I'm not a computer geek, but is it possible that, in a future update, external hard drives will work as ram? This would allow streaming of user samples.... Again, I'm not a computer geek. I'm just throwing that idea out there.

I would not get any hopes up for being able to expand the RAM memory.

I remember a bit of information from a few months ago about the sort of Atom processor used for the KRONOS, which was said to be a dual core running at 1.5Mhz.
The only dual-core Atom running at 1.5Mhz I can find is the N550, and you can't use more than 2GB with that processor.

Unless of course KORG used an older underclocked D5xx model, in which case it would be possible to expand to memory to 4GB.

Jan1, they mentioned 1.6 GHz, not 1.5 GHz. The only embedded 1.6 GHz Atom dualcore with HyperThreading, and support for up to 4 GB of RAM is D510.

In a couple weeks, we'll know for sure. Smile

So the way I understand it is.. If you remove programs(Exis) to make room for new programs..Sharps, Erics, or what you create etc,,. it also affects the Combis??

So you have one free bank thats it ,,, and after that the Kronos is fully loaded and anything you remove.... or move... around the combis are hosed that use those programs you just removed. ?? And I created a setlist using one of the Extras and then rebooted it to the factory setting and the Setlist Program doesnt play now.. just as I thought. SO you have to reload it everytime to play correctly in the setlist? I seriously dont understand this layout at all..especially since the setlist is supposed to be preloaded everytime.

Removing programs has ALWAYS affected the combis with Korg.

Actually I wish combis were self-contained, not referring to the programs (but still having a possibility to load from programs - they just wouldn't use a pointer to the memory location of a certain program, instead they would copy the program to their own file and make it a part of itself). That would take more memory, sure, but then again memory is cheap nowadays.
