Hi!
If kronos takes around 2mins to boot up normally, how is user samples load time?

Like If you have a soundfont2 sound/instrument with some hundreds megs?
Takes several minutes, maybe 5mins on m3.
How is it on kronos?

How about some exs libraries?

Like If these are on autoload, is there any example how much time it takes?

It will only take a few seconds to load those files. I had an M3 and loaded several hundred MBs of samples and yes it took longer to load far fewer samples. The Kronos uses SSD streaming so an instrument that has 1GB of samples might only require 30-40MB to be loaded at any one time as only a small buffer of the samples lives in RAM at any moment and the rest of the are pulled from SSD as needed. Also, remember the Kronos uses SSD rather than USB flash.

Kronos is much faster. Instead of several minutes for hundreds of megs, it is 2:34 for about 20 gigs, on mine.

If you uncheck all EXs (4 gig pianos, etc.), you can boot up in 60 seconds. That would be the OS and the 314 MB base ROM (1,505 multisamples, 1,388 drum samples), which is always there.

You can see the 60 sec boot, here:
