Korg Forums

Hi - I am from Australia and bought a TR-Rack that I had to reset to factory sounds and the Drum Samples are missing. Can anyone point in the right direction to get them back. Lovin' the sounds in it.
Thanks
Hugh

TR-Rack is actually a module version of the Korg Trinity, not the Korg TR itself. The TR (the upgraded LE) has no module version.

This is the TR-rack


And this is the korg TR


You should be able to get the factory programs/combis by loading the default factory data from the global part. Usually all korg keyboards have that option there

Hi Thanks for the reply - Yeah I got all the sounds back except when I scroll through the prog and combis - drums aren't there anymore. I thought I might have to load them on manually or something.
Is it possible that when I bought it second hand it had more sounds on it than after I reset to factory standard.
I reset it because it was making some weird distorted sounds after it arrived?
It is a TR-Rack like the one you have pictured (not the keyboard shot)

If I remember correctly - you should have 512 programs and 512 combinations. That's 4 banks (A/B/C/D)

Trinity (the keyboard version) has only 3 unless you insert that expansion ROM chip

The drum sounds are ROM based and should not be "lose-able" under normal circumstances. The TR's not a sampling module, so there should have been no "extra" drum sounds to lose.

Did you do a routine to reset (hold a front panel button and power up) or use a .pcg file?

Are the drum programs themselves missing? (i.e., no program that says "Power Kit") or is it a matter that the programs are there but the referenced drum kits are gone?

I could see this problem rising from initializing everything including the drum kits stored under global data - all of the stock kits are volatile and could be initialized too - and then loading back only program/combi data and omitting the needed kits. That would be a matter of making sure that global data was included in your reset or re-load process.

More troubling is the "weird distorted" sounds the prompted this reset in the first place - that and the lack of drum sounds might be an indicator of a bad chip or failing battery - if the drums are gone because a ROM chip is damaged or failing, that would be a "bad thing".
