Convert KMP to PCG

Understanding kmp and pcg file formats

KMP files are typically associated with Korg keyboard instruments, specifically as Korg Multi-sample files. These files store multi-sample data used for creating and playing custom instrument sounds on Korg synthesizers and workstations.

PCG files, on the other hand, are Korg Program/Combi/Global files. They contain a collection of programs (sounds), combinations, and global settings for Korg keyboards. PCG files are essential for transferring and managing sound libraries between Korg instruments.

Why convert kmp to pcg?

Converting KMP to PCG allows musicians and sound designers to integrate custom multi-samples into a complete sound library, making them accessible as programs or combinations on Korg keyboards. This is crucial for organizing, sharing, and loading custom sounds efficiently.

How to convert kmp to pcg

Direct conversion from KMP to PCG is not a simple file format change; it involves importing the multi-sample into a Korg editor and then saving it as part of a PCG file. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open Korg’s official software for your keyboard model, such as Korg Kronos Editor or Korg Krome Editor.
2. Use the File → Import → Multi-sample option to load your KMP file.
3. Assign the imported multi-sample to a new program or combination.
4. Once configured, go to File → Save As → PCG to save your settings and sounds in a PCG file.
