Hello dear users of this website! I have a problem where my Korg KRONOS makes these random beep sounds, but only when playing piano sounds for example: Kronos Grand or German Dark. I tried both of my monitors (M-Audio BX5) tried different combinations of cables, and i came to a conclusion that the keyboard is making this problem, not the monitors which i thought at first. I tried messing with the sound files a bit, like loading them again and stuff, but it really did not do anything. I would be VERY grateful if somebody could help me. Thanks!

Go to global and turn off the annoying beep

Are you by chance in Combi mode, and there is something ‘beeping’ from another track?

clarify.

Is the beep intermittent ? random ?

Does it occur only when playing the keys ?

or only when navigating the LCD ?

Or both ?

Keep all other devices, iPhones, iPads , tablets away from your K- just to isolate
your K is not picking up some random tone

1.) Nope there isnt anything in combi thats producing the sound
2.) Yea the beep sound is random, and it ONLY happens when i play, its not beeping when i dont play or when i scroll the menu.

Maybe trying loading factory preload patches again and see if it's still there. Then reload your saved programs. Just a thought.

UPDATE: Okay with a bit of experimenting, i now can see that the problem is in one tone, that is tone "H" (the one left from C, i think in America they call it "B"), more accuratelly, its the H3 tone , So only that tone is making that sound, And no, the problem is not in the physical key, because when i transpose it for "-1" octave, than the H2 tone is making the random beep sound..

Is it the German Grand or Japanese Grand or Berlin Grand or all pianos or Eps.

If you have done a previous Save All I would reload everything again and see if the beep is still there.

I think there is a factory folder on SSD and just load it again to see if that clears up the beep.

Well actually, i have a preloaded set, and it doesnt support berling or japanise grand, i only have Kronos grand piano and german grand pianos.

Yes reload the preload set and try that won't hurt. I think you should gave Japanese Grand. You must have the original K.

How exactly do i do that, because it doesnt let me load in the whole folder, do i have to load every one of these PCG, SNG and KSC folders manually?
