Hi Ramin,
To save you doing a lot of searching and reading for the older threads in which this has been discussed, here are the main points:
Notes about loading and merging .SET files
a) Loading .SET files from unknown sources and older keyboards is dangerous and can lead to data corruption and faults on your keyboard.
b) The only safe .SETs are those developed and saved from the same keyboard and OS version as you are using. They must not contain GLOBAL or SONGBOOK sub-folders or else you will have problems with your own important data being overwritten.
c) There is no automatic way to merge the contents of two or more .SET files, and loading .SET files developed by unknown people will usually overwrite your own data. See exceptions which follow below.
d) If User sounds are developed to use only factory samples, then these can be saved in a .SET file and given to other people and they can merge them with their own Sound data by using the OPEN procedure to find and load the individual sounds within the PCG file in the SOUND subfolder.
e) If user styles are developed to use only factory sounds, then these can be saved in a .SET file and given to other people and they can merge them with their own Style data by using the OPEN procedure to find and load the individual styles within the STY file in the STYLE subfolder.
f) Merging of .SET files containing User Sounds or User Styles which make use of User Samples is almost impossible for most users to do. It can be done if you have a lot of patience and experience with the Pa keyboard and if you are very technically minded.
g) Replacing factory Sounds or Styles with user Sounds or Styles is not recommended. You will lose all your work when the next OS upgrade is installed. There is no way to save and restore any of the work you have done.
h) One forum member, MickB (Mick Barry) is developing software in an attempt to solve some of the above restrictions and do the merging of .SET files automatically and safely. Due to lack of assistance from Korg for this, the development is going very slowly.
Nedim,
Could you please add this summary about .SET files to your on-line how-to section?
Best regards,
Rob
