5. To execute initialization, press the MENU (OK)
button; if you decide not to execute, press the
FUNCTION (CANCEL) button.
When you press the MENU (OK) button, a confirmation
dialog box will appear; press the MENU (OK) button to
execute initialization.
Initializing the system
If operation becomes unstable, initializing the system may
stabilize it.
1. Turn off the power of the KROSS.
2. Initialize the KROSS. While holding down the EXIT
button ( ) and FUNCTION button, turn on
the power of the KROSS.
The KROSS will be initialized, and data will be written
into internal memory. While the data is being processed,
the display will indicate “Now writing into internal
memory.” After initialization, you’ll need to load the
preload data.
In Global/Media mode, execute the “Load Preload/Demo
Data” function to load the data. (see page 131)
Updating the system
You can update the KROSS’s system software by loading the
most recent system file, which you can download to your
computer from the Korg website (http://www.korg.com).
• Copy the system file onto an SD card, insert the SD card
into the KROSS, go to the GLOBAL> BASIC page, and
execute the Update System Software function.
For details on the procedure, please see the Korg website and
“Update System Software” on page 177 of the Parameter
Guide.
This cannot be used while the SD card's Automatic
loading at start-up is in progress, nor while the audio
recorder is recording or playing back.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems, please see the relevant item and
take the appropriate measures.

□ Could the Auto Power-Off function be enabled? → p.18
Problems at start-up
After you turn the power on, nothing appears on the
display, or the display is very dim or dark. The KROSS
works correctly when you play the keyboard or perform
other operations.
□ Adjust the display contrast by holding down the EXIT
button ( ) and turning the VALUE dial.
You can also make adjustments using the GLOBAL>
SYSTM (SYSTEM) page LCD Contrast setting. → p.117
After you turn the power on, the contents of the display
remain unchanged for a long time, and the KROSS does
not work correctly when you play the keyboard or perform
other operations.
□ It may be that the data on the SD card is damaged.
Remove the SD card from the KROSS and start it up. If
the KROSS starts up normally, don’t use that SD card.
□ It may be that the internal data of the KROSS is damaged.
(Such a state can occur if writing to internal memory did
not end successfully, for example if you powered-off the
KROSS while a program or other data was being written
to internal memory.)
