How to save a single sound as a PCG??

The manual describes how to save all, or save a bank of sounds.

Through trial and error, I can save an individual patch by selecting SAVE PCG, then deselecting all the banks, drums, global, etc that do not affect my single sound.

There must be an easier way to save a single patch??

Thanks in advance to all you experts who contribute so much to the Forum!

Hi,

It is not possible to save a single sound to a Pcg directly from the Kronos menus.

I would recommend the following : copy your sound to an initialized bank and the save this bank to a Pcg file.

You can always add new sounds to this Pcg afterwards with some manipulation.

You can save a PCG file with one program bank, containing the program you want, than use PCG Tools to clear all programs except the one selected (use Ctrl+A to select all songs and than ctrl + mouse click to deselect), than press clear.

Yes, but that is very cumbersome. In the kronos you can "Initialize Program" -> All Programs in the current bank (You can find this in the main menu of a program). Then write your program to the emtpy bank, and save just this bank!
The result is the same and you don't need a pc.
