how do I save a sample?

Awesome, thank you everybody

narf, you're an absolute geniussss!!!! thanks a lot for that simple yet thorough tutorial. I just have one question, if I later on add/load MORE samples to the hard disk, should I create A NEW ksc file for every one of them or I can simply load a single file with all of them inside it regardless of in what program/combi they are?

Narf,
Thanks so much for the walkthrough. I've fumbled my way through this process twice now, always missing a key step, and being generally confused.
My notebook now has your instructions in it so I won't be so lost the next time.

I think this is a case where the UI comes up short. As a rule, it should be a simple process to do simple things. All I want to do is create a program that assigns a single .wav file to a single key.
1. Select .wav
2. Select key
3. Name and save program

Instead, I'm dealing with PCG, KMP, KSC, KSF, multisamples, create program from multisample, saving sample data, saving KSF, etc, etc. I appreciate that most of this is because it's possible to do things much more powerful than what I'm trying to do. But that all makes it much more complicated to do simple things.

Hi
I sampled my voice on the Kronos in sequence mode and it all went beautifully.

I saved all on disk and then rebooted. My sample has gone.

Why?

Cheers in advance

DanKorg Sent me this so I hope it helps others

Here's the part of the manual that I think will be particularly helpful:

Automatically loading sample data

Using the KSC Auto-Load list to select which samples to load

What’s a KSC?
KSC stands for Korg Sample Collection. KSC files contain links to Sampling Mode, EXs, and/or User Sample Bank data, including Multisamples, Samples, and Drum Samples. Loading a KSC file loads all of the linked data.
You can load KSC files in Disk mode, and the KRONOS can also automatically load one or more KSC files at startup. The Global KSC Auto‐Load page lets you keep a list of your favorite KSC files, and select which ones from the list are loaded automatically at startup. You can also load KSC files immediately, without re‐starting, directly from this page.
Note that you can keep files in the list without loading them. For instance, you might have one KSC file for a recording project, and a different KSC file for a live band. The list lets you keep them at hand for easy loading when desired, and may often be more convenient than using Disk mode.
Note: The KSC Auto‐Load settings are saved automatically, and are not part of the Global PCG file.
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds after making any changes to the Auto‐Load settings. This allows the system time to complete the process, which includes saving the settings to the internal disk.

Adding a KSC to the list
To add a KSC to the list:
1. Go to the Global Basic—KSC Auto‐Load page.
2. Press the Add KSC button.
The Add KSC file dialog appears, allowing you to select KSC files from disk.
3. Select the desired KSC files.
You can use Multiple select to choose more than one file, if desired.
4. Press Add.
The selected KSC files will be added to the list.

Selecting which KSC will be loaded
To select whether or not a KSC will be loaded:
1. Check or un‐check the Auto‐load box next to the KSC name in the list.
That’s it! The next time that the system powers on, the checked KSC files will be loaded. You can also load them immediately, as described below.
