I looked at this a little more. So far (and I'm still looking at this ), for now, it looks like you must MANUALLY set the M1 for Program mode or Combi mode. However, the

MSB (aka controller 0, or 2nd column in a .pat file) and LSB's (aka controller 32, or the 3rd number in a .pat file) to select individual Program's/Combi's from all the cards are as follows:

To select one of the ~2600+ PROGRAMS:

Any MSB (is immaterial - so far - so leave it at 0 or 1):

LSB 0 - 21 are "Cards 1" thru "KLC," and

LSB 22 - 25 are "User 1" thru "User 4" cards respectively, and

LSB 26 - 36 are the T1 cards 1 thru 11 respectively

To select one of the ~1650+ COMBI's 's use the SAME LSB to obtain the Combi from the SAME card as the respective programs:

Any MSB (again is immaterial - so far - so leave it at 0 or 1):

LSB 0 thru 21 are "Cards 1" thru "KLC," and

LSB 22 thru 25 are "cards" "User 1" thru "User 4" respectively, and

LSB 26 -36 are the T1 cards 1 thru 11 respectively


While converting the Sonar Korg M1 .ins to a BIAB .pat file will work, it only converts what is there. and until someone does entire M1, right now that is only CARD 1 programs (or the first 100 factory ROM programs), as I mentioned previously.

But it does give you a starting point like [CARD 1-prgs] sample below, you need to add cards 2 thru KLC. I started CARD 2 sample (set LSB=1, 3rd column), and then repeat all that for the Combi's if you want to be able to call those up as well.

[CARD 1-prgs]
1.0.0=00 Universe
2.0.0=01 Piano 16'
3.0.0=02 Brass 1
4.0.0=03 Ooh/Ahh
5.0.0=04 Guitar 1
.
….
[CARD 2-prgs]
1.0.1=00 One World
2.0.1=01 Piano2 16'
3.0.1=02 Alto Sax
4.0.1=03 Spectrum 2
5.0.1=04 E.Bass 2
