The KMP (Korg Trinity/Triton Keymap File) file extension is a type of data file used by Korg Krome, Korg Triton and Korg Trinity Digital Music Workstations. These files are used to store the MIDI-to-keyboard mapping information that determines which sounds play when a key on the keyboard is pressed, and how much data is passed for each sound.
KMP files consist of data formatted in text containing .FF#, FZ#M and ZAL commands. FF# is used to map a MIDI note number to any Triton voice number or exclusive Trinity wave sequence. FZ#M is a combination of the ‘FZ’ command and the ‘M’ command and it defines the MIDI note number, dynamic range, velocity range control, portamento time parameter and mono/poly after-touch combination. ZAL, on the other hand, is used to define complex rules for transforming MIDI data as it enters or leaves the instrument.
Creating and Using KMP Files
KMP files are usually created with specialized music workstation software. To create these files, you need to open a template file (.fst), then type long strings of commands directly into the file, or use media devices such as keyboards to enter commands. The KMP MIDI file format also supports multiple device types, so one file can be used for various devices.
Once a KMP file is created, it can be exported as midi files (.mid), Audio Interchange rage files (.aif) or binary file for controlling devices. Typically, KMP files are used to control sounds in computer music applications, digital music sequencers and hardware synthesizers. Other similar formats include .DMX, GKB, and MINI.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .KMP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .KMP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .KMP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .KMP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .KMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .KMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .KMP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .KMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .KMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .KMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
