Hi if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
I have a Korg M1 that I'm using . On my gig I only use 3 sounds from it
most of gig is done with my Kronos.
Here's what I'm looking to do.
Ive just bought a new moxf6 to go under my Kronos so Im putting my
M1 away. I have 3 sounds I would love to get from the m1 to the K.
As I can't find a way to convert these .sysex files to pcg I'll need to sample them to k.
I have a fair idea how to set this up and get m1 to sound tru sampling
Page But I'm lost after that. Do I sample each note ..? How do I save it so the m1 sound can be recalled on set list mode.
Hope I explained myself correctly
Can anyone help me please.😭😭

Most of the M1 soundsources are already in the Kronos, so the sounds could probably be recreated in the Kronos. Which three sounds are they?

Tenor sax and brass Combi I made.
Strings and synth brass.

Hi there,

Voip's idea is correct as one solution is you could write down the needed M1 program parameters and reproduce them in the K using the same waveforms and similar values, etc.

Another way is as you mention to simply sample the sound. For brass, I would sample one key every three notes in the middle section and one every four when you reach the lower and upper ends. Using a waveform editor, it is actually easy to find out where the original sampled keys were taken and spread for a few keys each, as their visual characteristics will look similar until another one is used, which will look rather different. You can also figure this out listening to the loops.

For saxophone, you might go more with samples every two keys in the center and less going closer to the keyboard extremities, since the quality of the samples in the M1 were not so extraordinary compared to nowadays synths.

So once you sampled your keys for each sound (3 to 4 seconds each is way enough for a synth like the M1), spread them on the K keys as sampled, then use crossfade looping for near to imperceptible loops. You can use a software for this or the K's internal utilities. Read the parameter guide - all the info is there.

From there, save the sample data as a program. To simplify adjusting the envelope parameters and so on for each sound, a little trick is to check the "Use Destination Program Parameters" option of a similar sound on the Kronos.

Thank you so much for your reply and time .
But I'm so not technically minded at all in this field.
Do you know of any software that converts .sysex to pcg.?
that really would be the answer.
I've seem somewhere the m1 factory files are downloadable for korg krome .... Why not for Kronos..?
So all I can do is try my best with it. I really appreciate your reply.
Thanks guys.
