About KORG format files
KORG format file structure
There are three types of sample-related Korg-format files:
.KMP files for multisamples, .KSF files for samples, and
.KSC files which handle the first two as a collection. Similar
to the AIFF format, .KMP/.KSF files consist of chunks.
Unless stated otherwise, all data is Big Endian.
• When a Korg format file saved on the M3 is loaded by
the TRINITY,
• Of the parameters for each song, the following
parameters are ignored. (The chunk that includes the
parameter is given in parentheses)
• Of the parameters for each sample, reverse playback and
loop off settings (included in the attribute parameters of
the SMD1 chunk) will be ignored, and will be handled
respectively as forward playback and loop on. Only the
twelve types of sampling frequency supported by the
Trinity will be loaded correctly, and if the frequency is
unsupported, the next lowest frequency will be selected.
• Split sample files cannot be loaded.
• When a Korg format file saved on the TRINITY is
loaded into the M3,
• Compressed sample files cannot be loaded.
• Multisamples that use internal samples of the Trinity
will be assigned identically-numbered RAM samples.
• When loading a Korg-format file saved on the M3 into
a Triton
• Of the parameters for each song, the following
parameters are ignored (the chunk that includes the
parameter is given in parentheses)
KMP (KORG Multisample Parameter) files
These consist of the following chunks.
• Multisample parameter chunk
• Attributes
• Multisample name chunk
• Relative parameter chunk 1
If the .KSF filename is “SKIPPEDSAMPL”, it will be treated
as a sample skipped during loading.
If the .KSF filename is “INTERNALnnnn”, internal samples
will be used.
• Relative parameter chunk 2
• Relative parameter chunk 3
• Multisample number chunk
