Extract text from microSAMPLER bank files (MSMPL_BANK)
To convert MSMPL_BANK bank files to another format, you need microSAMPLER Editor or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Hardware Sample Bank" file type, you need software like microSAMPLER Editor or a similar tool.
The .msmpl_bank file is a proprietary hardware backup archive created by Korg specifically for the microSAMPLER synthesizer. It stores multiple recorded audio samples, loop point metadata, and keyboard mapping layouts in a single unified bank. Users typically manage these files using the official Korg microSAMPLER Editor/Librarian software over a USB connection.
This format presents significant challenges. It is a closed, undocumented binary format that locks your audio data inside an aging hardware ecosystem. You cannot load a .msmpl_bank directly into standard DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) like Ableton Live or play it in a media player. Furthermore, the required editor software is legacy software that frequently fails or requires complex workarounds to function on modern 64-bit operating systems.
Most users need to extract the audio to standard formats like WAV or AIF to reuse their samples in modern production environments. However, because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects uncompressed PCM audio embedded inside the bank, partial extraction or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MSMPL_BANK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MSMPL_BANK converter.
