I have had my Triton Extreme for 20 years. LOve it!
But, I just have made the transition to the Kronos 2.
I have a large collection of TEX songs saved in SNG that can't be read on the KRONOS.

I would like to salvage my work.
Question: Which method is best?

1) save Triton Seq as native Triton MIDI files for export. Import to Kronos sequencer and then re-select programs from Kronos library for each track and then save multitracks in SEQ as a new *Kronos.SNG?

2) Save Triton SEQ songs as STD MIDI FILES, then import to KRONOS SEQ, then tweak programs etc.

Your thoughts thiis or another solution?

It's such a personal thing that it's hard to advise. The two suggestions you make would both work, but you'd spend an awful lot of time if you then tried to adjust all the Kronos programs to get near to the Triton programs, and even then it wouldn't feel right.

Also, you could end up spending so much time transferring your old songs that you'd be missing out on having fun on the Kronos. As a past Triton Extreme owner and fan, I'd say that Kronos is far better.

What I would do is just to make sure that I had all the definitive mixes I needed from the Triton Extreme songs, and then move on. If you wanted to go the extra mile, I guess you could take also mixes of the individual Triton song tracks and then upload them into the Kronos or a DAW if you needed to at some future date, but again that would eat up a whole lot of time.

An alternative would be to simply keep your old Triton Extreme and its SNG files, in case you ever want to go back to them for whatever reason. If you've already sold it, then you could keep an eye out for a well-priced replacement at some point. They're not that expensive to come by, but there aren't that many (that I can see) for sale.

Best of luck with whatever you choose. Hope you enjoy your Kronos!

Pete.m is perfectly right and even if you take this enormous amount of time to transfer each midi channel into your Kronos2, and then make all the necessary readjustments,
the Kronos2 will never be able to exactly recapture the spirit of a mix of an SNG made with your Triton Extreme.

I know that because I have an old Triton Extreme and a Kronos, and believe me, it takes a long, long time...!
The best is to redo your Triton Extreme songs with your Krnons 2 to recapture the feel of your songs

I'm not sure what a "native Triton MIDI file" is, so I suggest option 2 and export two standard MIDI files for each Triton sequencer song, Format 0 and Format 1. One format might work better in certain applications, so save both.

Even if the instruments and effects need to be modified when you load the MIDI file into a new keyboard or DAW, you will still retain the note data and MIDI controller data - good reasons save your SNG sequences to MIDI files.

You want to save to Standard MIDI, and load them straight into the Kronos. Kronos won't read Triton SEQ data. When you load them into the Kronos, it will have saved CTRL 7, 10, 91,93, and a Bank/Patch event at the beginning of each sequence, in each track. You will have to go into Track Edit on the Kronos sequencer and delete these events before you reassign everything (it's a pain). Fortunately, you can use the search feature to find the programs you need in the Kronos to match them.

HI synthesis and HD-1 are not terribly different. If you find yourself missing certain programs that you needed in the Triton Extreme, often you can recreate the program parameters pretty easily in the Kronos.
