PCG Tools

Hello everyone, I own a Microstation and I just read I can use the pcg tools.

What does exactly Pcg Tools do?

Am I able to load and use different banks, like Triton's and stuff?

Is the computer specs important or it's just the interface to transfer the bank?
Can i use the the microstation editor with a Triton bank?

Thanks

The microSTATION section in this forum might be more appropriate.

The answers to a couple of your questions can be found here:

There's no harm in experimenting generally, but remember to back up all the stuff on the microSTATION first.

Programs and Combis from the M3 and M50 are more likely to stand a chance of being compatible.

Already answsered on the PCG Tools FB thread:

Shortly: if your Microstation can read a PCG file (from Triton), you can use PCG Tools to edit it.

On the main web site is a manual and more info (see the link in my logo below).

Why only Triton pcg works with the Microstation?
Thanks again!

I think microStation PCG files work too (but I have to check)... did you try?

Or do you mean why you cannot use e.g. Kronos PCG files in a microStation? Because each model has different samples/synth engines/parameters etc, so most models are not compatible with eachother. Only some models are somewhat compatible;

Korg Tritons / microStation
Korg Triton / Karma
Korg M50 / Korg M3
Korg Kronos / Korg Oasys

(maybe I miss some)
