Hi. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a complete list of the inbuilt programs/fx from a PC3/K in a file so that I can load objects into my Forte?
Quite a few of my setups that I have moved from my various PC3s to my new Forte use standard programs and it's a pain to have to boot up a 'spare' PC3 and save them as new programs just to move them onto the Forte. What would be nice would be a complete dump in a PK3/PC3 file that I can use to pick missing objects and load. IIRC, the old OS updates used to have separate OS and object files but that moved to a combined KUF format a while back and I don't know if the Forte can open that.
Or is there a better way of getting these programs across that I'm just missing? 
Over here http://ksetlist.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1128 there is a Python script that takes apart KUF files. The KOBJ file is what you want; maybe rename it, and when you load it, select only the programs/fx that you want. The format of the KOBJ file is pretty much the same as a .PC3 file.
I've attached a zip file containing some of my Ruby scripts (they change quickly, and some need a lot of work still). You need to run them from a command line; Mac and Linux system already have Ruby; Windows I don't know about.
- kufx - extracts the kobj from a KUF file
- kobs - extracts individual objects from KOBJ/PC3/FOR/... file(s) (no dependencies, though)
- pc3 - lists the contents of KOBJ/PC3/PLE/FOR/ART/SPX,... files
Use:
# extract the object file from the unified file
kufx P3K241K.KUF
# list all the objects
pc3 P3K241K.KOBJ
# extract some programs, ID's 10 through 20, plus 99
kobs -tpr -i10-20,99 P3K241K.KOBJ
The drawback of 'kobs' is that it doesn't extract any dependencies, and it doesn't put multiple objects in one file, so make an empty directory and extract objects in there, to keep things clean and organized.
HTH!

Cheers Mike, I'll have a bit of a play with those and see if I can get somewhere. I'm a software engineer myself so I'm an old hand at scripting.
Correction Mike - that's brilliant. If the kobj can be turned into a pc3/p3k file, I'll try and publish it somewhere. 
Just rename it. "mv P3K241K.KOBJ P3K241K.PC3"
It is a PC3 file, after all, so if the Forte can import PC3 objects, it should be good to go.
