How to sample your own instrument for a Kurzweil PC3K

[@fmartins777]

This is a very nice tutorial, it was my first reference for adding custom samples in PC3K many years ago. Now I got PC4 but they didn't implement the TRIM page (like PC3K with graphical visualization) then now we are on the fóruns trying to reinforce the importance of this implementation and also would be very good to be a own Kurzweil software to that. Thanks for all support!!!!

I am fully with you in that. Even more with a dedicated Kurzweil Software. But not that crap from Soundtower. Simply something up to date. Ever worked with the Nord samplemanager? A breeze, a walk in the park, loops, crossfades, keymapping, all in minutes. Full auditing via keyboard and then transfer via USB into the instrument. So muss das.

@@Kaffimusic Nord successfully created "apple" devices and the software is very useful and simple as well. Kurzweil should really be attention on that and not only in the legacy since everything has changed on the last year's. People changed a lot.

Hey question so if i want to get the samples from my Kontakt library how so you do that for the kurzweil

[@Kaffimusic]

I never used Kontakt, so I do not know if you can get them in the proper format. The Kurz as well as Kurzfiler can import 16bit 48khz (or lower) WAV files, and as far as I remember also .AIFF files (not 100% sure). You need to have you Kontakt samples in that format. If Kontakt has a proprietary (protected) file format, you will need conversion software. It exists, but might be pricey. Maybe you can even get them converted into ready to load keymaps. There is a company, forgot the name... wait... chickensys dot com. No cheap software. Hoever, you can have a workaround (with loss of quality and additional work) if you simply resample your files and save those in 16bit 48khz WAV format.

#Kaffimusic is it possible to sample right away from external audio into the Kurzweil without a pc?

[@Kaffimusic]

Sorry, no - the PC3K has no internal sampling. On older models it was possible, not here. It can only read and store them.

Ja, Sie könnten auch eine Art Lehrbuch darüber schreiben, oder?😢
