Restoring the factory settings

Restoring the original sounds

You can easily restore the Programs, Combinations,
Drum Kits, Wave Sequences, Set Lists, and EXs
samples to their original state as shipped from the
factory. This is done by loading the PRELOAD.PCG
file, which is included both on Accessory Disk 2 and
the internal disk.
This operation will erase all of the internal
KRONOS sounds. If there are any non‐factory
sounds that you want to keep, save them to disk
now! For more information, see "Saving data" on
page 181.
Make sure that Memory Protect is off
Before loading, make sure that Memory Protect is
turned off:
1. Press the front‐panel GLOBAL button.
2. Go to the Basic tab of the Basic Setup page.
3. Make sure that all of the Memory Protect check‐
boxes are not checked.
Loading from the internal disk

from the internal disk:
1. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
2. Go to the Load tab of the File page.
3. Use Drive Select to select HDD.
The LCD screen will show the files and folders on the

Disk 2:

connected USB DVD drive.
2. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
