Titolo: importare sample akay sul K2K

prima di spendere troppi soldi in librerie akay vorrey sapere se è possibile
usarle efficacemente sul K2K: provando a campionare mi sono spiaccicato
contro l' imponente muro del looping e la ricerca dello zero crossing...
(secondo me il gestore del loop ha troppa poca risoluzione ).
Comunque visto che ho letto che si possono importare solo i sample e non i
program akay vorrei sapere se almeno quelli siano già loop-ati.
Sul manuale c' è scritto poi che il K2K fa la ricerca automatica degli zero
crossing... a me no... ho il SO V3.01. Altra questione: la sezione DSP della
gestione del sample serve solo a far boiate o può venire d' aiuto al
campionamento?
Si accettano volentieri consigli e/o suggerimenti riguardanti l' ostico
mondo del campionamento.
Grazie.
?S?a?m?

 campionamento?
Io l'ho trovata molto utile, ma troppo lenta. Appena ho potuto mi sono
comprato un PC e una scheda SCSI. Ora per l'edit dei campioni uso Wavelab:
molto più potente e comodo.

Ciao! Ti incollo qui sotto qualcosa che potrebbe esserti utile per capire
cosa succede quando importi campioni non nativi sul tuo Kurzweil. Ciao!
Recently there were a number of  post about using Akai and Roland
samples. As far as the types of issues that arise, it really depends.
Some non-native sounds need more work to adapt them to the Kurz
than others. As a general rule, simpler straight-ahead sounds don't
require as much work. Also, sounds that are basically like freestanding
sonic events (drum loops) and don't need to be sensitive to your playing
style generally work fine without a lot of programming.
Akai and Roland samples and keymaps usually port over pretty well.
However, the lack of an appropriate program can be a problem. In
the process of porting in a non-native sample/keymap, the Kurzweil
automatically assigns program #199 to samples. That program may
or may not work depending on the type of sampled sound. For various
keyboard and orchestral sounds, you might  have to adjust release
times. Some people have more of a problem with that than others.
Here's an email I got from someone who knows the Kurweil pretty well:
"I was looking for affordable orchestral samples (I have the Orchestral
ROM board, but wanted something *bigger*, so I bought a collection
called "Orchestra Kurzweil"-- it had Peter Siedlaczek's name on it.
I could have bought Siedlaczek's Akai-format strings, but I thought
the Kurzweil version would be less hassle.
"It turned out the "Kurzweil format" was just the CD itself with some
the sounds dropped into the generic #199 program. This resulted in
horrid "natural" envelope releases - the sound would cut out a soon
as you let  go of the keys. I had to tweak everything to make use of
the CD-ROM.  It was a debacle."
Obviously this is less of problem for sounds that don't need much sustain.
Generally speaking, though, programming can add value to a sound
library's overall usability. I'd say really outstanding Kurzweil sounds are
the ones that are very dependent on the Kurz's synth features, its filters
and sound-shaping capabilities. And on some of the better Kurzweil
native collections out there, the patches use the Kurzweil's controllers
in interesting ways.
Akai or Roland samples that have been ported over will not have any
of  the interesting Kurzweil-specific features because there is no cross-
platform tranfer of the program data (which includes effects like reverbs,
chorus, delay, etc).  Because the Kurzweil only reads the  sample and
keymap information from these non-native disks, effects still have to be
assigned.  Obviously, some of  the programming steps are more work
than others. For example, controllable filter sweeps and rez filters  are
obviously going to be more involved than dialing up an effects patch.
