Hello I'm back again with another Kronos problem. This time it's not my fault I don't think.
My Kronos which is a virgin and has never been opened or nor had the drive tampered with seems to be having a strange problem. When I go to load a file or if I've left it on for a while and go to load or save a file the list of files on my drive is completely blank. If I got to the sequencer and I had a song loaded at the time that song will also be blank.
I'm then forced to restart it and then my drive data will be there...???
Any thoughts on what is going on? I have a USB stick also plugged in the back that I frantically save my Data if that helps to know.
Korg Kronos Drive Problem?

Hello Greg C,
I don't think it was really long maybe an hour or so. I just powered it up and loaded up my file off the factory HD did some edits to the sequence. Saved it to my USB stick first and then went to save the file to factory HD and per usual the "Medium has no space". So I deleted the file that was there and copy and pasted the files off my USB onto the factory hard drive.
You know how that takes a while some times? Well I went and worked out for an hour or so and came back to see the keyboard in the condition I mentioned.
This has happened a few times before even when there is available space or when just saving to the factory drive directly.
Side rant..I'm using 3.1.2 still. I tried to update to 3.1.3 but gave up on it because all I got were update errors after 2 hours of trying. I guess Korg enjoys doing things backwards. You know to update my Nord all I had to do was plug in the USB cable drag and drop a file and it updated itself? Crazy idea right.
My Kronos is also seems kind of "delayed" sometimes. Like you hit the screen here the been and then it takes a moment to execute what you're pressing. Only seems to do this with the drop down menu though.
I dunno man...every time I try to enjoy the Kronos it gives me problems one way or another. Like I've got bad Kronos luck or something. Some days I want to pull my Triton back out my gig bag and forget I ever brought the Kronos.

you are right, 1 hour left on is not a big deal.
even with a Song file loaded.
Once in a while I leave a 60 MB Song file sitting in the SEQ and there are associated Audio files with the Song. They don't run and hide if my K is left on
for 1-2 hours.
My wild guess is that your 57 GB SSD is 99% full and that would mess up your new work flow.
If Wild Guess #1 is accurate, start archiving those old unused wAV files to a USB storage. And delete them from factory SSD to give your SSD some head room.
For example, I had 125 Song files , SEQ files + WAV files [ for my SoundCloud ]
sitting on my 2nd SSD. I archived 100 chunky WAV files to USB storage.

Do the math. I would be a little surprised your factory SSD is jammed.
Its a good practice to manage your storage.
Wild guess #2 is power. While you were making coffee and chilling in the back yard, your K [ k2 ? ]. went into power saver mode and/or shut down an rebooted.

Thanks for the reply GregC. Right now my current plans are to finally install a secondary larger SSD and move files off the existing HD onto that one. I get very nervous about HD problems from a bad experience with Akai years ago when I lost all my songs after the drive went bust... actually happened to 2 drives on their gear. Now I save save and save everything frantically.
