Do you want to use the Kronos as a Keyboard MIDI controller to control other hardware?
or
as a MIDI Interface to connect other hardware to your DAW?

Can you be a little bit more specific on what you want to do?

That's really easy to do, just press the ext button on the kronos and choose the corresponding template and load the mca file in massive or fm8 or another synth. A list of the available softsynths are in the ext manual if i recall correctly.

Or, create your own template by assigning knobs and faders to the parameters in your softsynth.

If you choose not to hear Kronos at the same time as your plug-in, be sure to turn local control off in global.
