Best way to find specific sounds?

Hi - with the hundreds/thousands of patches on the Kronos, is there a 'best practice' for locating a specific sound, or do you have to literally read through 20 pages of patches in the manual each time? For example, I need to see if there is a Mellotron patch or a Monosynth -- what's the easiest/fastest way to find those, or any other sound?

Thanks!

Use sub- catagories ie. pianos ,organs,lead synths,strings, etc

Then after finding your favorites, assign them to your favorites sub-category for easy and quick access in the future.

With PCG Tools you can very easily make patches favorite (or unfavorite), you can create a list of all favorite patches (creating a text/table or web site page) and maybe most of all: you can search for texts through all your patches at once (e.g. find all programs, combis and set lists with Organ in it).

Read the OG on how to select sounds by "Category".

To help clarify what nitecrawler said, read the OG section on "Favorites".

I noticed that it is very hard to find for example a drumkit with specific sounds

What do you mean by 'specific sounds' ?

What about finding a drum track pattern? If I am right, there are no categories?
