Yes, you can upgrade if you wish. Here you'll find many threads with instructions to do so

Regarding the cost, it depends on the specific RAM & SSD you buy. You can DIY. The 2.0 OS comes at no cost.

I hear Korg has an upgrade kit you can buy which give you the ram and a 2nd ssd so you can max out ur version 1 and make it an X

Yes, the memory can already be extended and the SSD will then also be part of the package.

I spoke to Korg uk this morning they are not far from me, they don't have all the kit info as yet but are going to call me back when they do

I've found Dean (and others) very helpful at Korg UK - sensible, practical & responsive.

not spoke to anyone other than a lady

I wonder as I work in the IT industry if it's cheaper to just buy the bits ?

I think this would do the trick http://www.misco.co.uk/product/193750/S ... Hard-Drive

but not sure on the RAM

Of course DIY is cheaper, but officially not advised of course and Korg / Service Cneters have also some labour time to be paid.

read on this forum several times:

you might void the warranty on a DIY

UMM I will wait for Korg to call me and give me pricing then as my unit isn't that old at all

Buying RAM and installing it are fairly easy. I created two topics a while ago.

1 question... does system 2.0 has updated sequencer???

If you cannot find it in the info of the Kronos X, probably not.

I'd be pretty sure if that was an upgrade, it would be heavily advertised. Maybe if we get an OS 3.0 there might be a chance.
