How do I load data to my Korg Kronos?
You can load the entire contents of memory at once, including sound data (Programs, Combinations, etc.), Songs, and sample data.
1. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
2. Press the File tab, and then the Load tab, to go to the Disk-Load page.
3. Optionally, Press Drive Select to select the drive from which to load.The internal drive is the default.
4. Navigate to the directory that contains the file you want to load, and select the .SNG file.
Select a directory (shown as a folder icon) and press the Open button to move to a lower level, or press the Up button to move to a higher level.
The selected .SNG file will be highlighted.
5. Press the red Load button at the bottom of the page. (You can also use the Load Selected menu command. A dialog box will appear, containing a number of options.
6. Select the “Load [filename].PCG too” and “Load [filename].KSC too” check boxes.
When these boxes are checked, the system looks for .PCG and .KSC files with the same name as the main .SNG file.
7. Set “.PCG Contents” to All.
Optionally, you can load only some of the data from the .PCG file.
8. Use “Select .SNG Allocation” to specify how the Songs will be loaded, and whether or not existing
Songs will be erased.
Append loads the Songs into the first free Song numbers following the song(s) which are already in memory.
Clear: will erase all songs from internal memory, and load the Songs into the exact numbers from which they were saved.
9. Use “Select .KSC Allocation” to specify how the sample data will be loaded, and whether or not
existing sample data will be erased.
Append will leave all currently loaded RAM and/or EXs data intact. RAM Multisamples and Samples will
be loaded into the next available vacant numbers following the existing data.
Clear RAM will erase all multisamples and samples from sample memory (RAM), and load the data in the same configuration with which it was saved. Existing EXs data is left intact.
Clear RAM & EXs is similar to Clear RAM, above, but also un loads existing EXs data before loading the new
.KSC file. This frees up the most memory for the new .KSC.
You can use the information at the bottom of the dialog box, including Memory Required, (Memory)
Available, and Enough slots for Samples & MS, to determine whether or not you need to free up room for
the new .KSC.
10.Set the Load Method as desired. This sets the preferred way to load the EXs samples in the KSC: load them into RAM, use Virtual Memory, or
use the setting stored in the KSC. If the KSC has no EXs samples, this will be grayed out.
11.Press the OK button to load the data.
*Never disconnect USB devices or remove data storage media while loading or saving.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
