I love the sounds on my Kronos 2, but the learning curve....

Lost a bunch of sounds doing the 3.0.4 upgrade, fortunately I backed up everything prior to doing the upgrade. I have been able to recreate the original configuration from the factory. so that is solved

Have the Synthonia Pink Floyd Collection and when I try to load it it gives me a choice '..was made in a previous version do I want to update the mapping...'

If i chose not to update, sounds like rubbish

When I update, it eliminates a bunch of previous sounds just like when I did the update.

In a perfect world I would like to return to my factory sounds and ADD IN the additional sounds from the 3rd party sound pack.

Any one up to the challenge of educating me??

i don't know what kind of sound set that is, but that message during the load tells you that it was saved with an earlier firmware version.

The new kronos firmware does indeed show a remap question, this is because the program order of the kronos 2 is different. Just use the guidelines below to select yes or no to that question.

If you have a Kronos 2, then you will get a message during the load process where it asks if you want to remap the sounds. In that case select Yes if you have a kronos 2, because the program order of the kronos 2 is different and then the remapping occurs automatically.

If you have a Kronos 1 or Kronos X then if you get the message during the load process where it asks if you want to remap the sound, then select No, because the kronos 1 and X have the original program order.

Now it could be possible that it will override a kronos 2 program bank, if the default location of that sound set points to an existing one that is in use. I can't check it for you because i don't know that sound set, but if it is overriding a default location then it's easy to remap them. Check tutorial 20 on my site or YouTube channel to see how to do this kind of remapping and loading in different locations
