Updating the system

1. Downloading the system update
The most recent system update can be downloaded to a
computer from the Korg website
(http://www.korg.com/kronos). For more details, see the
instructions on the website.
2. Updating the system
Before you start the update process, back up important
data on external USB storage media.
1. Using a computer, download the update from the
Korg website: www.korg.com/kronos.
The update will be in compressed, zip format.
2. Un-zip the downloaded file.
Un-zipping will result in a main folder containing several
different files and at least one sub-folder.
3. Follow any instructions included with the update.
4. Open the folder containing the update files and sub-
folders.
5. From within this folder, copy the update files and sub-
folder(s) to the root level of a FAT32-formatted USB
storage device, such as a USB flash drive.
Copy the files and sub-folders only; don't copy the main,
enclosing folder.
FAT32 format is required. Other formats, including NTFS
(Windows) or HFS+ (Mac OS X), will not work. Most
USB flash drives use FAT32 by default.
6. Disconnect all USB devices from the KRONOS.
Other USB devices may interfere with the update
process.
7. Go to the Global P0– Basic Setup page.
To go to this page from any part of the system, press the
GLOBAL button to enter Global mode, and press the
EXIT switch up to four times.
8. Open the menu, and select the command "Update
System Software."
A prompt will appear on the screen, instructing you to
connect the USB storage device which contains the
update file.
9. Connect the USB storage device containing the update
file(s), from step 5 above.
10.Press the OK button.
A message and progress bar will appear on the screen,
noting that the system is being updated.
Do not disconnect the USB storage device while the
update is in progress.
While the system is being updated, do not touch the
KRONOS' switches, and never turn off the power. If the
power is accidentally turned off while the system is being
loaded, the KRONOS may become inoperable. If this
occurs, using the Restore DVDs may be required; please
contact your local Korg distributor.
When the update is complete, a new message will appear:
"Update to KRONOS system version [nn] complete.
Please turn off the power, wait a moment, and then turn
on power again to use the new software."
