Hello there! I have a question , is there any software that can help me to edit KSC files ? Something similar with PCG tools especially for KSC. I just want to organize my samples without spend my whole day. Thank you in advanced!

You should tell us what do you want exactly ? Because edit and organize, not the same issue !

The Translator 6, from Chicken System, can handle most of sample format and convert them into other formats. I suppose you could convert them in WAV format first, then edit in any software (Audacity, Soundforge for example, or even Chickensys Constructor), then convert back in KSC format.
Here is the link : http://www.chickensys.com/support2/software/translator/

Here's a video you could watch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq3Gk7J7acU

I've never used it, so I can't say anything about it. But given the description, I suppose it does the job.

Hi,

KSC files are actually human readable text files, following a defined structure that is explained in one of the Korg Manuals, so you could do some low down editing if needed.

But do of course back up your original KSC file first

Having said that, you don't articulate what sort of editing you wish to do?

At some point I might put KSC editing capability into the kronos.factory tool I am writing, but that is some way off yet.

Resuming this post coz i'm searching a way to "organize/rearrange" the KSC files.
To be more specific, my goal is to "build a custom PCG" using/mixing patches from the factory and the expansion EXs.

I used PCG Tools to edit/build my custom PCG and actually it works, but with the limitation that you must load every KSC file from every EXs you used to build the custom PCG.

This means that you can go out of the virtual memory space if the used EXs are very big or are too much!

So my goal is to build my custom PCG and to build a related custom KSC pointing to the necessary samples only. This way i can create dedicated sets of PCG/KSC files picking sound/patches from the huge EXs collection i have.

PCG Tools can't do that.
Korg Creator can't do that.
Dunno if the Kronos editor can do.

If there isn't a way to do that, i think this is the very biggest Kronos limit! and i think that a deep sw editor - like i.e. an "Kronos PCG/KSC Builder" - that can manage the optional EXS expansions became a missing mandatory tool!

You're welcome

Although the Kronos is an incredible powerful machine, where I am still learning after 5.5 years of usage, and still happy playing and gigging with it, an improved and automatic "Load Required Samples" function would be useful.

Or indeed this option as part of a PCGTools like software. But PCGtools is already a powerful package developed with voluntary sweat and tears. So that might be too much to ask.

Best thing indeed would be if on the next generation Kronos there would be an option that checks all missing multisamples in the entire PCG and loads only the single required and missing ones. And not per program, as it is now, and with a slightly improved method (avoiding still wanting to load an entire library)
