Kronos update v3.0.3a ?

voip · Post by **voip** » Fri Dec 25, 2015 10:11 pm

The release date for the V3.0.3 update is showing as 2015.12.25. The Kronos system update file is slightly different in size from the original v3.0.3 updater released back in July.

The files that are different are:
KRONOS_Update_3_0_3\install.info
KRONOS_Update_3_0_3\KRONOS_Update_3_0_3.csum
KRONOS_Update_3_0_3\KRONOS_Update_3_0_3.tar.gz\mnt\sbin\loadmod.ko

Does anyone know if this update differs significantly from the earlier one i.e should this be v3.0.3a? The file with the largest number of differences is loadmod.ko, the new one being over twice the size of the original. Files with this extension are generally Linux kernel module files, so there may be important changes to kernel level functionality.

I would wait for a confirmation from Korg before upgrading - All registered Kronos owners should receive an update email.

It does seem strange that this release is slightly larger than the previous 3.0.3 - Maybe Korg made a boo boo with the file name/date?

I'd wait a while.

That is curious. Did the install notes address anything new or different ?

I Installed it yesterday and haven't noticed anything different but there must be a benefit for doing so.
Kronos still operates as it should.

If you download the file 3.0.3, it has a "New Features" pdf in the Manuals section of the Download. There will be a new editor for download from Korg, some changes for transposition from the set list, and Auto Remapping for Kronos and Kronos X.

I'll wait to update my X until I hear the "official" news but this sounds pretty exciting. Looks like once again Korg has taken care of it's Kronos owners.

There's no difference in any documentation - exactly the same as the July 3.0.3 release

All this was available in the previous 3.0.3 release in July, including the V3 editor - The confusion is that another (but slightly larger) 3.0.3 was released on 25/12/15 with no explanation from Korg.

I'd hoped it was a Christmas prezzie from Korg, that included the Mono/Poly EXi... Nope!

Ya I was wondering about that because it didn't sound that new. My excitement is if they had upgraded the Editor people have been requesting forever and the date of 12/25 being a new update of sorts. Maybe it's still in process for release. Wouldn't be the first time someone posted something prematurely, Interesting.

Dan any comment on this one ?
This new download file dated from 12/25 also intrigued me !
Is it recommended to install it ?

Thanks.

Cheers

Hi Fellas,
Wanted to update my Kronos 2.01 to 3.03. The PDF manual isn't clear as which files should be unzipped and loaded into the Kronos.
Can anyone please tell me the exact files I should unzip and load into the Kronos before I screw up the whole OS system
thanks Frank

Hey Frank, It's been a couple months since I updated mine, I also had trouble at first working through the procedure. I think this link will help you, even though it's a walk-through of the 2.0 version. Watch what is highlighted at :16. DO A BACK UP FIRST!!

Frank, One more thing, do you have firmware 1.08 installed? You'll want that too, but read the info on that update. That will NOT work on all Kronos units. Good luck, and you're welcome.

Hy Sharp,
I also just watched your video of loading OS 3.01. The Unzipped files:
manuals
mnt
bc
Display Update message
Install info
Kronos_Update_3_0_1 csum
Kronos_Update_3_0_1_tar gz etc

Which of these unzipped files get inserted into the Kronos? Some or all?
Thanks Frank

Can anyone list the files that get installed into the Kronos for 3.02

voip · Post by **voip** » Wed Dec 30, 2015 4:11 pm

There are too many files to list here. 517 files are held in the Kronos_Update_3_0_1_tar gz archive, plus the following are used by the Kronos for the update but may not be installed, as such:

DisplayUpdaterMessage
bc
KRONOS_Update_3_0_2.csum
md5sum
install.info
posttar.sh
pretar.sh
