NOTICE KORG products are manufactured under strict specifications and voltages required by each country. These products are warranted by the KORG distributor only in each country.

[. . . ] If this is the case it is likely that there would be an irregular rhythm introduced. So to correct this you should delete the newly sliced sample and try again setting the BPM to 119, or 118. 5, or even 121. Trying a few settings like this will help you to find the BPM setting which produces the best slicing. · Even before you finish executing the Slice command you can tell if a phrase is going to come out OK. After choosing a BPM setting and pressing the Slice sample part key, the step keys will light at certain note intervals based on the current sensitivity setting. Now you can audition each lit step key to hear how the slice is going to turn out. You should check the timing of critical step keys, like step key 5 (beat 2), step key 9 (beat 3) etc. to hear if the sample timing is lining up with critical downbeats in your phrase. If they're sounding strange you should press the Stop/Cancel key right away and start the procedure again, this time using a different BPM setting until you hear these critical step keys/beats matching up better. Other functions for editing a sample If you wish to save a sample that was edited using these functions, you must perform the Write operation before you move to another sample or turn off the power. (p. 32 "Saving a sample (WRITE)") Normalize This function boosts the level of the sample as far as possible without causing it to become distorted. (Key 11 will go dark. ) If you decide to cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key. Maximum level 4. Sample mode Deleting a sample (Delete Sample) This function completely deletes a sample from memory. (Key 14 will go dark. ) If you decide to cancel without deleting, press the Stop/Cancel key. Once a sample has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. Checking the remaining amount of sampling area (Memory) Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LED indicate Memory. The display will indicate the remaining number of seconds of sampling time. Since stereo sampling uses twice as much memory, the available amount of sampling time will be half the amount that is displayed. 32 Saving a sample (WRITE) After you record or modify a sample, you must perform the Write operation if you wish to keep the data. If you wish to intentionally discard the changes you have made to a sample and revert to the original data, simply change samples without saving. In the case of a newly recorded sample, the display will blink "- -. " (or "- -. S" for a stereo sample). In the case of a monaural sample (including slice samples), you can choose from "00. " through "99. " In the case of a stereo sample, you can choose from "00. S" through "49. S. " When you choose the unused sample number, a period is indicated on the lower right Lit side of display. Press the Write key once again, and the display will indicate that the data is being saved. When saving is complete, the display will change to the save destination number and the Write key will go dark. If you decide to cancel without writing, press the Stop/Cancel key. 1 2 2, 3 2 1, 3 With the factory settings, Memory Protect is turned on so that data cannot be saved.
