Kronos factory reset

Post by Zingle73 »

Hi,
I installed new third party sounds on my kronos x, now I changed my mind, I installed factory preload sounds KSC. The factory sounds are there but the old third party patches names didn’t reset. Still there without samples.
How to hard reset I want to reset kronos like the original state.

Please help

That sounds ' normal '

I bet you do not want to ' see' the 3rd party Program names in whatever bank was chosen. the samples/programming are now gone.

To eliminate the ' names' of the 3rd party stuff, you need to copy/paste a blank or init Program over the 3rd party Program .

You should have hundreds of empty Programs in User banks to pick from.

Restore with Factory files by loading the factory .PCG files from disk mode and be sure the system is set to overwrite all banks.
You should have a copy of factory files in disk mode HD as well as making a duplicate on an external USB storage.
