Hello all

I've downloaded the Italian grand and loaded it in.(EXs21) I followed the instructions, and I elected to load them in bank USER BANK- DD. however, when I press the drum track - it doesn't sound right - its a loop of "random" onboard sounds instead of drums.

Now the instructions do say thus:

EXs21 Programs require the factory preload sounds
The EXs21 Programs use Drum Kits and Drum Samples from the factory
preload. If the factory banks have been changed, or are not loaded, then the
Programs will not sound correctly. If necessary, please first back up your
current sounds, and then re-load the factory sounds. The factory sounds are
stored in the files named PRELOAD.PCG and PRELOAD.KSC in the
FACTORY folder on the internal disk.


Now when I do this, that is "install" the above PRELOAD.PCG and PRELOAD.KSC - it takes me back to factory settings - more or less IE: I lose my set list that came with the Exs18/KRS-07 that I purchased 2-3 years ago (the setlist screen is no longer in colour)

All the other banks and drums work fine, so how do I load the drums in for the USER bank UDD only were the Italian grand is located ?

I'm on 3.1.3

Thanks

Anthony

There are different installers for the Kronos/Kronos X and for the Kronos 2, to take account of the differing Program ordering in the different Kronos version.

Was the correct installer used in this case?

hi voip

I forgot to mention its the original kronos (1) and i loaded the EXs21.pcg (not the kronosSX) - and like i said, the piano works fine but the drums are a mixture of onboard presets

Thanks

I also have this problem with quite a few drum tracks, because I have reorganized and deleted my sounds. Even though I used one of those free librarians (can't remember the name right now), it messed it up, as well as the Comics.
To save RAM i even deleted/unloaded the large EXs with the drum kits.

You need to go into your piano program and just change the in the drum track to the right drum sound you want.

Well my mistake (holds hands up) I downloaded the Kronos 2 file instead on "kronosX/Kronos" one. I was confused with the KronosX present, and missed the "Kronos original" altogether – and was seeing EXs.pcg not KRONOSX.pcg - on the wrong file download - so I thought it would be ok. However after I downloaded the correct file, I got constant errors when pressing the load button. (“Error: invalid option file”)

So after a few tries, and a couple of fresh downloads, I decided to format the thumb drive on the Kronos, and hey presto – it still didn’t work! I got ““Error: invalid option file” again.
This means that the installation data is corrupted. Copy the file to the USB Media again, or if that fails, download the data again.

So I swapped my drive to the Kronos and formatted my 16gb drive on the Kronos (TO 4 GIG OF COURSE IN FAT 32), and then back to the pc – and after copying the files back over, I put it in the Kronos, but was still presented with the error prompt (as above), so took the USB out the Kronos a couple of times, and “refreshed it” then finally the load option worked, and I copied to my second 128GB drive – and successfully loaded the pcg/ksc to the default bank (user G i think) and now works properly with the drums all intact.

I don’t think these file-loads always work, even if done by the letter, but a bit of trial and error, and trying different USB slots on Kronos eventually get you there - its a computer - after all! :

After a few plays with the Italian Grand, its got to be a "Must-buy" - even at £199 (I think). its got a very clean sound from top to bottom and can see myself using this - quite a lot!

Thanks.
