Hi all,
I am putting a second SSD internal drive into my Kronos. Before I do this I want to back everything up, haven't done this before. Following a Youtube video by Qui Robinez I created a 3rd party folder so as to load imported files I purchased from the Korg shop. In his video Qui loads his files from a flash drive into the 3rd Party Folder. My question is this; How do I load my files from the internal drive over to the 3rd party folder? Is this step necessary to backup everything in the Kronos? Appreciate any help.

Backing up the Kronos

I am not familiar with anyone else's tutorial, so my recommendation is keep it simple. This Korg video link explains most of what you need to know to do a backup : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sXuKiQnSm4
The Kronos is basically a computer even though the Disk mode is a bit tricky at first. To switch between the unit internal SSD and external USB keys, simply choose the one you want in the Drive Select window. Then do any copy, delete, transfers between drives you need to do as on any conventional computer.
A quicker way to transfer data between a computer and a Kronos is to connect it in FTP - if you are familiar with this, you can save time when it comes to backups.
The easiest and safest way to do backups for your Kronos is simply to use the Save All function in Disk mode. Do this every time you work on programs/combis or when you record stuff on your unit. If you bought third party libraries, keep copies on the SSD or on USB keys or a computer to reinstall them if ever needed someday, same with authorization codes for purchased EXSs. As you get familiar with the saving stuff and different types of Korg files (PCG, KSC, etc), you will learn how to do more elaborated saves to optimize memory usage, etc.

Thanks so much for your help kk. The Youtube clip you linked me to did the trick. I also backed up to an external drive. Wouldn't it be great if things such as loading in sounds or even backing up were far more simple and straight forward to do. I guess you can't have everything.

You're welcome !
Here's the whole list of Korg videos in case you need to know more about other Kronos things : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... JIGw1GF6sRThe Kronos is a monster machine, so don't worry if there's lots to learn. IMHO it's much better to have too many parameters to control than not enough.
Also, don't be afraid to experiment with the saving stuff. Anything becomes easier with some practice. Today, I spent about four hours perfecting a few emulations of Moog sounds on the Kronos. It's just incredible what the different Kronos synth engines can do.
