I would like to know this too.
I no longer have my MicroKorg, but somewhere have a huge archive of programs I made for it.

I know (and warn you) that they would not come out perfect and need tweaking as the radias parameter ranges are different to those of the MS2k engine.

In one version of that microKorg editor the .PRG files were actually just standard MIDI files with a single track containing the sysex data. I can't remember if that was the PC or Mac version. I actually have a PC utility I wrote for a friend strips sysex messages out of MIDI files and saves them as .syx files. My MS2K->Radias converted is then able to use those.

What format are the files you have X-Trade ? Do you want to send me an example file to look at ? Let me know whether it is from the PC or Mac.

I will see if i can dig them out.
I say I have them... they are somewhere - clearly hidden away because I am not using them.

They are definately PRG files from the windows editor.
I think it was the mac version that were just sysex files. I also seem to recall that the two were not intercompatible (the files between mac and PC editors I mean)

:-)

Thanks.

Just one single file will do ...

... as I just want to remind myself which uses which format. We both seem to be recalling the same thing, which is promising.
