Oh, okay I did not read that anywhere in the manuals....how does one do that when the Kronos only has 200 slots?

I mean how does one add another "batch"...I did ask this before but got no reply...does the Kronos "auto" create a new Song base of 200, each time one gets filled?

The 'slot' principal doesn't apply here...

Page 499 of Kronos parameter guide (I'm looking at the v1 manual) says:

Thanks Cello re Youtube vid!! Yeah it was a great system, and if I can get my head around this sequencer/song thing, I can also set up the same for the Kronos.

According to the K manuals, I can select Set List entries via midi over the K control channel using simple bank and patch commands....so yeah the same system should apply.

As for this .sng issue.....I did read that page on the Par Guide (and a few more ) but all I am getting is this max of 200, now you say that's "per file" how does one create a new "file" ?

I have a few songs already done, and all they seem to do is save/load into the next available slot in the song list of 200...not as separate files....


PS: EDIT ....I think I now have it... I just turned on my K again now, and discovered that the sequencer was empty...nothing in the slots...So then the "penny dropped", it DOES save each song file separately. However if I want to load several "sequences" at once, I can actually save them in this one "Song Slot List" - up to the maximums previously discussed- so if necessary they all load at once.

Okay so if I have this right, it is simply that each song file I create can actually have more than one sequence attached to it......or just one sequence if I choose.

I already have setup the three songs I have done as separate Set List entries, so that part works okay

Hey Cello thanks m8 nah all good...now I have the saving/storing thing sorted the advice re the sounds is well noted, and understood...that part of the proceedings I can understand fully....

You have no idea at how relieved I am, as this Kronos is the BEST synth I have used, and ticks all the boxes....now if we can only get Korg to commission SK to do Karma 3 for "on-board" use

I am still to get into the Karma stuff, but from what I have read and seen so far, if I keep to very basic stuff re Karma, I should be able to "get" it as well...I also want to use Karma to play live "backings" as it were.

On the PA's (keyboards) I had -since the PA1 - this was how I gigged. Some songs were over backing tracks and others I played live using minimal arranger style tracks. Usually only drums bass and guitar, I chopped out the other style tracks - WAY too busy!!!!

Anyway, I am a happy camper again, so thanks for sticking with it for me, and to the others who contributed....and my apologies for being so slow on the uptake!!!

Cheers
Dennis

Ok, I really don't get it - I read the manual - pg. 107 of the OP Guide - It is not working as explained. I have a sequence completed in Sequence mode - Slot S001 When I go to the menu in the upper right there is nothing that allows me to save the sequence either to the HDD or my Thumb Drive. I go to Disk mode and created a Songs Folder - I open the folder and go to the menu in the Save tab. When I ask it to Save Seq it creates a .SNG File with 8 different files in it? I am confused. I know it was much easier in my M3's when I had them? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vin

You create your sequence in sequencer mode.
Then you go to disk mode, save tab and from the dropdown menu select "save sequence".
You save it either to HDD or USB stick and name your song.
A song is a collection of your sequences, so you can name it "my songs.SNG" for example.
When you start your Kronos, you can load your collection of sequences by going to disk mode, load tab and loading the "my songs.SNG" file.
Then go to sequencer mode and all your sequences will show there.

The confusing part in my opinion is that it's called "save sequence" where it should have been called "save songs".
A song-file can contain many sequences after all.
So you don't have to save a file for each sequence you make,
but save all sequences in one file, so to speak.

Firstly, thanks Yuma for the response. I now have the .SNG file on my thumb drive as I wanted, but now can I convert it to anything that someone without a korg keyboard can listen to? Can it be converterted to a midi file or an audio file? I have it on my PC and so far nothing can read it. I'll try Ableton Live Lite, but that seems a bit difficult. Going to try anyway..

Thanks..
