Same problem. Solved by:

1 - Press DISK button.
2 - Click UTILITY.
3 - Click Delete Unused WAV files.

Easy Fix / Not Error

Post by i_scotty »

This is not an error. The samples are stored in another folder outside the normal .SNG folder. As long as they exist you will keep getting this message. Note: These sample files cannot be deleted the normal way by deleting the track or measures under the Track Edit tab.

[In DISK MODE]

1. Say your .SNG folder is titled Remakes.SNG. Locate the "Remakes_A" folder on the same page.

2. Open this folder, and then open the next folder titled "ATRACK01".

3. The next page will song folder(s) titled SONG001... 003. There will be a "SONG00?" folder for each song that has a sample. Open up any of the folders. (If they are not specifically named, you'll have to just open them up and figure what's what).

4. This next page will show any .WAV files or "takes" that are attached to that song. You can play each wav file. To delete any or all, go to the Utility tab, check the "Multiple Select" button, and then delete any unwanted files.

Clearing these will make the "File already exist" notificat

It is why I always create a specific folder for each song. In this folder, there is absolutely all, all, all. And I even put the original wav files and at the evidence the audio files which have been created by the kronos from these original wav files. Then, I record the song and put the audio files into each of the audio tracks needed for that song.
So, even years after, when I open the folder of this song, I am sure that all the specific files needed are there and that there are no audio files lost. And most of all I have never had this problem of "files already exist".
Compartments and classifications make life easier for music to become free and alive ! :D
