All you need to do is select  “Software” for the editor and select Operating System for O/S 1.6. You will also need to visit the “Drivers” section to download the latest USB-MIDI driver.

Korg Kronos OS v1.6, which is required to run the Editor/Plug-In Editor. In addition to various bug fixes, this update also adds an “Uninstall EXs” command, which will completely remove selected EXs data from the internal SSD.

Thank you very much for this free update

At Musikmesse in Frankfurt  today, a Korg demonstrator explained  that in a few weeks there will be a new operating system 1.6 with editor software. This will make it very easy to edit eveything on a PC or MAC instead of staring at the small screen – Great News.

Alongside this today, Korg is also pleased to announce that KARO EXs Expansion Sample Series and KRS Professional Sound Series libraries are now available for the Kronos Music Workstation. KARO is a sound design team based in Germany, who have been producing high-quality sounds for Korg workstations for several years. Korg is pleased to welcome KARO as the first third-party KRONOS sound developer in their store.

INTRODUCTION TO THE KORG KRONOS

For the synth players amongst you, 2011’s biggest highlight so far has got to be the release of the new Korg Kronos – a nine synth in one beast.

KORG KRONOS MUSIC WORKSTATION SYNTHESIZER

The most interesting product to come out of the WINTER NAMM SHOW 2011 at Anaheim California that started yesterday, has got to be the shiny – look of the new flagship workstation synth from KORG known as the KRONOS.

I have tracked down its incredibly impressive specifications for your consideration. I do not have any idea on price at present but after seeing Korg’s one hour presentation at NAMM, it seems that they have packed in everything they ever done from the MS20 to the SV1.  Purchasing this keyboard probably means you need little else.  The KRONOS will without doubt become a main part of Korg’s history. Have a look at this:-
