I've a human boot time that's more than 2 minutes... well, let's go, where's my sheet music? ...just a moment... Claudia, my dear, please turn off your radio...

I have OS version 1.0.3.. How do I get the latest OS?

That is only when doing the initial load to the flash memory.

It's apples and oranges: Kronos has to fill the RAM from the SSD. The XF doesn't need to do this as everything is either in ROM or flash.

Not that the XF's boot time of 40+ seconds is lightning fast

6 minute boot up..


wanna keep bitching?

That means absolutely nothing. It's not about the number of the multisamples, but the size!
Mine boots up in 2 minutes. About 150 Mb. And let's not forget it, that the FG is a previous generation.

Trust me, they are. The majority of the boot time is spent in other ways, like loading PCM. You can greatly improve your boot time by reducing the amount of PCM you load at boot time (trimming down from the preload.pcg file that ships as default), but then you would have to load that data later in disk mode as you found yourself wanting it available.

Thanks for correcting me. The reason I said that is because a little while back someone had said in this thread that entirely turning off the preload shortened the boot time by only 15 seconds. I don't have a Kronos yet to try it though.

I can't get into specifics about the amount of time each part of the boot process takes (rest assured I've profiled it, though), but I just stopwatch-timed my system running the shipping version of the software, and turning off PRELOAD.KSC entirely saved me roughly 40 seconds off the time from power-switch on to the UI startup beep.
