I don't understand the difference between .bkp and .set

If you load the .bkp you could save a set file from it?

Yes , you can.

I thought many times about it. Indeed, the difference between these two types of file is really unclear. In addition, the usefulness of each of these two types of file is not explicitly explained in both the Quick Guide and the Reference Guide of the Korg Pa600.

So, this is what I think about it: It appears that the .bkp and .set files constitute two different ways to save data. The .bkp way can be used to save all your Musical Resources (Sounds, Performances and Styles), but also to load them all. On the other hand, the .set way is useful to save just a part of the data (or even all the data). In this case, it is possible to load any subset of the data (or even all the data) from the .set file.

However, the text I just wrote above is only my interpretation of what Korg wanted to explain in the Korg Pa600 Quick Guide where it is written:

"In case you customize your Musical Resources (Sounds, Performances and Styles), we suggest you use the Media > Utility > Full Resource Backup command to make frequent backup copies into compact archives. Also, you can use the Media > Save All command to save files that you can separately reload one by one.
To restore a backup, use the Media > Utility > Full Resource Restore."

Back'up is used if we edit factory Sounds and save them in same place. Only a backup can restore that. I'm talking about pa600/900/3xle

No! Backup is not the only way to restore Factory Sounds. In fact, there are AT LEAST two ways: reload the Backup data or use the Factory Restore procedure.

From page 146 of the Korg Pa600 Reference Guide:
Note: Should you accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload the Backup data or use the Factory Restore procedure (Media > Utility).

From page 170 of the Korg Pa600 Reference Guide:
Factory Restore
In case you want to erase all changes to your Factory and User data, and restore your Pa600 to the same condition it was when it was new, you can use the Factory Restore procedure. Warning: This command deletes all data from memory (including your custom data).

If i edit in Oscilators an Acordeon sound from factory, with backup is the only way to preserve that. If i do a factory restore, the sound will revert to original state, so i lose my editing. So, like i said before, "backup" is the ONLY WAY to preserve "EDITED Factory Sounds"
