MSMPL_BANK File Extension

Korg microSAMPLER Bank Data File – file format by Korg

MSMPL_BANK is a file extension for Korg microSAMPLER Bank Data Files, a proprietary format developed by Korg for storing sound samples and instrument data for use with their microSAMPLER hardware sampler.

MSMPL_BANK File Format

A MSMPLBANK file stores sample bank data used by Korg microSAMPLER, a discontinued hardware sampler released in 1993. It contains a collection of sample data, including audio waveforms, loops, and other related information. MSMPLBANK files are structured in a proprietary format specific to the microSAMPLER and are not compatible with other software or hardware devices.

Uses of MSMPL_BANK Files

MSMPLBANK files play a crucial role in providing the microSAMPLER with the necessary audio content. They allow users to load and manipulate various samples within the sampler’s limited memory capacity. By organizing samples into banks, users can efficiently access and manage a large number of sounds within a single file. MSMPLBANK files enable users to create and share custom sample libraries, facilitating the exchange of musical ideas and compositions.

Software

Korg microSAMPLER (Windows, Mac)

Instructions

  1. Launch Korg microSAMPLER.
  2. Go to the “File” menu and select “Open.”
  3. Navigate to the location of the MSMPL_BANK file and select it.
  4. Click “Open” to import the bank data into Korg microSAMPLER.

Additional Notes

  • Korg microSAMPLER is a software synthesizer that emulates the sound of the classic Korg microSAMPLER hardware sampler.
  • MSMPL_BANK files contain a collection of samples that can be used with Korg microSAMPLER.
  • When opening a MSMPL_BANK file, Korg microSAMPLER will automatically load the samples into its internal sampler engine.
  • The samples can then be used to create new sounds or to replace existing samples in current projects.
  • Korg microSAMPLER provides a variety of features for editing and manipulating samples, including pitch, amplitude, and envelope controls.
  • The software also includes a number of built-in effects that can be used to process samples.

MSMPL_BANK File Format

The MSMPL_BANK file extension is associated with the Korg microSAMPLER, a hardware sampler device released by Korg in the early 2000s. This file format stores bank data for the sampler, which contains a collection of waveform samples, envelopes, and other sound parameters used to create electronic music.

The MSMPL_BANK file format is a binary format that is specific to the Korg microSAMPLER. It is not compatible with other samplers or music software, and it cannot be directly accessed or modified by users. The file structure is designed to efficiently store and organize the large amount of data required for sample-based sound synthesis.
