PCG Tools is a free librarian (and more) application for various Korg synthesizers/workstations.

Who would like to test PCG Tools for microStation for me? Very long time ago I tried to add support, but there was a reason why it did not work. This evening I spent some time to fix some bugs, and it seems to open files and generate files etc, but since I do not have a microStation myself, there might be some checksum problems (and possibly more, didn't test it very thoroughly).

However, if someone of you owns a microStation, and wants to test it, please let me know (send me your email address), and I will send you a version with microStation support.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all.

From now on PCG Tools supports also the microSTATION, see below:



PCG Tools 2.0.0 is released. You can download the application for free as usual at http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl.

What is new?

Virtual banks for the Korg Kronos and the MS2000 (see the Virtual Bank files to be downloaded on the website). With these files, you can store 50 program and 50 combi banks, so you can keep all your patches together in one location. Of course you cannot use them directly on your synthesizer, however you can copy from/to that file like a big storage box. And if you need more than one file, just fill another Virtual Banks file.

PCG Tools does not support only PCG files anymore. For the Korg MS2000, microSTATION, microKORG, microKORG XL and microKORG XL Plus a variety of files can be loaded and managed.

Also Greek language has been added thanks to Dadanos.

Besides that the Set List Generator has been rearranged so it looks better (I hope).

Last but not least a lot of small improvements and bug fixes.

Kind regards,

Michel, developer of PCG Tools

Michel,

Even though I don't own a PC, thanks for supporting the Microstation.

Korg recently released a 512 patch set for the Kross. If the Kross can import Microstation sounds, would it be possible for the Microstation to import some Kross sounds that have shared waves?

I don't know this, I don't have a microStation myself and is not related to PCG Tools which does not support waves.

Maybe you can ask it in the Microstation thread itself?

Looking at the list a lot of items are also for non Kronos owners, but indeed, most are smaller improvements.

However, I Always try to keep as much features supported for all models PCG Tools supports.
