Creating And Saving .Ksc Files - Korg NAUTILUS Series Operation Manual

Global Settings, Wave Seq., Drum Kits
Virtual Memory: The samples will use Virtual Memory.
This generally allows you to load more large samples at
once. Note that the samples may still require a significant
amount of RAM.
KSC Settings: KSCs can store separate load method settings
for each Multisample or Drumsample, based on the settings
when the KSC was saved. Setting Load method to KSC
Settings uses these individual settings.
Memory usage graphic
This shows the amount of memory used by the different
types of samples, along with the slots used for SAMPLING
mode Multisamples, Samples, and Multisample Indexes
(key zones within Multisamples).
Show Current or Selected Auto-Load
This selects whether the graphic shows the current state of
memory, or the state of memory as it would be after doing an
auto-load using the current settings.
It's possible for different KSC files to refer to the same
sample data; for instance, two KSC files may point to the
same set of Grand Piano multisamples. The system takes
note of this, so that the redundant data is counted only once.
EXS/USR BANK shows the amount of memory used for
samples in EXs and User Sample Banks.
SAMPLING shows the amount of memory used for
samples in SAMPLING mode.
Free shows the amount of memory still available.
The next section shows the numbers of Multisamples,
Samples, and Multisample Indexes currently used in
SAMPLING mode, out of the available maximum. Data in
EXs and User Banks does not count towards these
maximums.

Creating and saving .KSC files

Creating a subset of PRELOAD.KSC
You may decide that you want to remove some of the
factory-loaded samples from memory, in order to make room
for optional Korg or third-party EXs, or for your own
samples. This is easy to do. You can unload an entire EXs, if
you wish, or unload individual Multisamples or
Drumsamples.
Unloading does not affect the data stored on drive; it only
changes what is currently loaded into memory.
Unloading an entire bank of data
To un-load an entire bank of data at once:
1. Go to the GLOBAL > Basic Setup– Sample
Management page.
This page offers tools for managing the sample data
currently loaded into the NAUTILUS.
2. In the menu, select the Unload all in bank command.
The Unload all data from selected bank dialog will
appear.
3. Select the desired bank (such as an EXs).
4. Press the OK button to confirm, or Cancel to exit the
dialog without making changes.
180
Multisamples shows the current number of Multisamples in
SAMPLING mode, out of the maximum of 4,000.
Samples shows the number of Samples in SAMPLING
mode, out of the maximum of 16,000.
MS Indexes shows the total number of Indexes in all
Multisamples in SAMPLING mode, out of the maximum of
16,000.
Memory capacity exceeded
If the size of the sample data in MB adds up to greater than
the total available memory, then there are several indications
in the graphic:
• The Free box turns red, and shows the amount by which
the selected data exceeds the available memory, as a
negative number
• The word OVER appears in red to the right of the Free
box, with three exclamation points on a second line
Max numbers exceeded for SAMPLING mode
Multisamples, Samples, or Multisample Indexes
As noted above, SAMPLING mode can have up to 4,000
Multisamples, 16,000 Samples, and 16,000 Multisample
Indexes. If any of these limits would be exceeded by the
selected auto-load, then there are two indications in the
graphic:
• The numbers for the affected data type (e.g., number of
Samples) are shown in red
• The bar-graph for the data type turns red, instead of blue,
and extends to fill the entire length
5. Proceed to the instructions under "Saving a KSC
file," below.
Unloading individual items
To unload individual Multisamples, Drumsamples, or
Samples:
1. Go to the GLOBAL > Basic Setup– Sample
Management page.
2. Above the list of sample data, select the desired Bank
and Type.
For EXs and User Sample Banks, the possible Types are
Multisample or Drumsample. For SAMPLING mode, the
possible Types are Multisample or Sample.
3. Select the desired items (Multisamples or Samples)
from the list.
To select two or more items at once, enable the Multiple
Select check-box.
4. Press the Unload button.
A confirmation dialog will appear.
5. Press the OK button to confirm, or Cancel to exit the
dialog without making changes.
