I'm exploring it for almost a year now and far from finished!
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

I've started to make a list of resources for the Kronos, in anticipation of mine arriving in June.
In addition to the manuals, worthy of consideration:
Qui Robinez (tutorials) (sounds) - download sounds from Karma Labs
Korg USA (tutorials)
Alchemist Music Studio (sounds)
Karma Labs "Catalyst Volume 1"
PCG Tools (Windows)

1) Try not to lose too much sleep whilst you wait with for its arrival with eager anticipation!
2) Download and read the manuals
3) Download and install the editor. You can use it without the KRONOS connected and it will give you a very good idea of how the KRONOS is organised and laid out.
4) Brief loved ones that it's likely you will not be found for several weeks

join the club!
Don't forget to check the download section here, it contains some very good sound libraries.
But... you should probably start exploring the default sounds and combis, then you can start adding new ones.
Also check the libraries sold by Korg, some of them are really good... but they're not cheap!

Hope you don't mind I do it:
Go to www.korgforums.com
Then select Downloads on the Left
And Kronos on the right.
Btw, Oasys files can also be loaded in the Kronos.

There are different options:
1) Save your current memory into a PCG file and load the downloaded one (so you can switch between the two)
2) You can load one or more banks of a PCG file (download, store it on a USB disk and use Open in Disk mode instead of Load, then select a bank or patch and press Load)
3) You can use PCG Tools (See link below) for copy/pasting (and more) between different PCG files.
