Help Updating Kronos V2 and New CX3 and Bonus Organ Bank

Post by flemmings27 »

I need some help updating my Kronos X88 with the V2, and since I can't get this one done, I assume I might have similar problems when I try to put in the new CX-3 and Bonus Organ banks that are available for free. I'm am using an 8g flash drive, which worked fine a couple weeks ago when I updated to the latest OS (I have a new Kronos and am new to Kronos) and following the instructions in the page for which I have pasted the details below the line, available at http://www.korg.com/KronosX,

However, when I get to the "Loading the Sounds into Internal Memory" section (which is on page 3 of the instructions), and go through the steps to "Press the Load Button" - when I press the load button, it tells me the file is empty. I've also retraced my steps and either gotten the same message or an "Illegal File Name" message. However, the Folder is not empty - it contains the 3 files that the instructions say are supposed to be there. I even went back to square one, deleted the Factory V2 from my flash, started over, and gotten the same results.

I am wondering two things. First, can this be updated by directly connecting my Kronos to the computer (as I do have the plug in editor, etc installed)? Would that be less confusing? If so, how would one do that?

And second, even if the process is the exact same, or I have to stick with using the flash, I wonder if the problem might be in something that I'm doing wrong relative to the previous page of the Instructions on How to Update (page 2). That page starts with step 8, and it says to "use the Copy menu command to copy the FACTORY_V2 folder to the Kronos internal disk. In the Copy dialog, set Drive Select to HDD: Internal H< navigate to the desired location of the folder and then press the Paste button."

When I pushed the paste button, I had not navigated to any folder, I just added it to the two folders that were already showing: the first said FACTORY and it had a lock to the left, and the other said KORG OPTIONS and it did not have a lock beside it. Thus, when I was pushing the PASTE button, the Factory V2 became a 3rd item on that list. And, in Kronos, what exactly does it mean to navigate to a folder? To select it, then press open? And then select Paste? IF the folder has a lock to the left, will I be able to do that?

I presume that since I've not been able to load anything and I have not deleted anything on the hard drive, then I'm all set to try whatever solutions anyone offers.

Finally, when I do get this figured out, will the process be the same for the CX-3 and the Organ Bank? Those do not have any instructions to update with them.




Factory sounds V2 (for KRONOS 2.1)

FACTORY_V2 provides the latest version of the factory sounds: PRELOAD_V2.PCG. This includes updated CX-3 Programs in banks I-A and U-C, which take advantage of the new CX-3 features in KRONOS system version 2.1. All other data remains the same.
