I tried to load some System Exclusive version of Karma Factory Preset Disk (Programs/Combinations/Drum Kits/Global) found on the internet but those files were corrupted and every time I dumped them into Karma Workstation using Snoize Free Software it showed error messages on my Karma. I tested using my own sounds, it worked properly.

I wish someone could load System Exclusive version of Programs/Combinations/Drum kits/Global and the preset songs (of system version 2). Help Please !

Is it possible to use an SD card, floppy, CF card (don't know what the Karma is using for medium) to transfer a PCG file?

Greetings Mr Michelkeijzers ! :)

Karma has only floppy drive, nothing else.

yes floppies are used to transfer PCG files. and those files are available on korg uk site but my macs don't have floppy drives.

Ok I understand ... yes it must be difficult that PCs nowadays don't have a floppy (makes PCG Tools also not really convenient).

USB floppy drive (read/write) $25 at any office/computer/"best buy". One extra step for you; no conversion needed at the supply end.

If you're really hard core, check out the USB floppy emulator mod that's been done for some of the older Korg synths - Trinity for sure, tho' it might be adaptable for KARMA as well. Then you could save 100 .pcg banks to a data key and carry your sound library with you.
