Though it's not officially supported, have you had ANY problems with it? Are you on the latest OS? Have you managed to (Even as just a test) managed to load ALL of it and have it accessible/usable?

I will be upgrading RAM in the near future, and am curious of your results.

Thanks!

I've had 4 GB in it since I got the Kronos. Worked fine on every OS since the beginning - including 1.5.2 which is the latest official version right now. I don't sample very much. I'm using it mainly to load all the libraries at bootup.

My 2nd 2GB stick is the exact same make/model of what was in it stock.

Hi, McHale. Thanks for your time and support.

Can you please tell us what is in the latest release of 1.5.2 since it's an official version (although, I can't seem to find it on the Korg website) ?

Just curious what has been added or changed since KRONOS System Version 1.5.0 ?

Thanks again in advance

1.5.2 really only adds support for the new RH3 keybeds. I don't believe it adds any new features or bug fixes. A thread about a 1.6 that is coming soon has a video that says will add support for the new editor coming out with it. If you have 1.5, you're good to go. 1.5.2 is only installed by authorized service centers with the new RH3 keybed.

I originally added 2GB but had one or two problems, like a popup box freezing. So I took it out and replaced it with a 1GB version of the factory installed memory. No more problems. So it could have been 2GB or the fact that the memory was different from the factory type. In any case, Korg recommends 1GB so maybe they have reasoning behind it that we don't know about. Can't remember whether the problems occurred with 1.0.4 or 1.5.

What I'm asking here is has anyone been able to effectively/reliably use that extra .25 GB of RAM? Since that can be the difference between loading a couple extra libraries, I'd love to know!

I asked recently and was pointed to old tests that said no...still only uses 3. So, I've decided to just put the recommended 1gb stick in...getting that DONE locally, has proved more of a challenge.

I have an additional 2GB stick in mine like McHale. The system memory shown on the global menu is 3.25 Gb.

The available memory for sampling (from sampling:recording tab) is shown as "11958.0sec (1121,064kbyte)". This is with system 1.5.0 and the factory preload. No additional samples or libraries loaded. Hope this helps.

So has anyone managed to load past 3gb?

I replaced the existing Hynix DIMM with a pair of Samsung M379T5663FB3-CF7 2GB DIMMs. The Kronos booted up fine and reported 3.25 GB of RAM. Then I noticed that my user samples hadn't loaded. When I tried to manually load them I got a memory load error and following that, very few of the factory samples were available including the pianos.
A reboot brought the factory sounds back but my user samples still would not load.
I removed the new memory, replaced the original DIMM and all is well.
On the plus side, I became fast and efficient in removing and replacing the 27 screws that fasten the back panel.
OS ver 1.04
