Oh boy I figured it out. Now everything is working fine again.

When I was loading the factory preload, there was a question about if you would like to use the KronosX or the new Kronos2 style of loading the programs to different locations.

I was always choosing the new Kronos2 style of loading, because I thought I have the new OS 3.2.1 and then my kronos x is behaving like a Kronos2.

I thought by myself, lets try the other option and gosh! it worked!

Now I stay with the Kronos, since I like the Combinations very much. I am a big fan of the Karma, it's a little bit like an "Auto Accompaniment" function.

I dont have the money for a Montage, because my wife don't allow me to buy, since we have a small baby at home and purchased the new house and the expensive car...

You got it?

Return of the Grandmaster unfolding before our eyes. Just joking man! Hopefully things work out for you. Since this is the most official un-official korg forum with tons of helpful users, you might as well bring up similar issues as a question rather than a goodbye statement. It's a real weird way of talking about a problem, especially when you haven't really "mastered" the beast just yet. Neither have I!

Makes perfect sense now. A small baby at home and a wife?
Does not get more complicated than that, and taxing on the nerves.

Then add trying to figure out kronos... With the baby in the background..

After a while i would be getting rid of kronos too, just to save my last nerve to keep up with the baby and issues that can come up there.
I would even stoop as low as getting a basic department store casio, because montage can have its own challenges that can work on that last nerve needed for raising a small baby to the point of baby being big enough to walk over to the Kronos or Montage with caked up hands and start doing like daddy does to make the screen beep and the keys twinkle out those sounds.

Busch, essentially you could fill 640 performances on the montage with your own sounds you've created, then save them as a library. Load the library and start again with the next 640 performances, I found this feature actually pretty good on the Montage, obviously yes they a read only when loaded as a library but doesn;t stop you editing the hell out of a huge performance bank before saving as a library.

I couldn't care less about the Montage system, and prefer the way the Kronos OS handles things by far over that: MUCH more flexible and powerful from my view! And with tools like PCG Tools, I fail to see how it could be easy to mess things up on the Kronos.

By the way, I for one don't care about factory programs and relating combis any more, since I noticed a long time ago, that I virtually do or redo combis, which I want to use, from scratch most of the time anyways. On my Kronos, I since have my own patch structure excusively (no factory order at all), and my combis based on that own structure.

The downside of this approach obviously is, that you can't just load third party combis relating to one of the factory program orders: you have to rebuild them with your own programs.
The upside (which for me is ten times more important than the downside) is a massive gain of available program and combi slots for sounds I actually use, not ever stumbling over masses of low quality presets based on low quality samples from ancient Korg times any more. Now ALL banks are my banks, and all contain sounds I actually use, or at least could well imagine to be useful some day.

Still, I could load the old factory banks to check some combi references, whenever needed: the cool side of the Kronos SSD system (in contrast to the Montage) is to have it all in immediate and fast SSD reach at your fingertips, within the massive and fast file system of your synth.
