Hey all,
i got a V3 file with .pcg name, is there a tool free or paid to listen to the sounds in it if I do not have Trinity to open it.
Any info is appreciated
thank you

No way to audition contents of a Trinity PCG file on anything but an actual hardware Trinity or TR-Rack. You'd need a VST/softsynth version of a Trinity to do so, and one does not exist (and even the Korg's official Triton softsynth - which is very similar to, but incompatible with, Trinity - does NOT allow loading of user sounds from PCG files.)
Also, you mention it's a Trinity "V3" PCG file, and if so, some or all of the included Programs and Combis might include MOSS-synthesis, which require the rare MOSS-TRI optional synth board installed in the Trinity (which makes it a Trinity V3).
Further, although Korg Z1 and Triton EXB-MOSS board share essentially identical MOSS-synthesis hardware to the Trinity MOSS-TRI board and are theoretically patch-compatible with the Trinity V3 pure MOSS patches, you'd need a way to convert the V3 MOSS patches over to Z1 or Triton EXB-MOSS format. (There was a homwbrew program MOSSquito that covrerted from Z1 to Triton EXB-MOSS, but only that direction, I believe.) So even if you had a Z1 or Triton MOSS-EXB, you's have issues.
