Hi Jürgen,
Unfortunately, my Korg Kronos is permanently broken, but I still have so many sounds. Is there a way to convert these xx.PCG files into files for the Korg Wavestate, or any other format?
Thanks for all you do !!

If you search for "korg pcg converter" you get some results but not sure if there is a solution.BoerniH wrote: Sat Nov 29, 2025 9:26 am Hi Jürgen,

I have a couple questions/suggestions.
Would be cool to have Ableton and Bitwig Drum Machine formats. Especially now that you have maschine format included.
Also have you seen that video where the guy shows how to create multisample files for Omnisphere? He showed how to edit the files manually, not hard at all. But it seems like a basic converter could work to Omnisphere format based on that process. Would be amazing.

I decided for ConvertWithMoss not to support specific drum oriented formats. Furthermore, the Bitwig drum format (or more generally: their device presez format) is not documented.Echoes in the Attic wrote: Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:25 pm I have a couple questions/suggestions.

Yes. but don't know if and when this will happen.Echoes in the Attic wrote: Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:25 pm Also have you seen that video where the guy shows how to create multisample files for Omnisphere?

I converted other mxsnd files and most of them worked fine, but a few showed this issue.

Thank you, Moss, for sharing this tool. Looking forward to properly try it.
I was wondering, if I were starting from scratch to create a multipsample instrument, which I would then like to convert to the many other formats which ConvertWithMoss supports, is any format recommended as a better "source" format than others? Is one format more suitable than others as a (lowest) common denominator?
Cheers

I would suggest SFZ since you can easily edit it with a plain text editor.
