trading combi/program info between M50 and M3

Hi gang, I'm new to this forum, having just purchased a M50 a couple of months back, and now about to add a M3 to my small collection of Korg products (le, X-50).

A simple question I hope, and one that I apologize if it has already been asked. If I have some favorite M50 or M3 combi's or programs that I would like to exchange between the two keyboards, is that possible given they are different in their architecture? If I can, what process would you recommend?

Thanks to the forum members for any help.

I've certainly picked up .pcg files from the M3 forum and loaded them on my m50. Can't guarantee it would work the other way, but I suspect so, since the .pcg format appears to be shared between the two devices ..

Jerry, thanks for the quick reply. Just one more question, what media did you use to download and load the .pcg file to and from? Obviously, the M50 uses SD cards, and the M3 uses a USB port/device. I'm just looking for the quickest/easiest way.

If you are going to use both, I recommend a USB card reader, like the Sandisk Mobilemate.

The advantage here is you can leave the reader all the time in the M3, and just swap the SD card back and forth when you want to transfer files between both of them.

BTW, I corrected the link, because initially pointed to a Memory Stick drive. Now is the correct one (SD).
