Hi, I've recently bought this file and agree the sounds are very high quality, especially like the pads. One question, why do these ex's come in tar.gz files? I can't find a way to review each sound or load individually to the bank of my choice like I can with the original Korg Ex's which are .pcg files, which is very frustrating. It meant copying some of my custom voices to another bank before I could load the file, and some of those I use in combis so I had to alter those as well. It seems an unnecessary complication.

Look on your SSD for the KApro folder. Inside that is another folder, "EXs19 KApro's Private Collection." Inside that folder is the PCG. Ignore the tar.gz, they are only for installation. In fact, you can remove the USB stick after installation so it doesn't cause confusion.

Oh thanks for that Busch I'll have a look. It would certainly save me a lot of pain in the future if that's the case. It was putting me off looking at other demos.

Hi, I’m also having trouble getting EX19 properly onto the Kronos.

When I unzip the Ex19.tar.gz file there is an HD folder that contains a KAPro folder that, in turn, contains the EXs19 KAPR’s Private collection folder. This folder contains the EXs19.PCG file and .KSC file. The PCG file is 706 KB, and I placed it in user bank CC (because I put the KRS -06 Organ sounds in the User G slot). The KSC file is 5 KB (too small?). I see the images of the programs in bank CC, but there is no sound because the samples haven’t been loaded/saved. Do I need to have EX19 in an HD-1 bank?

The HD folder also contains a PCM folder that contains a Bank 19 folder. This Bank 19 folder contains the BankMetaData.img (185 KB) and Samples00.img (1.4 GB). I’m guessing the Sample00.img file must be translated into another format before it can be saved to the SSD drive. I’m also guessing that I must do this on my computer (a mac) before placing it on the USB stick to connect to the Kronos.

Anyway, what do I need to do, and what am I doing wrong?

All help appreciated.

Thanks, David

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this. Do not unzip the tar.gz file, that's for the installer to do. Follow these instructions to the letter and you should be good.

Installing EXs

Loading the new samples and sounds
You can load the samples and sounds(Programs, Combis, Drum Kits, Wave Sequences, and Songs) into the default locations all at once.

To do so:

Busch.

Busch,

Thank you so, so much! It worked. Your step by step instructions were terrific.

Hi guys:

I am new to the Korg forums and new to Kronos. Recently purchased the Kronos 2-61 and am absolutely amazed by it's capabilities.

I tried installing the Exs19 library (entitled free to new Kronos owners) and tried the same steps as described by Busch and still keep getting the error message on trying to install the "EXs19.exsins" file from my flash drive. I followed the same steps exactly, but get that message. Please help and let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Nez_Man

Hey guys:
Managed to figure it out. Very Happy

In case any other newbies like me Embarassed

is having the same issue, this is what I did -

- Unzipped "K2-EXs19.zip" which results in 3 files (EXs19.exsins, EXs19.tar.gz, S019)
- Ensure you copy the unzipped files "as is" into a sub-folder called "K2-EXs19"
- Copy the folder and save it to your flash drive.

Then I followed Busch's instructions from his previous reply...Thanks Busch!

Safely disconnect the USB storage device from your computer.
Connect the USB storage device to one of the KRONOS’s two USB A ports.
Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
Touch the "Utility" tab.
Using the "Drive Select" menu at the bottom of the page, select the USB storage device.
Touch the folder containing the EXs data from step 2, then touch "Open."
Touch the EXs.exsins file to select it.
Select "Install EXs" from the drop-down menu, or simply touch "Install".

Sorry first post - so Korg Kronos newbie here (Got the 73key Kronos 2 last week - WOW!), anyway, I've done all the stuff above and loaded the files (I think). So where are they all located? How do I get to play some sounds? What program (sound) bank are they located in? I can't find anything that looks like an EX19 sound! Sorry for being dumb!!

Fellow noob here. I had the same problems until I formatted my USB on Kronos, instead of on my laptop. After that...the instructions mentioned in earlier posts worked fine.

Hi everybody, it looks like voice stealing is an issue when using String and Orquestral KAPro programs within a COMBI. They are the best sounds for the Kronos in my opinion, but they do have the polyphony issue. Has anyone find a solution to solve that? Thanks in advance.
