This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to extract sound
fonts from (for example) a Korg keyboard? I like the sheer range of
sounds my Korg has, but would like to record in MIDI rather than as
audio for ease of editing. Once its in MIDI it would be convenient to
have the Korg's sound fonts available on my machine so I wouldn't need
the Korg around to playback.

I think there's a program for doing roughly what you want to do. Not exactly though.
What you do is "sample" every key in the keyboard, (at various velocities etc if needed),
and then trigger the samples when you need to playback.

I've never used this program, I'm not the author, and I dont know if it works well, but
it seems it may be of use to you. Cheers, -Harry
