I've been using samplers for some time now, but never happened to create my own instruments. A couple days ago a friend of mine brought his old Korg 01/W synth (or should I say rompler?) to use on his project. I liked some of its patches so much that I wanted to capture them. The idea is to sample as accurately as possible. The problem is... well, lack of knowledge.
The 01/W's filter controls are not like those of a sampler. The cutoff is a number out of -99 to 99 range. There are settings like key-tracking sensitivity with their own unfamiliar controls. I have no idea how to imitate those correctly.
It seems to me that sampling multiple velocity layers might be a better way. But how many layers would be enough to reproduce the original sound accurately? Do velocity crossfades help? Does this work at all?
Any kind advice is very appreciated. Thanks!
