OASYS PCI
English
Adding a new set of Korg or third-party sounds
The directory structure makes it really simple to add a new set of sounds and
effects from Korg or third-party sound developers. Each set of sounds contains its
own sub-folders for Multis, Programs, Patches, Effects, Multisamples, and
Samples, so all items appear automatically in the Catalog window.
To add a new set of sounds:
1.
Drag the main folder into the OASYS PCI folder.
2.
If you are running the OASYS PCI Editor, close and re-open the Catalog
window.
That’s it! All the new sounds and effects will now be available.
Saving your own sounds
To begin, save into the User Files folder
The OASYS PCI installer creates a folder named “User Files,” with sub-directories
for Programs and Multis. Save your own sounds into this directory, with Programs
in the Programs folder, Multis in the Multis folder, and Multisamples in the
Multisamples folder.
IMPORTANT
: If you plan to distribute your sounds, you might want to change
the name of the User Files folder to something more speci
fi
c, such as “Sarah’s
Sounds.” This will save you a little work later on.
Use folders and sub-directories to organize your sounds
You can create sub-directories within the Programs and Multis folders, to further
organize your sounds; just keep to one level of directories underneath the main
Programs or Multis folders.
You can also create any number of additional main folders of your own, at the
same level as the User Files folder, with their own Programs and Multis folders.
Don’t save into the Korg and Korg FX Programs folders
The Korg and Korg FX Programs folders are reserved for Korg’s own use, so don’t
save your own sounds in these folders. If you do, the sounds may be deleted when
you update or re-install the OASYS PCI software.
Distributing sounds
If you plan to distribute your sounds to other OASYS PCI users, you should use
one or more folders with custom names, such as “John Smith Analog Collection,”
instead of User Files. This will allow OASYS PCI users to install your sounds by
simply dragging your main folder into the OASYS PCI Folder.
Make sure to create the standard Multis, Programs, and Multisamples folders
within the main folder. These folders are necessary for the sounds to show up in
the Catalog. Also, when you distribute the sounds, this means that other OASYS
