Krome EX compatibility with original Krome - SD Card Upload

Post by Hobson »

I'm using an original Krome in one location and a Krome EX in another.

I had no problem loading User Combinations from the original into the EX.

Is it safe to Load all PCG saved from a Krome EX into a Krome original?

FYI: My experience is that files saved on an SD card from the original Krome can be loaded into Krome EX. Once I did that and saved the PGC that had the original Krome patches added, the original Krome not longer recognized the SD card.

Krome ex comes with new multisamples and programs, perhaps stored on a user bank, I consider you would have to be cautious when loading data from an EX pcg into a normal krome. Besides that it should be ok. Don't load programs or combis that use that sound data.

As it turns out, I spoke too soon.

While it is true that the EX will load the Combis from stored pgc files from an original Krome, the EX does not load the correct Programs into the Combis.

As far as I can figure out, for all practical purposes, with the exception I mentioned earlier in this thread, the Krome EX files are incompatible with the original Krome.
