I am looking for the best method to convert logic files to a format recognized by my kronos so I can import the sounds into the workstation. Is there anyone who may be able to help guide me in the direction to do this?

I guess you need then to export to the PCG format. If you need specs for it, I can help you with it. I don't know anything about Logic files (I thought it is a sequencer without own sounds).

Yes I believe Logic files are 24bit 96k and kronos is 24 bit 48k. I have never converted any files of any type so I am not familiar with how to do this. Would the process you are referring to do this?

No in that case you probably don't need to only convert PCG but mostly samples, examine KSF files for that. Also I don't have experience with sample files. Sharp knows a lot about it.

If you're talking about taking your audio across to the sequencer... then I expect Kronos will import WAV or AIFF samples. Equally you don't need to convert to KMP and KSF in external software, the sampling mode should take care of that for you.

It really depends what you want to take across, and in what detail. For example you could take your finished recording as a stereo wav and just use that as a backing track pre-mixed on a pair of tracks in the sequencer... Or you could put each track individually on an audio track in the sequencer (provided you don't have too many).
Or take the MIDI (performance) data from your plugin/MIDI tracks in Logic and put them on the Kronos using Kronos' own sounds that sound similar (or different if you like). Or take that further and recreate or sample some of the sounds you are using in Logic to use as program sounds in the Kronos.

Or any combination of the above (within reason).

If youre taking about exs24 samples they go right in to the kronos. I will elaborate more when I'm back from my gig if u.need me to

I thought you meant you wanted to create an app to convert it into KSF/PCG etc. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

Yes if you could please elaborate when you get a chance. The exs samples will work but will the other sounds work as well?

At this point being able to just importing them in without using an audio cable to manually sample them is sufficient enough. I can set other parameters as needed once I have them imported into kronos. If there is a way to migrate the individual sounds with the loop points, velocity, etc. that would only be icing on the cake. My main concern is just importing in a recognized format, but if you know a way to do the latter as well please do share...
