Korg EX's

[CGoodhines]

Where can I find out which sounds came from which EX's (I'm thinking of shortening my boot time by eliminating some EX's from autoloading)?
I need to know what's on...
EXS-1 ROM expansion
EXS-5 ROM expansion 2
EXS-17 SGX-2 Berlin D piano
EXS-18 Korg EXS collections.

I don't think I have EXS-17 installed.

are you sure you want to give up your original Korg factory preload ? true , you might gain 20 seconds in time ( set). Seems like a lot to give up on.

17 and 18 have voice name lists you can easily d/l from the Korg store

Don't really want to wipe out the original factory preload, just wasn't sure what was on them. I'll check out the Korg store again for #17 and 18, but didn't see anything earlier.

they should have a PDF for the voice list, possibly with the blurb on the sample lib

17/18 is buried under " New Kronos Sound Pack "

its obviously not new.

the 17 or Berlin has only 8 Programs. in your A or AA bank. Each program says Berlin in the title.

Here's the Sound Pack email from over 2 yrs ago:

Dear KRONOS user,

• EXs17 SGX-2 Berlin D Piano
Contents: Approximately 8.6GB of PCM samples, 16 Piano Types.

One of the three great pianos of the world, this legendary instrument from Berlin has been captured for the SGX‐2 sound engine. The KRONOS piano engine has always offered huge collections of non-looped/natural decay stereo samples, recorded for every key, with additional unique tools to customize the piano to your needs. Inheriting all of this SGX-1 functionality, the new enhanced SGX-2 Grand Piano engine introduces the new Berlin Grand Piano, including 12 velocity zones, Sympathetic String Resonance and newly-recorded Una Corda (soft pedal - literally "one-string")
The EXs17 Berlin Grand Piano offers resonant piano sound with striking sense of depth.

• EXs18 KORG EXs Collections
Contents: Approximately 900MB of PCM samples, 93 Multisamples (42 stereo)

EXs18 contains a selection of string, choir and brass sounds from the three KORG EXs titles listed below.
・ EXs11 Legendary Strings
・ EXs15 Classical and Ambient Choir
・ EXs16 Funk and Soul Brass

• KRS-07 Sound Pack 3.0
Contents: 256 Programs, 32 Combinations, 13 Wavesequences, 1 Set List

KRS-07 provides new Programs which use the samples from EXs17 and EXs18. Additional Song Programs are named for the classic rock and pop songs whose signature keyboard sounds these programs recreate. Use these universally well-known sounds to pay homage to the originals, or as the basis for personal sonic explorations.

Don't delete your EXs. I did by accident last week and things went WAY bad in K2 land. Your combis will never be the same, trust me!

you definitely should ask questions ( which you are doing) and be clear of the total impact of deleting files.

Especially factory PCG;s and EX sample libs that you paid money for.

because once you check out of Hotel Kronos, it won't be simple to get back in

thats unfortunate- you weren't aware of the Combis dependency on Programs ?

same with Song files.

I'm aware now. It took some time to get things back to normal.
