Kronos v3.1.2 available

Hi Schmooster,

Your comment triggers me to say a few things. First, I have no connection to Korg whatsoever, and if you would know me personally, you would know that I am severely critical person - not really the bow-down-type-of-guy, but always with the constructive intention to make an organisation or product better.

I play keyboards since 45 years (I'm 53), and I can tell you the Kronos is the first keyboard in a long series I have owned that had so many updates, still are 5 years. Typical for the previous keyboards I've owned, typically 2-3 updates were made but after 2-3 years it's over. I could name examples, but I won't.

Sure, an update fixes a few things and -luckily - in the case of Kronos - introduces new functionality. Sure they test, but it's always possible that there are still bugs left or new ones are introduced. Nobody is perfect.

It's obviously you have some issues. I hope they are or will be solved.

Anyway, this is NOT a big issue (or is it?) but someone should let Korg know that they forgot to include the p.d.f. of the "KRONOS_Update_and_Restore" document in their latest update zip file. I'm sure it was just an oversight.

Just sayin'.
Wot ?

A dedicated Kronos owner would have the steps memorized

I am NEW to the Kronos, in case you hadn't read any of my other posts, which you probably haven't, but yes, I already had the steps memorized from the last update I did. My post was for the benefit of people who may have JUST bought theirs more recently than I did. But give me six months with this machine and I'll be willing to bet you I can give YOU advice on what to do when you get stuck.

I am, literally, a BRAND NEW Kronos owner (just got my Kronos 2 88 last night). I suppose there are videos to show how to do this update, as even a new board doesn't have this, I'm sure. Is there a good place to go to see the process, spoon fed for us BRAND newbies?

See some newer videos, generally the procedure is the same

Make sure you update your subsystem to the latest update. I was having issues after I updated my Kronos X to the latest version and had problems with my combinations. The programs in the combis were all messed up so I updated the subsystem and it somehow fixed my issue.

Everytime I started my Kronos I had to reload my preload.pcg in order to get the combis corrected but after the subsystem update it works fine now.

Explain that one!!!!

How old is your unit? I bought a brand new Kronos 2 88-key Platinum Edition, and wasn't required to update the sub-system. From the reading I've been doing on here, it's only the older units that require the subsystem updates. I haven't had any of these issues, and it feels like if I tried to 'update' the subsystem on mine, I'd probably end up screwing something up.
