Kross Sequencer File Formats - Korg KROSS Parameter Manual

KROSS sequencer file formats

The KROSS sequencer supports both the proprietary KROSS
Song format, and Standard MIDI Files.
If you like, you can convert data between the two formats, simply
by loading the data in one format and then saving it in the other.
For details, please see "19) Load Standard MIDI File" on
page 183, and "Save SEQ" on page 185.
KROSS Song format
This is the native KROSS sequencer format, which is required to
ensure that all KROSS-specific data is saved correctly.
Note: Data from the previous model can also be loaded while
converting the program numbers. Since the preload programs and
preset programs differ from those of the previous KROSS model,
numbers are converted to the program that has the closest sound.
Standard MIDI Files
You can also load and save Standard MIDI Files (SMF), for
compatibility with other sequencers. Note that some KROSS-
specific data may not be maintained when in SMF files.
GM, XG, and GS System Exclusive Data
The KROSS sequencer can record System Exclusive messages,
including XG or GS data. For details, please see "System
Exclusive events supported in Sequencer mode" on page 152.
Note that GM, XG, and GS exclusive messages do not affect
the KROSS when they are played back.
