I have a Korg Trinity V3 with HDR, PBS and DI options. I have been recording songs (audio and MIDI) onto an Iomega Jaz 2Gb drive. The cartridge I have been using seems to have been corrupted, and when played back most of the songs cause a fatal system error on the Korg. I have tried various workarounds, e.g. loading the songs from the dodgy cartridge and saving them immediately onto a different cartridge, but it doesn't solve the problem. So I copied all the data on the cartridge onto my PC via a Jaz Traveller connection to the parallel port. I was hoping to get the data into Cubase SX3 to continue working on it there.

The files from the cartridge have .SNG and .ASG extensions. I'm pretty sure the .SNG files coontain the MIDI data, and I have recovered the MIDI data anyway using the 'save as standard midi' option on the Trinity. I suspect the .ASG files contain the audio, but I have found no way of unpacking these files on the PC to attempt to recover the audio tracks/takes. Does anyone know of a way of doing this? Question

Search the Trinity section for the word partition. You might find something that can help you there as a few people tried to extract the audio data before.

Thanks for the pointer. The search came up with 21 posts, and I had a look at all of them. The most relevant was here:

But it seems Korg never documented how the audio was stored, and although people think it would be a great idea, no-one has yet found the answer. It's a great shame, because I can't imagine Korg are still using the technology concerned, so there is no commercial need to keep the information confidential.
