I did something really, really stupid....

I or someone in my family apparently threw out my Kronos Operation manual.

Thank goodness for my iPad and the Electronic manual, but still I'm so pissed.

Anyone know if they sell the manuals separately?

Nope, you have to print it yourself - surely you remember doing that?

Unless you mean the quickstart guide, that one is printed.

Kinkos!

I just had to google kinkos, to work out what it meant. Never heard of them, but I bet there's an office printer near you that could be persuaded to do it!

It does take a while to polypocket it in a leverarch folder, but you can add updates, replacements, notes and cartoons as and when.

I checked out FedEx printing services (They bought out Kinkos) and when I upload the electronic manual to get an estimate the file is rejected because it is a non-standard size. This is for a "Manual". I'll have to try for a "Presentation" and if that doesn't work, try Staples.

I would recommend waiting until the new OS release. I believe that the manuals will be updated at that time.

If you want to get the manuals printed, it may help to tell the printer that the size is A4 (the standard "letter" size almost everywhere *except* the USA).

Personally, I far prefer the electronic versions. I try my best to make them leverage the advantages of the PDF format, with hot-links for tables of contents, cross-references, and so on. Plus, they're searchable.

Best regards,

Dan

Is there a part number to order this from Korg?

Sorry to hear about that but: my poor old computer doesn't even have a dvd reader in it so I can't access the discs at all' I went to the Korg/Kronos site, then to support and downloaded all the PDF files except for the quick start manual. I haven't printed them off yet.
Maybe try that?

Thanks for that Dan. I keep the manuals on my iPad next to the Kronos and simply love the cross-linking through the PDF.

That is a great idea!

I use my iPad for all my manuals and sheet music. I use it with the AirTurn for hands free page turning.
