Korg Electribe ES-1
Loading Samples
Loading samples from a SmartMedia card has a few restrictions:
- Filenames and extensions have to be uppercase (manual uses extension in lowercase, this's just what I've read elsewhere).
- Files eed to be named in order, EG: 00.WAV 01.WAV 02.WAV 03.WAV 04.WAV
- 100 files max in the root directory. Dunno about using subdirectories.
- Practical workflow see to be grab a bunch of samples you want to keep together, load them onto the ES-1, then save them as a bank (.ES1 file) back onto the card. This way you can store much more. Banks could be for individual songs, based on a theme, etc. Then you can load/unload full banks as you want them.
- 8- or 16-bit, 32KHz. .WAV or .AIFF. If you use a rate other than 32KHz playback speed will change.
- You can format the card in the ES-1. It's FAT-12
- If you get
Er.3
that means you're out of space.
Converting
With Audacity:
- Select all audio, Tracks > Resample… select or enter '32000'.
- If you want to make it mono: Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo Down to Mono.
- File > Export > Export as WAV and set encoding to 'Signed 16-bit PCM' or 'Unsigned 8-bit PCM'
With FFmpeg:
…
With SoX:
-r
is sample rate-c
is channels-b
is bit depth
(untested)
for file in *.wav; do sox $file -r 32000 -b [16|8] -c 1 [optional output directory/]$(basename $file); done
