Locating Duplicates
It seems I have collected a ton of sounds, styles, keyboard sets, etc. (far more than I realized). Is there a reasonably simple way to determine which are duplicates and which are originals?

There is no easy way to do this other than "play & listen".
Several of the styles from previous Korg arrangers have the same names but are in fact different.
I created a full SET of all the bonusware styles and I also sorted out duplicates - the only way I did this was to play and listen to them - was great time usage during COVID lockdowns.

I do not believe there is any "automatic" way to detect any duplicates.

I have written somewhere on another post before on this forum that's why an external official software is needed which can unlock this kind of possibilities.
There must be some line of code on each style/sound/etc that stays the same does not matter how many times you rewrite/change it. Same as in pc software dublicate files finder they look for text matching codes in this case a similar software it can advice users the original style from the date and its other revision on other sets or on the same set and the user can choose to keep or delete whatever they wish.
The same concept I believe can work for the dublicate samples an external software will look for a specfic code on sets and inform the user to which samples are similar in name, size or length they are countless methods to achieve this however only Korg holds the encrypted part of the code that unlocks all this information that's why I believe an official software is needed.
Korgpamanager external software not official can provide you with detail data reports of each style/sound and sample but you need to use it your self to do all the dublicate finding manually it can not be done automatically as for now.
