Thanks Greg but most cars & products advertised as a new model also come with new features

So does this one.
They just decided to give part of the upgrade for free to users of the old board. The soundsets are a paid upgrade. So unless you invest in the upgrades, they're not the same keyboard. I don't see the issue.

Half a year ago I bought Cubase 7.5. Now they want $50 to upgrade to Cubase 8. They did have fre updates to finally get to version 7.5.3 but since they are adding a lot of never before seen features, they are charging.
The fact that korg does it all for free except for sounds seems totally right to me.

Same here. Bought the Kronos based on the features it had at the time of purchase, never expected ongoing development so the free updates are great. As a matter of fact, I often give a lot of thought to whether or not I actually want to update the OS! Either way, I don't mind that the sounds are not included for free to older units since I generally program what I need and the piano(s) we have suit my needs.

Copy every file and folder you see there (except Manuals) to the root of the usb drive. When you look at the contents of the usb drive, you should see that same list of files and folders (except the manuals).

Put the usb drive into the Kronos and update from the Global mode.

Man I love pushing buttons even though I don't get on here that much.

1. I do make my own patches and samples.
2. I do purchase soundbanks.
3. I just wanted to see how many buttons I could push.
4. Trust me, I know the Korg Kronos X is THE top workstation on the market.
5. This is why I switched from Roland to Korg some years ago when I purchased the M3. I could have traded in the M3 for the Kronos but we all know Sam Ash doesn't give you much for the trade in so I decided to donate it to the youth in my church to use.

p.s. Also my savings account was over $40k so cash wasn't a problem. So you understand I really don't have a problem purchasing soundbanks. I'm retired in my late 40s and money is not an issue for me. LOL...

What we now know about rpowell01.

1. He is a troll
2. He likes to brag

Hope the community remembers that next time he posts, I will.
