Restoring the factory settings
Restoring the original sounds
You can easily restore the Programs, Combinations, Drum
Kits, Wave Sequences, Set Lists, and EXs samples to their
original state as shipped from the factory. This is done by
loading the PRELOAD.PCG file, which is included both on
Accessory Disc 3 and the internal disk.
This operation will erase all of the internal KRONOS
sounds. If there are any non-factory sounds that you want
to keep, save them to disk now! For more information,
see “Saving data” on page 191.
Make sure that Memory Protect is off
Before loading, make sure that Memory Protect is turned
off:
1. Press the front-panel GLOBAL button.
2. Go to the Basic tab of the Basic Setup page.
3. Make sure that all of the Memory Protect check-boxes
are not checked.
Loading from the internal disk
Generally, it will be more convenient to load sounds from
the internal disk:
1. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
2. Go to the Load tab of the File page.
3. Use Drive Select to select HDD.
The LCD screen will show the files and folders on the
internal disk.
4. Touch the FACTORY folder to select it.
5. Press the on-screen Open button.
The LCD will now show the contents of the FACTORY
folder.
6. Select the PRELOAD.PCG file.
7. Press the Load button.
The Load PCG dialog box will appear.
8. Use “.PCG Contents” to select the data you want to
load. To completely restore the factory sounds, select
All.
“All” will load all of the factory sounds, including Programs,
Combinations, Set Lists, Drum Kits, Wave Sequences, and
Drum Track patterns.
For more information on the factory sounds, see “Program
bank contents” on page 31, “Combination bank contents” on
page 63, “Drum Kit memory structure” on page 186, and
“Wave Sequence banks” on page 178.
9. Set “.KSC Allocation” to Clear All.
10.Set the Load Method for EXs and User Sample Banks
to KSC Settings.
11.Press the OK button to load the data.
Next, to make sure that the KSC loads automatically at
startup:
12.Go to the Global Basic—KSC Auto-Load page.
13.In the list of KSCs, check the Auto-load box next to
PRELOAD.KSC.
14.Un-check all of the other KSCs.
Loading from Accessory Disc 3
If the sounds have somehow been erased from the internal
drive, you can also load them from Accessory Disc 3:
1. Insert the included Accessory Disc 3 into a connected
USB DVD drive.
2. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
3. Wait for a few seconds, to give the KRONOS time to
recognize the disk.
4. Go to the Load tab of the File page.
5. Use Drive Select to select CDD.
The LCD screen will show the files and folders on the disk.
6. Follow the instructions in steps 4 through 14 under
“Loading from the internal disk,” above.
Never attempt to remove media while data is being
loaded.
