I would be happy to share; as soon as I figure out how to post them I will.

As I said, at http://www.korgpatches.com you can upload your patches and share them with others.

The only preparation you need is to save your patches as PCG file - if it's more than one sound, the most convenient way would be to copy all sounds you like to share into an otherwise empty bank, go to disk mode, select "Save PCG" from the menu and uncheck everything except the bank containing your programs. Just save it to a thumb drive and upload the resulting PCG.

.Jens,
I've never loaded any new sounds into my Kronos so this is why I'm asking. Do I have to specify a destination first before I load sounds or does the Kronos do it automatically? I have upgraded to 1.5 so I obviously have lots of memory slots. I'm always concerned with overwriting something that I don't want to lose.

For the moment, you don't actually have to load something into the kronos to share sounds - so there is little to be concerned about.

Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the procedure of saving and loading PCGs - that's always a good idea to know at least for backups. Once you have a backup PCG, you can always go back and restore everything - that makes editing a lot more fun Wink

For a start, just take a FAT32 USB thumb drive, put it into the back of your kronos. As an exercise, let's create a backup. In disk mode, go to the "save" tab, select your thumb drive:"RDD: $name-of-your-drive$" (below the file browser list). Now, you choose "Save All" from the dropdown menu - and the PCG will be written to the root of the thumb drive (actually you give it a name, first). You can also browse to a different location or create new directories in advance (utility tab), if you like. Quite the same procedure applies to saving a single bank (use "Save PCG" here, instead).

To sort your new organs into an empty bank, you can do that (if there are only a few) one by one by just "write program" and assigning the program to a slot in the bank you like. If the name of the assigned slot is something like "Init...program", you won't lose anything. Sorting and moving programs in batch is a more advanced task - maybe later Wink

Your question regarding the loading of sounds: That's a bit tricky. If you just load a PCG as a whole, it will eventually overwrite the contents you have. That's one more reason to backup regularly. But in the file browser of the kronos, you can dig into the PCG like a folder. So you can also load even single sounds out of huge collections and assign them to a free slot.

As an example: if you browse to "EXAMPLE.PCG/Programs/U-AA" and hit "load", you will be asked "Load bank U-AA to... [List select bank]", so you are free to decide. Same applies to loading single sounds.

You only have to be careful if you load multiple banks at once, or a PCG file as a whole.

I see, I think. So far I have a lot of my own sounds but they tend to be in the first user banks. As for organ sounds I generally just use one that I put together myself. But thanks for all the help anyway. Tonight is not a good night to get into all of that but this weekend I certainly can.

bump!

So this was never uploaded to Korgpatches? I'm actually looking for something like this.
