Hi,
Can’t help with the 1000, but I did play around with the sampler on my pa800, a few years back. Drum loops had me intrigued at the time. Also played around with drum samples. At the time I wanted to convert a couple of the Ketron styles across to korg, only way I figured I would get something close t to ketron drums was from samples. At the time I think it was wav files, but my Pa4x I think uses sound fonts. Haven’t tried it in years. I did use the drum samples in my user styles, also the drum loops.


Unfortunately don’t know if 1000 has all the sampling features of the Pa4x, but did you download some sort of an extended user manual. Korg tends to split the manuals up into every day stuff, and the extended features.
