Famous song sounds for Kronos 1?

Is it possible to have the famous song sounds on the Kronos 1? I'm playing in a cover band and have a Kronos 1. I've seen in the sound list of the Kronos 2 and there are a lot of sounds i like to have for my band.

Kronos 1 and 2 do have the same operating system. Just check you got the latest version.

Go here:
https://shop.korg.com/kronosSoundLibraries

Description:
The "New KRONOS Sound Pack" includes the following new KRONOS Sound
Libraries, as featured in the new KRONOS:

KORG EXs - Expansion Sample Series
・EXs17 SGX-2 Berlin D Piano
・EXs18 KORG EXs Collections
KORG KRS - Professional Sound Series
・KRS-07 Sound Pack 3.0

The ”New KRONOS Sound Pack" adds these fresh new sounds to the KRONOS and KRONOS X.
Note: The "New KRONOS Sound Pack" is intended for the KRONOS and KRONOS X only. These sounds and samples are already included in the new KRONOS (KRONOS2-61/73/88).

You need to buy the bundle to get the "famous song sounds" that are already installed on the Kronos 2. I don't think there is anyway around it . It appears the Kronos needs the new samples included with EXs17 & EXs18.

For some yes you need EXs17 & EXs18. But for many of them you don't, Would try the free first. Compare the free ones with the ones listed in KRS07 and judge if you want the others as well

EXs17 and EXs18 are great anyway for their sounds included. so it's worth to have them.

Isn't the KRS07 copy protected like all of the other Korg libraries?

Yes it is, but there are some overlapping patches, since Busch was involved in KRS07 but had created the free library first.

And for some of those programs/patches (e.g. the ones using EP and AL1 etc) you don't need EXs17 or EXs18, but others you do, as also for the specific EXs17 and EXS18 related programs/patches
