4. Technical information

KORG format ﬁle structure

There are three types of ﬁles: KMP ﬁles for multisamples, KSF ﬁles for samples, and KSC ﬁles

which handle the ﬁrst two as a collection. Similar to the IFF format, KMP/KSF ﬁles consist of

chunks. The fourth character of the chunk ID is the chunk format ID, and if adding chunks to

expand the speciﬁcation is not sufﬁcient, this format ID will change.

Unless stated otherwise, all data is MSByte ﬁrst.

KMP (KORG Multisample Parameter) ﬁles

This consists of one multisample parameter chunk, and relative parameter chunks.

• Multisample parameter chunk

Chunk ID (‘MSP1’) [4 bytes]

Chunk size (ﬁxed at 18) [4 bytes]

Multisample name [16 bytes]
