Introduction
The KRONOS Editor and KRONOS Plug-in Editor are applications for Macintosh and Windows that allow you to edit the KRONOS's Set List, Combination, Program, Wave Sequence, Drum, and Global settings, as well as Sequencer mode sounds and effects for multi-timbral use (editing of MIDI and audio data is not supported).

The KRONOS Editor is a stand-alone editor/librarian.
The KRONOS Plug-in Editor is compatible with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and other applications which have support for the VST and AU audio plug-in formats. (32-bit plug-in only. This plug-in is not currently available in 64-bit)

New Features in Version 3.0

KRONOS system version 3.0 adds functionality for the SGX-2, makes the vintage effects available anywhere effects are used, adds enhancements to the Set List, adds new Global parameters, adds the ability to specify HD-1 or EXi bank types for INT Program Banks and features the ability to edit Programs in the context of Combinations and Songs. The KRONOS Editor version 3.0 adds support for these new features.

New Features in Version 2.1

Support for KRONOS software version 2.1.0, including the new CX-3 features and the Global Mute Mode parameter.
Overview/Page Jump. Clicking on most of the graphics on the Program Play Main page, such as filters, LFOs, or envelopes, will jump to the appropriate page of parameters, similar to the KRONOS’s Play Page.

New Features in Version 2.0

Support for KRONOS software version 2.0.2
Fast determination of KRONOS-Editor synchronization, in many cases avoiding the need for lengthy data transfers
Midnam name file export for Pro Tools and Digital Performer
Support for User Sample Banks, so that you can select all your custom sample data by name, and not simply by number

Computer Hardware Requirements
The KRONOS Editor's hardware requirements are minimal compared to today's typical systems and you should be able to run the software on any of the specified operating systems.

Windows

Windows Vista (32bit, 64bit), Windows 7 (32bit, 64bit), Windows 8 (32bit, 64bit)
512 Megabytes memory (2 GB or more is recommended)
Any processor capable of running the OS (Core Duo or better is recommended)
32-bit graphics card
A monitor with 1024 x 800 graphic resolution (the software will display on smaller monitors but not optimally)
A free USB port or MIDI interface

Macintosh

OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10
512 Megabytes of memory (2 GB or more is recommended)
Any processor capable of running the OS (Intel Mac, Core Duo or better is recommended)
32-bit graphics card
A monitor with 1024 x 800 graphic resolution (the software will display on smaller monitors but not optimally)
A free USB port or MIDI interface

Note: The software is designed to run as a single instance on the computer. Consequently, it is not possible to simultaneously edit more than one KRONOS from a given computer at a time.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion compatibility note:
USB MIDI OUT transfer speed is limited when using the KORG USB-MIDI Driver under Lion. Data dumps with the Editor will take longer than expected. Upgrading to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks or 10.10 Yosemite fixes this issue.

KORG USB-MIDI Driver
The KRONOS Editor requires the KORG USB-MIDI Driver. Please visit the Drivers section on this page to download the latest available version.
