Okay. I have a number of samples all programmed to programs, but they take up a lot of RAM. Any easy way to save those existing RAM samples to hdd to free up some RAM space??? Thanks.

I'd recommend reading the chapter on Sampling in the Kronos Op Guide.
In summary, you want to save your RAM samples to User Banks.

If you have a single set of samples that you always use, save all your sample data as a KSC. (Disk Mode / Save / Save Sampling Data)
This will create files "mysamples.KSC" and "mysamples_UserBank.KSC"

Then go to Global P0 Basic Setup / KSC Auto-Load, and "Add KSC".
Select your "mysamples_UserBank.KSC" , and then press "Do Auto-Load Now"

Then all your samples will be loaded as UserBanks which use a small fraction of RAM compared to having samples in RAM. Then you can load other user banks or samples that can be saved as additional user banks. In my KSC autoload page, I have about 20 userbanks I load by default. You can select and deselect with the checkboxes if you ever exceed the capacity of userbanks.

Note that if you want to edit the sample bank later, you have to load "mysamples.KSC", do your editing, then save as a KSC again. You can't edit a UserBank.
