KORG M3 Multisamples as Pa4X Sounds
Sampled something on an M3, or bought an M3 sample library? Pa Studio Suite brings its .KMP Multisamples into a Pa4X-format SET as new own Sounds, which the Pa4X, Pa1000 and Pa700 load. Included in every license.
What comes over from an M3
- Multisamples saved as .KMP with their .KSF samples: key zones, original keys, tuning, level and loops
- A .KSC script: the Multisamples it loads, brought in together
- Stereo pairs: a Multisample ending in “-L” with its “-R” becomes one stereo Sound
- Audio files (WAV, AIFF, KSF) whose names give their key, one Sound per name
What does not
M3 Programs and Combinations are not converted: their filters, envelopes, effects and the M3’s factory samples have no counterpart on a Pa. The app does not read M3 .PCG files. Save the samples as .KMP on the M3, and they come over as Sounds.
How it works
- 1On the M3, save the Multisamples you want as .KMP (with their .KSF samples) to a USB stick.
- 2In Pa Studio Suite, open the Pa4X, Pa1000 or Pa700 SET they should go into.
- 3Choose Import WAV… (it takes .KMP and .KSC files too) and pick the files.
- 4New own Sounds are written into free Sound places, with their samples. Play them in the app, then load the SET on the keyboard.
And back
Own Sounds of a SET can also be saved as .KMP Multisamples with .KSF samples for a Korg sampler. Plain 16-bit samples are written; Korg-compressed ones are not yet.
Questions
Can a Pa4X use M3 samples?
Yes, your own ones: save them as .KMP Multisamples on the M3, and Pa Studio Suite turns them into Pa4X own Sounds. M3 Programs and factory samples do not come over.
Which license do I need?
Any of them. Importing samples is part of Standard, Professional and All Access.
