Hi guys
Sorry for coming in late to this discussion....I'm an old guy and a Kronos Newbie, so forgive me if I'm breaking any rules by posting additional sounds rather than creating program's from the current sample set.
As an addition to the current sample set, the Orchestral Strings, in the hands of you Guru guys out there, should add some texture to your Combinations and I would be most interested to see (hear) what you do with them as part of my learning process.

Thanks Sharp, I am looking forward to this. I downloaded the 4 compressed files last night and need to know where I should put them on the Kronos disk, inside Korg Options? or to the root of the SSD. For example, I have two folders in the root of the disk, Factory and Korg Options, should I just paste the "ORCHESTR" folder from my thumb drive to the root? Then my root would be like:

Factory
Korg Options
ORCHESTR

or is Korg Options just for the Expansions from Korg?

Then there is Gamblers expanded version of your Orchestral set, found here> http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=88665

Should I just install that one?
Casio HT-3000, Korg Wavestation, Roland Juno-D, Korg NS5R, Korg X-50, Korg Kontroller 49, Akai MPK 88, Korg M50, Korg Radias, Atmosphere, Omnisphere, Stylus RMX, East West Studios various instruments, Roland Juno-Gi, Yamaha MOX8, Kronos 7.

You can put it at the root. Or any place you like really. I think the only real "rule" is to keep that Factory directoy pristine so you always have it.

Hi Sharp,

I have downloaded and played Sonatina Strings successfully on my Kronos X 61keys. It's great, even more realistic than the Epic Strings from Yamaha Motif XF.
However, I do not know some Programs got the notes muted at C2 to B2. Please let me know if the sample is only a demo. How do I get the full version of this Orchestra Sets?

Thx you so much Sharp.

I'm James, from Vietnam

Reading your question, I'm quite sure you didn't even take the time to open one of the Kronos manual. You'd have to.
In sequence : 1) Quick Start Guide 2) Operation Guide 3) Parameters Guide. You will find them here :

If you saved your guitar samples to the hard drive and named it "Guitars," it will appear in your drive as two files:

"Guitars.KSC"
"Guitars_UserBank.KSC"

Go to GLOBAL -- KSC Auto-Load page.

Press the ADD KSC button. Select "Guitars_UserBank.KSC" from your HD.

You can press the Do Auto-Load Now button, or just turn off the Kronos. The samples will load at power on.

There is no need for any of your samples to load into RAM, except in cases where you want to do reverse effects with them.

Mike, I thought that auto load loads the samples into ram at boot up. Or is it just for flagging them for streaming off the SSD?

You can select "RAM" or "Virtual Memory." I always use Virtual (streaming). As you can see in this photo, a certain amount of RAM is used, but it is a small amount compared to the Disk Size of your samples.

Thanks for the clarification Mike. I don't do much sampling but next time I do and I have to do an auto load I will keep that in mind.
