I've had my PC3K8 for about 2 years now and I'm just now getting insufficient memory errors. I have new brass samples I want to load, but am reluctant to just start deleting existing programs/setups and their dependent files to make room without having a clear picture of what sample(s) belong to which program/setup/keymap, etc. I was hoping all of the sample date would xfer over to my PC with all the other data in the Soundtower application, but as I'm sure most of you already know, that application doesn't appear to acknowledge the existence of sample data, much less manage and/or give you usable info on what is associated with what. I have been searching the web and found a program called "Kurzweil Creator" from Chicken Systems Inc. While its primary purpose is to create files for upload, it can read Kurzweil files and display data about them. The online info says it will do .krz, .for, and p3k files, but I found that not to be the case, not yet at least. The following is the conversation I had with them today:

What were you wanting to do with that file?

Right, PC3K isn't supported yet, but although there's a use for it, it can be worked around by simply creating a KRZ file, putting your stuff in there, and then load it into the PC3K.

>The product description says it will load p3k files. What am I doing wrong?

See above, that functionality is going in sooner than later, but there's not a huge need for it (per the explanation above); there are not many PC3K files in which you'd want to work with anyway, and just merging in a new KRZ is a good workaround.

That makes sense. That's a good part of why we want to have PC3K support into Kurzweil Creator, but do understand that the priority emphasis of Kurzweil Creator is to create Kurzweil files. Editing is secondary but important, and we much appreciate your request. Sorry the feature isn't in the program yet, but when someone appeals to us, we hurry those features into the app. See below.

>I just finished re-reading applicable portions of the Kurzweil PC3 Musician's Guide, and while it is possible to load KRZ files into the keyboard, it can't export a KRZ file, and even if it could it would not have the ability to store the sample data. As far as I know only a p3k file can hold that type of data.

Right.

>I'd like to buy your program, but only if it can accomplish the task as outlined above. Is this possible?

Our schedule is a bit busy right now, but I've got a little time here and there before the end of the week and I'll tell you how quick we can get full PC3K support in.

Just off the top of my head, I think that Translator Free could help you here - AFAIK that supports at least viewing the .P3K files, and I think that could give that broad overview you are looking for to intelligently edit your PC3K memory contents, although it'd be on the PC3K itself (for now).

So my questions to you all are
(1) Anyone have any experience with "Translator Free"? Will it do what I need?
(2) Anyone use "Kurzweil Creator"? With a PC3Kx?
(3) Any other application out there that can read a p3k file and display meaningful info about it?
