Hello fellow musicians,

I took my Kronos to a studio after a couple of years playing only at home. When I turned it on, all my recent changes in sounds were gone. It didn't completely reset. It somehow went some saves back.

Notice that these changes weren't made the last time I turned it on. I was playing with the latest changed sounds for 2-3 weeks. It was turned on and off multiple times these past weeks. All the changes that I had made in previous months/years, were still there. I only lost the recent ones.

It somehow restored itself ot its three weeks earlier status.

Any insight on this? Is this a known bug? Could it be all that moving from the house to the car to the studio etc. that something was shaken inside?

Thank you in advance

I don’t think it’s a bug. I don’t remember hearing anything about your issue.

Is it possible that you inadvertently loaded an older PCG file while in disk mode?

Kronos boots off a PCG file.

Thats where the issue likely is

Do you back up your work routinely ?

Another possibility is you ran the editor. I've had the editor overwrite (without warning) the Kronos internal data with the editor's version of the Kronos from the last time the editor was run, which could be weeks or months in the past.

There are some auto-sync settings in the editor that are quite dangerous.
I never start the editor without first creating a PCG backup of the Kronos on disk.

Thank you all for the replies. What I can say with certainty is that when I make changes to programs/combinations/setlists, I just use the classic "Write" command in the up-right menu and the changes are there in the next boot. That time when I took it to the studio, the recent changes were gone.

I'll keep keep in mind to save the .pcg every now and then.

Thank you, guys

Kronos will never change internally saved PCG data without loading another PCG file accidentally !
I can think only one valid reason that might have caused PCG data loss and this is motherboard's CR2032 battery that might needs to be replaced !
Until this will be addressed , keep on saving only PCG data after any important edit.
Important note :
If you manually load KSC files be sure that "Load also PCG file" square box is unchecked , only this can restore your previous PCG settings ...
