The OASYS Refill Project.

From this thread at the bottom of page 4:

Ok, but how do we get the password to unzip your file Sharp?

Thanks!

Hi CADIZ.

Sorry but at this moment in time the data will only be made available to OASYS users who wish to take part in this project.

Kind Regards.
Sharp.

[thekeymaster]

errrr right not been around for a while ,downloaded Sharps file but i cant get it to unzip ...or decompress.

I'm using Mac OSX tiger 10.4.7....the message I get when I try to open it is...

Unable to unarchive "project-oasys.zip"into "Desktop"
(Error 78-Function not implemented.)

Am I a retard???

[tcornishmn]

Did it prompt you for a password? I do know it is a password protected file.

[thekeymaster]

Nope not all.... i do have the password but thats what I found strange,no prompt for it at all.

[tcornishmn]

Can you successfully open other zip files? Is there another zip client you can try for the mac? I suspect it is a problem with your decompression software - possibly it can't handle password protected files.

then Sharp, I would also join the project if possible..thanks in advance

Hello.

No, I’m not sampling the OASYS. I’m creating new samples for the OASYS.

Regards.
Sharp.

Sharp, sorry I just join the train now, tell me, what are you sampling, I mean from witch synths? from witch instruments, or from witch VST ?

[Sharp]

Hi Mozartella.

Most of the data is left over files from projects I worked on over the years. Some real instruments, real voices, real analogue synth’s, VL technology, MOSS technology and a few other sources.

Kind Regards.
Sharp.

Hi Sharp,

happy to be IN, I did love a lot the pass, then if you made samples like your pass, we are going to have a good ride...


Now, because of my interest in the Oasys, and the sampling word, I learned a lot, already with your wonderfull samples...I have just a question.....Your library is a big one, what would be the best approach, when using, say a fews samples from here and others samples from there, to try and make nice mistakes....would you suggest to save the multisamples and samples into a new folder? but, at the end, our Oasys could be overloaded? as we all know, the time at boot-up is slow, then if we load all your library, that would take even more time...


Anyway the project is more to manipulates samples, or to integrate samples like waveform on the Karma or WaveSequence?

thanks again and more later

No, the only thing you need to do in relation to the samples is to load them to memory exactly as I said in one of the previos posts, and then save that merged set back to the OASYS hard disk.

From that point onwards you will only need to load the merged set you saved to your hard disk back into the OASYS.

As for the sounds you create. All you need to save and update is the PCG file.

It’s very important that nobody messes with the order and choice of samples that are loaded to memory. If you change the setup in anyway, everything you create will be incompatible with the project.

Anyway the project is more to manipulates samples, or to integrate samples like waveform on the Karma or WaveSequence?

The sky is the limit. You can use your OASYS to it’s full extent to create whatever you wish.

The only rule is… don’t edit the actual sample data itself as that like I mentioned above will create an incompatibility.

Enjoy, and have fun. This is as much about you getting to know your OASYS and enjoying the experience as it is taking part in this project.

Kind Regards.
Sharp.

could you be more specific " ? If I save that merged part, would not be an overwrtting of the original samples or multisample?

From that point onwards you will only need to load the merged set you saved to your hard disk back into the OASYS.

again, more specific, in that case, I would not any more upload your KSC ? I knows it is dumb.....

I got it, that one

You won’t need to edit any of this sample data, all you need to do is assign them to program sounds, and ….create

ok, then do you prefer, we try to make news program sound, and when ready not to touch the multiSamples and or samples, and present a finished program?


also, once thing I do not understand well...do you fell Sharp, the wav format, used with the new wav into the Karma of the Oasys, like in the program A 056 piano, based more on the ability to use the modulation of the Karma, but in wav format ? could bring more diversification, then a normal Midi file or midi message?

Sorry I do not find the best words to express myself...

and thanks

[mozartella]

going to make my last message more clear, at least would try, but, one question

can we, in the project, use the native sounds or timbres or programs of the internal bank of the Oasys, or ? that Sharp project is just about the samples of Sharp, and nothing else ?

I mean, I already try to build a Combi, using, only the programs who came with the Sharp OASYS PCG..

thanks, the sky is the limit.....

[mozartella]

would like to try to clarify my last message.



Can we use the internal factory ROM/EXs1/EXs2 multisamples for the OASYS Refill Project? Or do we have to exclusively create HD-1 Programs using the Refill project multisamples?



I already tried to create a Combi using the programs that came with the OASYS Refill Project PCGs.



I guess the sky is the limit.



Thanks!

( BTW) I am sooooooo lucky..... I just found on the net, the best ever translator french to english on the market...geez, what a wonderfull life the only trouble is, I must feed it en english...mystery in life

Hello, I bought an Oasys about a month ago, and finally ready to start creating some Combis. Thanks so much for starting this project.

Stephen with the Karma...Then going to pin-point his message :

Wave-sequencing is a term for sequencing the playback of waveforms (as you may know), and there's amazing stuff that can be done with it.

And then there's "KARMA Wave-Sequencing", which is my own take of being able to do this within KARMA's note-generation world. You may find these references handy at some point:

http://www.karma-lab.com/forum/show...=&threadid=5499

extract from Stephen:

In a nutshell, KARMA Wave-Sequencing is a completely separate thing from "regular Korg Wave-Sequencing". It uses the same name, because it can achieve a similar sounding effect. But "regular Korg wave-sequencing" and KARMA Wave-Sequencing are connected in no way (other than a KARMA GE can be generating its normal notes and controller output values and sending them to a Program that has Korg wave-sequencing involved, if you follow me).

Wave-sequencing, as it has traditionally come to be defined, means changing the PCM waveforms of a sound while you are playing it, in some sort of sequence. The typical sound that immediately comes to mind is the sort of "floop-chicka-click-diddle" percussive rhythmic sequences popularized in the Korg WaveStation by sounds such as "Ski Jam", "Pharaoh's Jig", "The Wave Song" etc. In these, basically a 16th note stream of waveform changes is cycled through while holding down notes, creating an ever-changing barrage of snippets of drums and percussive sounds. Other less "in your face" uses allow musical waves to gradually fade and morph between sounds, also a popular WaveStation type sound.

KARMA, at its most basic, generates notes. There is a destination program for a particular GE within the synth architecture, so, for example, a GE might be playing a string of 16th notes on a piano patch. What if KARMA had the ability to not only tell the synth what note to play, but a waveform sound for that note? That is KARMA Wave-Sequencing. Each note as it is generated can switch the PCM waveform internally to a desired wave, in whatever kind of sequence desired, including randomized pools of choices.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'''

again, my question is """"" that sentence is, in a way the starting point, on how and why we could make a difference beetween Midi (message) and Audio format.....WAV , in the use of the Karma module...Seems to me, the road is wide open, even more then the Midi point of wiew ? witch one is the most flexible? the Midi one, or the implementation of wav, into the Karma idea of Stephen?




maybe, I do not understand it well and thanks for your abondant responses.... feel that project is going to be very nice, in deed....
