Hi Korgites,

Just registered and what a great forum Very Happy

I've just had the internal SD card replaced on my krome and it works better than ever - bugs gone, key drop out improved & running ver. 1.04. However, the boot up time has changed from 57 secs to 2 mins 40 secs - which is disconcerting to say the least?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance Laughing

What is the speed rating of the microSD card. The recommendation is HC Class 10.

Korg have incompetent engineers.
Why is the microSD replacement needed in the first place?

In this age you can use superhighspeed UHS-1 microSD with 90MB/s readspeed.

The increased boot time suggest an improperly formatted SD card like 4GB with 4k cluster size with standard windows formatter?

-If you can fix it yourself: buy/use a 8GB microSD UHS-1 Sandisk/Samsung 80-90MB/s and format it with PANASONIC SDFORMATTER.
-Else go back to the repairshop and let they do above.

P.S. You dont have an extended SD card inserted that is loading a soundpack with booting? than its normal then.

Hi Brad and thanks for the info. The card was replaced to fix the classic error message on start up. I'm not competent enough to repair it myself so I will contact the guys and pass on this advice.
I do have an extended SD card with the Triton sound library but I removed it. Should I re install this and would that help with the boot up time?
Cheers

If I remember correctly 2 mins 40 secs bootup time is normal, ask other owners.
The boot time added will be longer if its also loading the soundpacks from the extended SD card.
Let it be if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I'm inclined to agree with you and leave it alone. I use it for gigs but a power cut would be the only nightmare scenario.
Thanks for your help ☺

Mine boots up in just under a minute - running V1.01.

Agree with the others though, if it works well I wouldn't worry about it too much.
