Preload - N364

Hi,
I need to do a preload on my Korg N364, but the floppy drive is not working. Can I do this via midi cable? What software do I use?

I've tried to do this using the software MIDI-OX, but to send the files to preload .Syx or PCG, keyboard appears in the message processing and does not charge any sound.

Thanks,

Vander

check your settings in global mode - make sure under MIDI filter it says EXCL:ENA - by default it is NOT set to this. also make sure program, combination, and global data is not protected in global mode.

I checked the settings in the global model - MIDI filter EX: ENA are items 3C and 3D. The Program, Combination, and global data is not protected.
You have these files in a format Syx preload?

Is it possible to send the sounds (tones) by Cakewalk 9? How do I do that?

if you have the PCG file, try this program: http://www.newhouse.nl/xedit/xedit313.zip

I never used it, but supposedly you can convert a PCG to a sysex file through it.

Alternatively, try this program: http://www.gnmidi.com/utils/dmppcg.zip

It's actually written for the Korg i3, but should work with the X3/N364. you can use it to do a sysex send of a PCG file, but you need to use a DOS prompt.

Hi, I'm new in this forum and want to give something back as a way to say thanks.

I own a Korg N364, with a broken floppy disk drive, and I needed to restore the original presets for programs and combinations. I tried xedit313 and worked perfectly. I only needed to download the original presets directly from Korg's website (http://www.korguksupport.co.uk/Page.cfm?PageId=355). I downloaded the "Standard Factory Preload".
Once xedit was installed, and the midi cable correctly connected, I just needed to send the preload.pcg file to the keyboard. I selected X3 as the target keyboard, as they are compatible.

There are some nice YouTub-e videos which explain the detailed process (including MIDI conection, N364 or X3 configuration and more).

Hope it helps, thanks for your interest.
Best regards.
