How many total MB/GB of samples in the Kronos 3...?

Anyone know how many total MB/GB of samples are in the Kronos 3...?

Depends. A stock K3 comes with about 1920 MB of RAM and a 120 GB SSD. But any Kronos model works using RAM vs virtual memory, not to mention many have installed larger SSD in their units. So there is no definitive answer to your question.

If I'm not mistaken, all Kronos/Nautilus units use 3 GB of RAM. A little over 1 GB is for the Operating System, base "ROM" (314 Mb of samples), and the EXi software engines. The other almost 2 GB can be determined by you. If you set your sample library User_Bank to VIRTUAL, it will stream, allowing you 10 times standard RAM capacity (more or less depending on the kinds of samples). Some users (before the last update chopped off 50 MB of user memory ) were able to load 25 GB, or more, of samples.

To see what Kronos 3 has loaded up for Preload samples (KSC), check the KSC Auto-Load screen in Global. In the picture, below, you can see that my Nautilus Preload is 23 GB of samples (streaming only 1.4 GB of RAM!), and my Kronos X is 12 GB (streaming 739 MB of RAM). Check this screen and look for the Preload KSC for Kronos 3. I'm sure someone here could respond with that. I'm too lazy to go to Guitar Center and look.

EDIT: The SPECS page on Korg's site says that Kronos 3 has approximately 21 GB of Preload samples.

- Kronos 3 has approximately 28-30 GB of Romplet + EXs factory samples in on board mSata.
- OS and Romplet (Rom) are outside user Ram and occupy 1 Gb of 3 Gb Ram
- 1920 of overall Ram can be exclusively used to load custom EXs and the size of custom extra samples can be
from 6 up to 55 extra GB depending of the size of streamed samples , for instance if you load big natural piano
samples of 40 sec duration , you will use 50Mb of ram per 5Gb of samples while only 4Gb of drum samples can
fill the whole Ram of 1920Mb.


Hope this helps
