact, you can sample/mangle your sound, use it as a crude > multitrack > recorder, use it for glitch/experimental stuff, has a little pattern > sequencer, you can resample several sample in one, use a single sample > chromatically, with or without time strectching (repeater anyone?), allow > easy multisampling, sync several loops ...
