I didn't try sampling directly from the Esx-1.
I,m sure mine has the same problem, i'm gonna try
to do a test this week.
I just loaded samples from smartmedia and it sounds normal.
But this 60% volume problem from the original source when
sampling is absolutly unacceptable.
Has someone tried to contact Korg's customer
support about this issue ?

Yea, i know a lot of folks ( previously including myself ) whine about
not having precise control over the sounds of sample drums etc. This
is one area where i feel using samples gains me the most benifit. I
get to use pro produced drum samples and lay down my drum tracks
quickly. Alternativly I can sample any number of synth'ed drum sounds
from my evolver , monopoly etc and use those.
My only gripe with the esx-1 is that when you sample your own sounds
with the esx-1 they are very quiet and often unusable. In contrast it
has no problem playing back samples from my DAW.... I hear this will
be fixed in a software update shortly. Otherwise , I love it.
