Korg microSTATION. Saving favourite presets for easy access

[jakemuss50]

Has anyone been able to save their "favourite" sounds to this instrument? After reading the manual which seemed to indicate it could be done, I've had no success. Like a lot of gigging musicians I am usually using any one of aprox. 12 sounds that I'd like to be able to access instantly rather than trolling through the various groups of instruments. I do have a SD card with plenty of storage on it.
Hoping someone here can assist.

You can overwrite the sounds to USER and you will have them in one group and easily accessible. Even the USER tools can be added to individual groups, for example, under LEAD. . I prefer them in the USER box. After Backup, back up. Back up to SD - Global - Media - Save PCG ALL.

Thanks so much arpegiator1. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

I have since downloaded the full manual but even more confused. Would you mind listing the steps to overwrite the sounds to a USER group please from turning on the mS.
My desire is to be able to turn on the mS, select where my user file is and play, using the Function buttons 01–16 to select my sounds. (Can I load a mixture of prog and combi sounds into USER?)

No. You can not smoke the program and the Combi. After moving your programs and Comby into the Category User you must press the Program button - select Category - User. After that Combi - choose Category - User. Then you just have to select a specific program and just switch between Program and Comby, the setting will stay, so you can switch bet betting during the game.

Can you overwrite sounds to USER?
First I recommend backup, so save to SD card - GLOB / MEDIA - MEDIA - SAVE ALL. You do not need an editor for it. In Microstation first GLOB / MEDIA - BASIC -MEMORY PROTECT -PROGRAM-OFF.
Then you go into the program you want to retire. Mapper. 001 L / R PIANO - ARROW TO RIGHT - DOWN ARROW UP - WRITE PROGRAM - ARROW TO RIGHT - DOWN - CAT - KEYBOARD CHANGE TO USER - DOWN ARROW - SAVE TO 001 A. It overwrites only the end of the USER the program is still stored in position one in the pianos (see in the editor), but in Microstation it is in the USER section, easily accessible.

In case you (or anyone else following or coming across this thread) still needs the info, it is detailed in the my post in the thread at:

Not directly, but yes, by creating new combis that consist of nothing but the single program you need. Then you're technically still only switching between combis, but since some of combis consist of nothing but single programs, the end result is that you have a mix of combis and "single programs" under your 16 User select buttons, so you don't have to switch modes to access your favorite programs vs. you favorite combis.
