Hi all,

I am having trouble when loading a library that I purchased. When I load the PCG, KSC, and KGE files - everything seems to work fine. I'm able to reboot and the files are sill there, working correctly.

Occasionally when I reboot the Kronos - it sometimes errors with a "IAW21.KSC" file no found or when I go to play the sounds it says "Sample not found". To correct I remove the KSC file from Global samples and delete the directory - then completely reinstall. This only works for a while before I have the same errors again.

This error sometimes occurs after reboot where everything worked fine and then the samples disappear after playing the Kronos for a while.

If I try to manually load the samples - the samples are missing from the directory.

The image below is where I open the "IAW21.KSC" file - it lists all of the other sample directories along with the IAW21 sample folder- is this correct or is there a file issue? My other KSC files don't show these files.

Thanks for your help!

I am able to reproduce this issue at will now.

- Download the files to my HD
- Load the PCG file - I select the options to load the KSC and KGE files as per the vendor instructions
- I go into Global and check Auto Load for file IAW21.KSC

Everything works fine.

- Now I select "Do Auto Load Now" - the samples are no longer loaded and I can not manually load them. The only way to fix is to unload the KSC, Delete the Directory (the sample directory is corrupt), reload the files to my HD, and re-install.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here are the samples listed in the IAW21.KSC file after initial load and everything works fine...



After I run "Do Auto Load Now" - here is what the IAW21.KSC sample list looks like. They jumped from position 000 to 032 and some are missing.



Very strange. I've unzipped and reloaded the files a number of times so I don't believe the files to be corrupt...

Have you gone to GLOBAL - KSC AUTO-LOAD, and set your KSC_Userbank to VIRTUAL (disk streaming)? I'm guessing that your samples are loading to RAM, then going away, after power off.

You don't have that many samples. Meanwhile, I'm using several gigabytes of 3rd party/personal samples. Notice the VIRTUAL MEMORY settings on the right side of the display. Those samples are there every time I power up.








Also, you can check the Memory availability, at the top of the screen.

Thanks for the reply. I have these set to "KSC Settings" in Globals and set to "Auto Load".

It worked fine for days rebooting, etc. - and then started loosing the samples once in a while and then all the time. Also - there is the KSC corruption occurring.

I have another set of samples and sounds that works fine. This is a real head scratcher!

I will try to set these to Virtual tomorrow to see if anything changes and let you know.

Some additional things that I tried:

- Changed Globals / Auto Load settings to Virtual Memory - same issue
- Contacted vendor and they sent me a different version of the files - same issue
- Locked the Directory on my Kronos to try to stop the writing to the KSC file- same issue

There is something happening inside the Kronos that is corrupting the KSC file.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

The Kronos is only 1 week old running 3.1.3 OS and only has one other non-factory sample library installed.

This worked fine previously for several days and then the KSC corruption issues started happening sporadically and now it happens 100% of the time.
