Combine two different sets to one set?

yero · Post by **yero** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:54 pm

Hello,

I have been going crazy trying to figure out how to combine sets. Since the set has kmp files I cannot overwrite. What is the best way to take sty and sounds from one set and make one good set? Thank you.

There is no best way, it is the most discussed topic on the forum, do some
research and pretty soon you will give up on it.

Why doesn't korg make a external tool for the users????????

Pay $10,000 to MickB (a user/software developer on the forum) and he will very quickly extend the XRM software so it will solve the problem for you ... or you can wait patiently like the rest of us, and MickB will solve the problem for you eventually.

You can use XRM as a librarian now, but only for styles that use factory sounds. See, http://www.palibrarian.net/

Best regards,
Rob

Why should I pay Mick 10,000 when this is important for the user. Plus this will make the product sell better because no one has it. I paid 3k for the keyboard and now need to pay 10k to the guy.

Got one word to say FIX IT!

That was a taste of Rob's sense of humour. I know how important it is for the user, I am a user too!!
And I am trying my best to develop a tool as quick as possible. I am just as fed up as everyone else is combining sets. however I have other commitments as well - "ah work the curse of the drinking class" as someone famous once said, but I can't remember who!!

Mick am I dreaming or are you not still needing the decryption algorythm from Korg to be able to really develop a great tool ?

I know EMC is waiting to.. as today EMC will not work with a PA2.PA800.

Mick,

You rock!!!!! and everyone else in this forum.

Mick - I wouldn't be able to use the palibrarian to make changes to my styles?

Hi yero,

Yes, that was my "strange" sense of humour, it's a topic I have been passionate about and now I am very disappointed.

Having said that, Korg did introduce a full "Midi to Style" conversion tool in OS2 and that is extremely useful and is probably the basis on which user software needs to process styles from other machines.

Best regards,
Rob

Yes Lee you're right. I still need that algorithm however in between working, editing the next installment of "Korg Arranger Secrets" DVD and having a life I am chiping away at that algorithm and thanks to Alain and others I now understand how it works and just need to translate that in useable functions and a proper library to finally crack it.

That correct. however PAL can be used as a tool in combining sets. you can save the step of having to write out the locations in memory of the user sounds you need to use. you can print them out using PAL. and then you can use XRM to combine your styles in one go and then edit your styles on the PA to point to the correct User sounds.

Mick,
That's great!

...Once you crack it they may as well give it to us...there will be no need to have it 'encrypted' anymore!

Mick: To compensate for your time and the expenses, would you please come up with some monetary numbers so if that is acceptable to all, perhaps we can donate some toward this project. I know at one point, everyone was ready to share the expense.
How about it?? This issue will not be solved unless it is put to the rest.

You also mentioned about using both PAL and XRM to combine the sets. Is it possible to write it stepwise understandable to some of us.

We've all seen this topic coming up over and over. Obviously lots of users suffer from this. Does anybody know if there's been an official response from korg about this problem? Dumping it on the shoulder of a user to do it for free doesn't seem to work very well. Has this been a problem ever since arranger series came out?

Hi everybody. I just purchased a PA800 few days ago, and ever since been trying to figure this combining sets out. When i searched the topic, I was surprised to see how often it had been asked already. I am disappointed very much because for my gigs i would need to do lots of combining. Lots of time is going to be wasted over a process that could've been spent making music. It definitely sounds like a library manger that you guys are talking about. I'm off to a bad start already. I feel like i was so exited for nothing. Looks like this keyboard is more designed for people who are happy with factory sounds/styles.
