Is there some trick to simply opening a .mid file on a flash drive? The flash drive is formattted to FAT32 and has just one song file on it (nothing else). My KRONOS 88 does not even sense the flash drive. Under Disk it only lists the hard drive. It seems like this should a no-brainer.

Try a different flash drive?

I have found it to be just that easy - I use one on my kronos every single day. I would reformat the drive.

Try inserting flash drive into USB portal before you turn on Kronos. This should allow the keyboard to recognize the drive.

Actually nitecrawler, that will lyrically cause the Kronos to try to boot from the flash drive and give an error message to that affect. I would try another flash drive after booting up.

Interesting. On my Oasys, thumb drives have to be inserted prior to turning on the machine to recognize. My thought was that it is the same for the Kronos. Sorry if any confusion.

That's true only if the USB drive's "bootable" flag (aka boot flag) is set. This low-level parameter is not easily configurable, but if you're comfortable with tinkering, see:
