303          Please note that there is currently no support for KORG's .PCG file format
304          yet. That's because this file format changes a lot and is not only
305          dependent to the precise KORG keyboard model, but also to the precise OS
306          version on the same model. And since basic conversion can also be done by
307          just accessing the .KSF and .KMP files (sample data, loop informations),
308          the current C++ classes should be sufficient for many tasks. Adding
309          support for KORG's .PCG files is not planned at the moment.

312          Besides those major changes, a load of convenient methods have been added to
313          the existing libgig classes to reduce the overall effort working with all
314          those file formats with software applications based on libgig.
