Hi, I am looking for restore dvd iso for Kronos 2011 with system version 3.1.0 or 3.1.3. Second question, did the set of presets differ with each system update ? Next question, does anyone use such a drive for Kronos ? https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/4000338937085.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1e2a48f4J24EhN&algo_pvid=1437991c-8bc8-4a6b-9f45-f784b325fdac&algo_expid=1437991c-8bc8-4a6b-9f45-f784b325fdac-3&btsid=2100bb5116187374805745095e0cde&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Version 3.1.0 and 3.1.3 are operating systems that can be downloaded from the Korg website.

Hi Piotr1967 and welcome to the forum,

Factory programs/combis differ beginning with the Kronos 2 compared to the older models. To update an older unit so it has the same sounds as a Kronos 2, you will need the "New Kronos SoundPack" which is not free because it includes sample sets for the Berlin Piano and many other sounds :

1) This contains links to the restore DVDs as well as other drivers, software and manuals. Be patient to allow the full page to load.

2) For KRONOS 2011 and KRONOS X, Korg has not changed the factory presets, with the exception of CX3 organ program updates for the new rotary effect introduced in OS 2.1 (Nov 2013). Installing the latest 3.1.3 system should include this in the PRELOAD.
As KK mentions, beginning with Kronos 2 new programs and a different order was introduced, but they are not included in System updates.

3) Although not the exact dvd drive you show, I have used a similar USB drive successfully with my K.
