saved across media” on page 398 to load the required .KSF
files.
Since sample RAM overflow checking is performed
when loading each .KSF file, an overflow may occur
during the loading process.
26) Load .KSF
The selected .KSF file will be loaded as a sample.
1. To load the data, press the OK button. To cancel with-
out loading, press the Cancel button.
The sample will be loaded after the last multisample or
sample that currently exists in the sample RAM (Append
load).
Loading AIFF files and WAVE files
The M3 can load AIFF format or WAVE format files, which
are formats used to save audio data on personal computers
etc. When this data that has been loaded, it can be used as a
sample or a drum sample.
Files with an extension of other than .AIF or .WAV
cannot be recognized as AIFF/WAVE files. In this case,
use the Utility Rename menu command to change the
last four characters of the filename to “.AIF” or “.WAV”
If the data that is loaded as a sample contains a loop
point, you can set Ofs (Start Offset) (see page 38) on
the M3 so that the sound will begin from the loop point.
If data whose sample size is 8 bits or less is loaded, it
will be converted into 16 bit data inside the M3. This
will mean that the amount of internal memory
consumed will be approximately twice as large as the
file size. The increase in size resulting from this
conversion may mean that it is impossible to save that
data on a media.
27) Load .AIF
The selected AIFF file will be loaded as a sample.
1. To load the data, press the OK button. To cancel with-
out loading, press the Cancel button.
The sample will be loaded after the last sample that
currently exists in the sample RAM (Append load).
Note: You can load multiple files within the directory. For
more information, please see “Loading multiple files at
once” on page 403.
28) Load .WAV
The selected WAVE file will be loaded as a sample.
1. To load the data, press the OK button. To cancel with-
out loading, press the Cancel button.
The sample will be loaded after the last sample that
currently exists in the sample RAM (Append load).
Note: You can load multiple files within the directory. For
more information, please see “Loading multiple files at
once” on page 403.
Loading AKAI S1000/S3000 format Sample files,
Program files, or Volumes
The M3 can load AKAI S1000/S3000 format Sample files,
Program files, and Volumes. Sample file data you load can
be used as RAM samples.
• When you load Program file data, settings such as key
group, key group zone, oscillator, pitch, filter, amp/pan,
and EG are supported, and can be converted into a M3
program, or programs and combination.
• When you load a Volume, all Program files and Sample
files included in the Volume can be loaded together.
• AKAI S1000/S3000 format stereo Sample files and
Program files whose names end in “–L” and “–R” can be
loaded into the M3 as stereo samples and multisamples.
When the above files are loaded, “–L” and “–R” will
automatically be moved to the end of the sample name
or multisample name (the 23rd and 24th characters) so
that they can automatically be recognized as stereo
samples or multisamples.
29) Load AKAI Sample File
The selected Sample will be loaded as a sample.
1. To load the data, press the OK button. To cancel with-
out loading, press the Cancel button.
The sample will be loaded after the last sample that
currently exists in the sample RAM by having been sampled
or loaded (Append load). If the loaded data is then saved to
storage media, it will be saved as a Korg format .KSF file.)
Note: You can load multiple files within the directory. For
more information, please see “Loading multiple files at
once” on page 403.
If the data that is loaded as a sample contains a loop
point, you can set Ofs (Start Offset) (see page 38) on
the M3 so that the sound will begin from the loop point.
Sample files
30) Load AKAI Program File
The selected Program file will be loaded as a M3 program, or
converted and loaded as pr combination. You also
have the option of loading only as multisamples and
samples.
1. In “Advanced Conversion Load,” select how the AKAI
Program file will be loaded.
On (checked): Program file parameters such as key group,
key group zone, oscillator, pitch, filter, amp/pan, LFO, and
EG will be converted into a M3 program or programs and
combination.
Multisamples and samples will also be convert-loaded at the
same time.
Off (unchecked): The selected Program file will be loaded
as a multisample. Only the keymap-related parameters
within the Program file will be loaded to create the
multisample. (See “About AKAI Program files” on page 633)
2. If you checked “Advanced Conversion Load,” use
“Append to: Combination” to specify the destination
