Best way to load/import Korg 01/Wfd pro songs into Kronos?

What's the best way to load/import my Korg 01/Wfd pro songs/sequencer data from the floppy disks into the Korg Kronos 88?

This is less than day 1 with the Kronos; so it's a bit of a newbie question perhaps. Do I need to save any (still working) floppy disks into the standard format (general midi), save to computer via an editor, then import into Kronos--or is there an easier way, perhaps using system exclusive data or a third-party program? Or simply can I transmit my song data from the 01/W to the Kronos via midi?

I love/d my 01/W, but haven't played for years. So unrelated, but: How much fun is this! The Kronos is creativity inducing. I can't wait to get back into the game.

Thanks in advance my fellow Korgers!

Hi,
Since you have the Pro version, you can save the songs in .MID format. If you still have a computer with a floppy drive, it's as easy as to transfer them into the computer and, from there in a USB stick. If you must sysex dump the songs in the computer, i don't think they'll end up in .MID format that way.

Any solution for the poor of us who have not seen an 01/Wfd in a decade or more?

I mean I have some floopies from my old 01/Wfd here, but no clue on how to possibly transfer them to .MID or anything else without a proper Korg vintage workstation. :/

There are no such conversion programs out there, right?

Miss the 01/W by the way.
