One of the great things about the Kronos is the huge number of programs and libraries that are available. The related downside is the shortage of program banks to store them. Many of us filled all internal program banks years ago. Korg is currently unable to make any improvements in program bank storage, so for now loading new banks and libraries feels like playing this puzzle:


The excellent PCG Tools program by Michel Keijzers can generate reports of used programs (among many other functions). While very handy and detailed, the large report is not ideal for quickly answering the question "What can I delete or overwrite without breaking something else?

I developed some post-processing scripts to help this process.
Please see my Kronos Software Resources page for more information and downloading the script.

Sample output showing used/unused/init status for all Program and Combi banks in a Kronos:

Great work... I'm glad still people develop for the Kronos (and others).

Btw, in PCG Tools you also can select a number of programs or program banks, and press the Delete function. A requester shows up that asks if only programs need to be removed which are not used by combis/set list slots.

Also, in the settings, #references can be switched on which shows in how many combis/set lists the program is used (0 if not used). It is switched off by default because it makes the application a bit slower.
