Hi all.
Have a Korg Kross Music Workstation. I am TRYING to convert existing MP# and M4P files to MIDI to play in my Korg Kross Musistation, but no luck.
Is there ANY way I can use the SD slot or the USB IN on my KORG to act as a 'pass through' to play from my SD (or my connected laptop) to plat existing songs from my music library through my Korg out onto my Speaker (which is connected to my Korg). You get the idea.
Any help!?
Need help converting from MP3 *OR* using input USB or SD fro

MIDI contains just note data, e.g. note number and velocity, and control change and program change messages. It contains no audio data. There is software out there, e.g. Digital Ear, that can convert audio files to MIDI data files. The conversion can be a bit of a hit an miss process if the MP3 audio content is complex. The MIDI data can then be used to trigger notes using other timbres e.g. the MIDI file generated from an original MP3 guitar piece could then be used to play back the MIDI notes using a piano timbre.
If what you want to do is mix audio from an MP3 file together with sounds played on the Kross, there are several ways of doing that.
1) Use an MP3 player, which could be a smartphone, or computer, as an audio source and make that one pair of inputs (L & R) to an audio mixer, and the Kross L & R audio out as another pair of inputs to the mixer. The mixer L & R audio out then goes to your PA/active speakers, or whatever. To hear the mix on headphones would require the headphones to be connected to the mixer.
2) Convert the MP3 file to a WAV file at 16-bit samples, 48kHz sample rate. This can then be imported into the Kross' audio recorder and played back that way. It effectively becomes a track of a multitrack recording, with all the facilities that offers.
3) Send audio from an external MP3 player, as in 1) above, to the Kross Line-in input as a stereo signal, and enable the Kross audio-in. This can then be passed through the Kross' effects to the audio recorder, but it should also be possible to monitor the audio mix through headphones.
