About KORG format les
KORG format le structure
There are three types of les: .KMP les for multisamples,
.KSF les for samples, and .KSC les which handle the rst
two as a collection. Similar to the AIFF format, .KMP/.KSF
les consist of chunks.
Unless stated otherwise, all data is Big Endian.
When a Korg format le saved on the TRITON STUDIO 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 le saved on the TRINITY is loaded
into the TRITON STUDIO,
Compressed sample files cannot be loaded.
Multisamples that use internal samples of the Trinity
will be assigned identically-numbered RAM samples.
KMP (KORG Multisample Parameter) les
These consist of the following chunks.
Multisample parameter chunk
Attributes
Relative parameter chunk 1
If the .KSF lename is SKIPPEDSAMPL, it will be treated
as a sample skipped during loading.
If the .KSF lename is INTERNALnnnn, internal samples
will be used.
Relative parameter chunk 2
Multisample number chunk
KSF (KORG Sample File) les
There are four types of structure for these les. One consists
of a Sample Parameter chunk, Sample Data chunk, and Sam-
ple Number chunk (SMP1 + SMD1 + SNO1). Another con-
sists of a Sample Parameter chunk, Sample Data chunk,
Sample Filename chunk, and Sample Number chunk (SMP1
+ SMD1 + SMF1 + SNO1). The latter structure is in the case
where the sample data of the Sample chunk is empty, and
uses the sample data of the .KSF le specied by the Sample
Filename chunk (shared sample data).
When saving to a oppy disk and a single disk cannot
accommodate all of the data, it is possible to automatically
divide the le and continue the save operation.
When a .KSF le is created in this way, the rst le will con-
sist of the Sample Parameter chunk, Sample Number chunk,
a divided Sample Parameter chunk, and a divided Sample
Data chunk (SMP1 + SNO1 + SPD1 + SDD1), and the second
and subsequent les will consist of a divided Sample Data
chunk (SDD1).
