 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2018 12:30 am Post subject: Berlin Grand and other sounds on the Kronos 2 |
 |
|
| I have owned the original Kronos ever since the first ones came out and have loved it. Yesterday I got to play a Kronos 2 with the Berlin Grand and all those other cool sounds from 80'- 90's-00's music that come with the K2. My question is, short of buying the K2, can I just buy a library with all these new sounds in it? And where would I get it? I've never installed additional memory in my Kronos, but would I need it if I were able to get ahold of these sounds? Thanks |

this will catch you up. Its from 3 yrs ago: ( 1/29/15 email):
Dear KRONOS user,
Korg is pleased to announce the "New KRONOS Sound Pack" for the current KRONOS users.
* * *
New KRONOS Sound Pack ( $299
The "New KRONOS Sound Pack" includes the following new KRONOS Sound Libraries, as featured in the new KRONOS:
• EXs17 SGX-2 Berlin D Piano
• EXs18 KORG EXs Collections
• KRS-07 Sound Pack 3.0
The ”New KRONOS Sound Pack" adds these fresh new sounds to the KRONOS and KRONOS X.

* * *
• EXs17 SGX-2 Berlin D Piano
Contents: Approximately 8.6GB of PCM samples, 16 Piano Types.
One of the three great pianos of the world, this legendary instrument from Berlin has been captured for the SGX‐2 sound engine. The KRONOS piano engine has always offered huge collections of non-looped/natural decay stereo samples, recorded for every key, with additional unique tools to customize the piano to your needs. Inheriting all of this SGX-1 functionality, the new enhanced SGX-2 Grand Piano engine introduces the new Berlin Grand Piano, including 12 velocity zones, Sympathetic String Resonance and newly-recorded Una Corda (soft pedal - literally "one-string")
The EXs17 Berlin Grand Piano offers resonant piano sound with striking sense of depth.
• EXs18 KORG EXs Collections
Contents: Approximately 900MB of PCM samples, 93 Multisamples (42 stereo)
EXs18 contains a selection of string, choir and brass sounds from the three KORG EXs titles listed below.
・ EXs11 Legendary Strings
・ EXs15 Classical and Ambient Choir
・ EXs16 Funk and Soul Brass
• KRS-07 Sound Pack 3.0
Contents: 256 Programs, 32 Combinations, 13 Wavesequences, 1 Set List
KRS-07 provides new Programs which use the samples from EXs17 and EXs18. Additional Song Programs are named for the classic rock and pop songs whose signature keyboard sounds these programs recreate. Use these universally well-known sounds to pay homage to the originals, or as the basis for personal sonic explorations.
* * *
EXs17 and EXs18 demo versions and authorization codes
As always, you can download and try out all EXs libraries for free. Initially, they will work in demo mode. You'll be able to play, edit, and save Programs, Combis, Wave Sequences, and Songs which use the new samples - but until you purchase an authorization code, their sound will fade out periodically. To purchase an authorization code, go to the online shop at https://shop.korg.com/kronos/SoundLibraries. Once the "New KRONOS Sound Pack" purchased, entering the authorization code into the KRONOS removes the audio limitations of demo mode - no additional downloads required.
KRS-07 is available for download only after purchasing the “New KRONOS Sound Pack.” Pre-purchase demo mode is not available for KRS-07.
We hope that you enjoy these additions to the KRONOS as much as we enjoyed creating them!
Best regards,
KORG

glad to help. I was going to recommend the RAM upgrade as a must. Most K1 owners were successful as a DIY.
Eventually, adding a 2nd SSD is a solid move. Assuming you are filling up the original 25 gig SSD.
Both steps are well documented here and on youTube.
IMO, you won't need a K2 if you upgrade your K like this, get the " New " Sound pack and stay current on OS.
