Excellent news this is now supporting Kross 2. Would you expect, people can transfer PCG from Krome to Kronos 2 now?

I'm afraid this is not possible, these have two different engines/samples/parameters/engines etc.

Hi guys! I downloaded this app, installed on my win10 through Parallels on MBP 2014. Connected with KRONOS and made some changes in pcg file. Loaded new pcg into flash drive , and after install new pcg into KRONOS it freeze for opening this pcg. I waited for a half n hour, and restarted K. After that I had startboot problem. It freeze on *finished up*… it was 2days before! I had worst day becomes KRONOS is the main part of my setup' and I performed every day. All day I tried to repair it(bought a ext.cd player. Downloaded iso of repairing cd, can’t done it time and performed by mainstage... ) then I got the recovery cd from one ownr

I'm sorry to hear about the problems. So far, nobody ever had this serious problem.

Also, this seems more of a problem for Korg, since it should be 100% guaranteed that even a file that has problems cannot change the operating system, nor result in problems booting.

Is it possible to send the PCG file? I don't have a Kronos X, but maybe I can see what is wrong with the PCG file.

Hi All!

I found the bug in the PCG Tools v3.0.0. The category mismatch between the PCG Tools and the Korg Kross 2. I made a table. The divergence is highlighted in red.

Please fix this bug in the PCG Tools v3.0.0. The bug introduces confusion.

Best Regards!

Dear Galf, you are the first to notice this thanks.

However, I stopped updating PCG Tools some time ago although I would fix bugs. However, this bug is probably not that easy to fix since I did not make different settings for the groups per Kronos model.

So I will keep it in mind, in case I ever will start working at PCG Tools again.

Sorry for keeping the confusion for now.

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi dear Michel! Thanks for answer! Updating or not updating PCG Tools this is your absolutly right and I respect this. But let me ask you a question. But first I will describe the problem in detail once again.

So in KORG KROSS 2 there are no category: SYNTH, LEAD and SYNTH PAD.

In KORG KROSS 2 there are category only: SYNTH LEAD and SYNTH PAD.

Now for example I'll take a 123.PCG file and in PCG Tools assign the Prog UA042 "Pulse Bass" category - BASS, save this file and load this file in KORG KROSS 2.

Then in KORG KROSS 2 the Prog UA042 "Pulse Bass" visible in category DRUM/SFX. And etc. in accordance with the table that I compiled.

This is the bug.

I'm not a big connoisseur of coding, but I went to http://pcgtools.mkspace.nl/download.php and I downloaded PcgToolsSourceCode.ZIP and I unpacked this file.

I found in PcgToolsSourceCode\KorgKronosTools\Model\Kross2Specific\Synth\ file Kross2Global.cs.

And in the file Kross2Global.cs, I found such strings.

Well and now actually a question

If I in the file Kross2Global.cs replace the following strings,

On strings,

Next, I'll save the file Kross2Global.cs and recompile C# project PCG Tools,

Will this bug be fixed?

Thanks in advance for the answer Michel

Yes, I think it will ... I hope to find this weekend time to fix the problem (assuming the development environment is still working).

Also, it might be possible I will fix some additional bugs and I take some more time.

Thanks for analyzing it, good work.

Probably I took the same list as Kross 1, but since the Kross 2 has a hardware category list and is different, it should be fixed.

Hi there.

Thanks for making such a awesome software.
The question is can N264/N364 users use it,if not can you make it in a future to work for such a synths?

Manipulating PCG files,transfering presets/patches is really dream come true software for every Korg rompler user.

Kind regards,
Dado.

Sorry for my late reaction.

As you have noticed in principle I don't work on the application anymore.
However, I will try to keep answering questions when needed.
