Korg Pa50 MidEast natively saves its Songs (and Backing Sequences) as Standard MIDI Files (format 0). No conversion is needed. However, when making songs to be later exchanged with other instruments, please remember the following: Korg Pa50 MidEast directly records in SMF format. Any SMF reader should be able to read it. Be sure the file’s extension is correct (usually “.mid”). Track 10 shall be reserved to Drums. When saving a Backing Sequence, track 11 is also reserved to Drum/Percussions. Only General MIDI-compliant sounds do sound the same on different instruments; Korg’s own Sound Programs will be replaced by different sounds. The Program map in the User’s Manual also shows GM-compliant Sounds.
