Thanks for that Greg.
However, lockdown has meant lots more time to spend on projects, and I was determined this would not beat me!!
After a good night's sleep (!) I returned to the Kronos and loaded the PCG file into PCG Tools - the problem was that the PCG file only had the program references that made up the combi, not the program names! So, after downloading ALL the voice lists for every Kronos version, I searched through all the permutations of each reference in each generation's list and fed them into different versions of the combi in the Kronos. PATIENTLY!
Eventually, I think I've found a pretty good version, not exactly the same as the original M3 version, but close!
So, it was frustration really that made me write this post originally (and working into the small hours!); so with sleep, a bit of patience and a smidgen of bloody mindedness, I really feel a sense of accomplishment! Also made me painfully aware of how much time and effort went into creating these amazing combis in the first place!
Right, I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room

I use Kronos drums in my songs , often Karma enhanced.
To analyze, the diffs in this Combi, might be the pattern, plus what Karma does to the drum pattern. Which is why 'remapping ' does not work , is my guess.
If you like, post the M3 Combi on SoundCloud [ your choice]. Then isolate a 2nd recording of the drum track so I can hear it and analyze it, from a Kronos point of view.
Stephen at Karma Labs likely will have a solution. Try there.
