Save RAM on Modern Samplers with a 90s Trick (Korg drumlogue demo)
In this video, you’ll learn a practical, old-school method to pack more samples into limited memory by lowering sample rates the smart way—then restoring playback speed in your sampler I'll use the Korg Drumlogue to the shows the full workflow, but the idea applies to many hardware samplers that auto-convert on import.
What you’ll learn
The two values of digital sampling: bit depth (dynamic range) and sample rate (frequency content).
Why lowering sample rate reduces size and how Nyquist sets the high‑frequency limit.
