Is there a Librarian/Editor dedicated to the Kronos out there?
In the same way that there were ones for the older synths.
Cheers

Hi.
You have PCGTools as the PCG librarian, and Korg’s own editor.
I am also writing a Java based librarian for the Kronos which is cross platform and will run on OS X and Linux as well as PC. I’ve posted details on progress in previous posts here. _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

Thanks
Re PCG tools, Librarian and Korg Editor ... are these resident on the Kronos itself or an app for Mac/Windows?
Cheers

Many thanks Derek, you responses have been very helpful.
Having been used to the concept of transferring data by sys ex data and then editing and sorting, I need to re-understand how to manage my libraries and editing re the Kronos indifferent ways. I have read about using a DVD but with what drive? Are the USB ports for transferring data via usb memory sticks?
Cheers again

The USB ports support removeable drives- thumb, DVD, SD (with an adaptor). I don't think it supports DVD RW- and why bother? Thumb drives are the preferred method. Ian I believe there is a wired networking option too. _________________ "To me the synthesizer was always a source of new sounds that musicians could use to expand the range of possibilities for making music."

Hi
DVD is only useful for restoring your Kronos from the restore DVDs.
As Ron says, use USB thumb drives for general data transfer.
Or the other option (more technical to set up) is to use a USB/Ehternet adapter (I use the apple one) to create a network connection between the Kronos and your computer (some people have also had success using the motherboard network port inside the Kronos, if you are prepared to go that route). With the network connection you can use FTP to transfer data.
PS: noticed you are from God's Green and Pleasant land , whereabouts are you? I live in Cardigan area. _________________ Derek Cook - Java Developer

Thanks Derek
I have several setlists that I rely on and these of course rely on combis that I have created from factory programs.
I have been considering buying a new mk2 88 but I enjoy the portability of the 73 (dont need the extra notes really)
So, the plan is to update my 73 (X) with the latest Korg soundest but I’m trying to find the best way to do this without losing my setlists and related data. (Having updated the CX3 soundset sometime ago which seemed to upset the existing relationships between progs, combis, drumtracks and Karma sequences... I must avoid the same thing happening again)

Some good info here. I think the main point here is not to "load" the new PCG when installing the sound sets. Instead open the PCG and find the bank of programs and or combinations that you want and then load them into specific banks, preferably the ones that are empty. You will need to load any sample data that comes with the upgrade, but you do not necessarily need to load any of the new programs and or combinations. And be sure to back everything up. You can always get your set lists out of a backed-up PCG file. _________________ "To me the synthesizer was always a source of new sounds that musicians could use to expand the range of possibilities for making music."

There are currently several applications which all have their pros and cons.
For PCG Tools, see the link in my signature. _________________
