It's a long shot, I know, but is there something in the program itself?

If you open up the program's 'Common' tab, you'll see that there are slots near the top of the screen enabling you to use two instruments as part of the programme. The piano programs tend to just have one instrument, with the second slot set to off. Could it be that the second has some how become turned on, and that a sound is set to that particular note range?

No that wouldnt be the case since the sound is random and doesnt happen all the time.

bazic , this looks like a hardware issue !
Try to reload latest OS and also try to upload a sound or video demo of this issue when happens !

UPDATE: I dont think its a hardware issue, i just loaded the factory PRELOAD.PCG, and the set it to autoload in the global settings, restarted the machine and the beep doenst happen anymore, than i load the my customised .PCG file from my set, and the beep happens again... Im really not sure why this is happening, since this beep wasnt happening before, and i've had this set for 2 months noe, yet the problem started happening few days ago...

UPDATE: Here is the sound if anyone is wondering how it acts and sounds... as you can hear, its random, and its caused by one tone, that is tone H.

It sounds like a glitch in one velocity layer. Did you do any sample editing on your PCG version of the piano patches?

Did you change anything in the piano programs that are misbehaving?

Yea i did change some stuff, but regardless of that, i reloaded the set back in, and every setting i adjusted is back on default, and it still makes the beep sound.

I thought you said the problem doesn’t show up in the original preload. So, that says to me you changed something that you haven’t yet changed back to default.

LOL. Thats not a beep

Has nothing to do with the beep sound in Global.

I think you have a corrupt sample.

After saving your important work, I would reload the factory PCG.

You cannot mess up the factory PCG and factory samples.

By reloading original PCG will help you determine if you have am internal Kronos problem or if its something you managed to create, by accident to the Program.

As i said, I already tried loading in the Factory .PCG file, and yes the problem does go away. I also tried reloading my custom .PCG file where my custom pianos are (Where the problem occurs) but even when i reload them all over again, the problem still happens.

UPDATE: Okay, i just got something new. It happens when i load the factory PCG as well, but only to the pianos which i had in my custom set. Pianos im talking about are: KRONOS German Grand, German Dark Grand, R. Ferrante German Grand, German New Age Grand, etc... So really the problem is in the pianos i was playing, that is the default KRONOS, and the German pianos... What could this mean?

OK you say the beep isn't in factory Preload. Right? Ok write down the custom piano changes and then load factory preload and change the settings on preload piano to the custom piano patches. Sounds like a corrupt file. You need to clarify if the beep is in factory preload?
