Within the instrument can be added a second SSD, in order to properly use the new sound libraries of large dimensions

I'm wondering if the 3 GB is enough to hold all libraries (or a lot).
I have now 3 GB and had to remove the Japanese library to make space for the legendary strings and austrian piano.

Or would the X have 4 GB (?)

It's here! I don't know why I am so excited. I already own a K61. But I had entered the X marks the spot contest. NOW, on the Korg.com site, they gave away a "Kronos X"...Yes, it looks like an enhanced version with a 62 gig hard drive AND THE 2.0 OPERATING SYSTEM. I hope all of these upgrades will be compatible with all of our existing Kronos'.
