For those who are already using the application or want to know more about the working of every function and setting: the manual for PCG Tools can be downloaded at:
www.korgforums.com/support/kronos/Manual%20PCG%20Tools.pdf
The manual is from Version 0.9 BETA while the (latest) application is 0.1.5 but functionally it is more or less equal. I hope to upgrade both the manual and application soon to 1.0.0 and continue to add functionaly afterwards.
There are lots of screen shots, tips and examples.
(Thanks to Sharp for upload, including future uploads for the manual). _________________

New Update
PCG Tools 1.0.0
Finally, after about two and a half month since the last update I think it is time to get this application out of beta stage.
The application has been betatested and after not getting serious bug reports and fixed some issues I think it is safe to publish the application. However as always: please report bugs and issues and always make sure you have a backup.
Below is a full list of changes, there are no real features, except for the manual which is already published by Sharp (Thanks Sharp!) and hopefully he will upload the new version of the manual soon.
The counter of users is currently almost 450. Thanks for all the nice mails I have received until now.
The next topic to be covered will be cut & paste (as opposed to copy & paste). I expect the next update will not take another 2,5 months.
Kind regards,
Michel

PCG Tools 1.0.1: because the command for Move Up and Move Down were broken, a bug fix is performed.
However, another issue has been introduced which cannot be solved yet (see Known Issues List at http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=410864#410864).
Also, until further notice the Move Up and Move Down commands only are active when exactly one patch is selected.
I will now concentrate on new functionality, since the Move Up and Move Down commands are now usable again.
Below is the complete list of changes:
Code: |
1.0.1.167 18-Apr-2012 Improv: Added Karo to External links window.
Bug Fix: To prevent issues, move up/down patches only works for single selection.

PCG Tools 1.1.0
Finally a new update. As promised, I would add cut/paste functionality.
Now programs, combis, set lists and also complete banks can be cut and pasted (and of course copying them was already possible and is not changed).
The main advantage is that when cutting patches and pasting them, all references will automatically be changed to the new paste location.
Cut/paste is only possible within a PCG file (otherwise you can use Copy/paste).
Small example:
Cut in this example program I-A000.
Then paste it to location U-G013. Notice that e.g. for the combination I-A000, the Kronos German Grand is automatically now referencing the new location U-G013:
Also some other items have been added or changed.
Of course the manual is also changed accordingly and probably will be updated soon by Sharp.
Below is the full list of changes.
Code: |
1.1.0.168 6-May-2012 Feature: Cut/Paste functionality, renamed copy/paste occurences to cut/copy/paste.
Improv: Changed text of hints in Cut/Copy/Paste settings.
Improv: Removed Copy/Paste Help button and dialog text (not needed now manual is available).
Improv: Added Supernatural Heroes to External links window.
Bug Fix: Prevented crash when clearing combis for workstation not supporting sub categories.
Bug Fix: Fixed keyboard short cut text for Move Up and Move Down commands in menu.

PCG Tools update 1.2.0
After more than a month it is time for another update.
Actually it is more an in between update, because this time there is no added functionality, however maybe some of you like to see the new user interface. Also a bug is fixed.
And a new splash screen has been introduced which shows one of the several donators every time the application is launched. It is only shown for a few seconds so I am sure it will not be considered as advertisement. Actually, it is another thanks to those people who appreciated my app and donated a fee.
Below are some screen shots of the new splash screen, UI and thank you screen.
Splash screen example:
New UI example 1:
New UI example 2:
New UI example 3:
Oasys Donators screen:
Hereafter I will fix an M3 problem (if possible) and more SNG file functionality.
The manual will be updated later.
Below is the full change set.
Code: |
1.2.0.174 25-Jun-2012 Improv: New theme/UI look for the complete software (thanks to Vanni).
Improv: Added splash screen with a random donator name/logo.
Improv: New screen for thanking Oasys donators of Korg Kronos voucher codes.
Bug Fix: Fixed menu items for setting cut/copy/paste settings and exiting cut/copy/paste mode.

PCG Tools 1.2.1
Because some people notified me of several small bugs and because I could fix most of them reasonably easily I decided to publish an inbetween update with some improvements and some bugs being fixed.
The M3 v1/v2 bug is still in place and will be solved within the next 3 weeks hopefully.
The most important improvements and resolved bugs are wrapping the widgets in case of making the PCG window small (appeciated by users of small screens probably) as in an example shown below, the splash screen being displayed longer and the program IDs of banks U-AA to U-GG being displayed completely.
Below is the complete list.
Code: |
1.2.1.179 1-Jul-2012 Improv: Automatically wrap buttons in a PCG window to accomodate small screen sizes.
Improv: Improved screen layout of a PCG window (stretched windows and visible scroll bars).
Improv: File Save As now shows the current file name as default in the Save File dialog.
Improv: In the list generator, the output file is not read only anymore.
Improv: In the list generator, file related errors are shown.
Improv: Added Music House (Muziekhuis) Lyana to external links.
Improv: Name added to Oasys donators of Korg Kronos voucher codes.
Bug Fix: Widened program IDs of banks U-AA to U-GG in PCG Window (those were truncated).
Bug Fix: XSL files are only created in case of XML output is selected.
Bug Fix: Double clicking on scroll bar of a PCG window does not display edit window.
Bug Fix: Removed column reordeing in PCG windows to prevent other problems.
Bug Fix: After saving File As, the new name is shown in the PCG window title.
Bug Fix: Splash screen is now shown for 5 seconds instead of 0.1
