Kid Nepro and Korg synthesizers go back to 1984, when we released our first set of sounds for the original Poly 800 synthesizer. Over the past thirty years, we have created thousands of sounds for over twenty five Korg synths. So, when Korg released Krome (their newest workstation), it was only natural that we continue doing what we do best – make new sounds for it.

The Krome synth engine is similar the Korg’s Kronos HD-1 engine, which we know very well. That made it easy to get up to speed with Krome and start programming new sounds right away. With a little help from our friends at Korg, we immediately imported 32 MB of our best analog synth samples into Krome and went to work creating new programs and combis from the new samples. The result is our first release for Krome – Vintage Synths.

In addition to the 32 MB of new samples, Krome Vintage Synths features 64 programs and 16 combis ($49. USD). All programs and combis include drum track and arpeggio function (so you can easily jam along), as well as control assignments to Krome’s joystick, user knobs and switches. The result is the best analog sounds with the best modern controls that will inspire you to do what you do best – create cool new music.

When we get our hands on a new synth, we spend a lot time with it in order to create the finest new sounds possible. It can take a year or longer to complete a sound library for today’s modern workstation’s. So, we just wanted to let everyone know that we will be continuing our support for Korg’s next generation workstation and we will be creating several new sound libraries for Krome over the next year. Get on our mailing list and we will keep you posted with more details on what’s coming for Krome. It’s going to be awesome!

Please contact us if you have any questions about any of our Krome Sound Libraries.

Kid Nepro is one of few sounds companies still supporting vintage samplers that use the old floppy disks. While we still offer the floppies for sale and delivery by snail mail, we have now made available most of our vintage sampler floppy disks as .img (image) files that can be downloaded. That means no more waiting for those old floppies to arrive in the mail. We have also slashed the price in half on all downloadable floppies images. Now only $5. for each disk image, as well as big savings on bulk orders. Email Us and let us know how many disks your looking to pick up. We will send you a price quote.

The not so good news is that you need a PC computer with an “internal floppy drive” in order to create your own floppy disks with the image files that you download. We include a free app with your order that lets you create the floppy disks. The app is for PC’s only. You can not do this with an external floppy drive. It will work with internal floppy drives only.

If you have the right hardware set up, then pick up a bunch of floppy’s and your ready to roll. Remember to choose the correct floppy type for your sampler. Many of the old samplers use the “High Density” 1.44 MB disks. They are getting harder to find these days, there are still many places were you can get them. A quick google search will turn up several. However, a few old samplers will only read “Double Density” 720k disks. We have listed them below. Those can be pretty hard to find any more, but you can still get some if you look around.

If you need any more info, just Email Us or give a call and we will be happy to help. Here is a list of what is available. Just click each link to bring you to the floppy disk lists.

The price of the floppy’s are $10. each at the links below, when sent through snail mail, but only $5. each when downloaded as image files. Contact us with the image numbers of the files you would like and we will send you a price quote. Killer deals on bulk orders. The more you buy, the more you save!

Korg Kronos Volume #9 – EXi Super Synths combines four Kronos synth engines to create an amazing mix of classic and modern synth sounds. 64 Programs – 32 Combis – Only $39. USD.

Korg really raised the bar when they included nine different sound engines under the hood of Kronos. One of the coolest features available in Kronos is being able to combine two different engines (in program mode) and as many as all nine if you want to take things to the max in combi mode.

After focusing on programming sounds for the individual engines in our fist eight Kronos sound libraries, we thought the time was right to put together a collection of sounds that combines several of the engines. Since we wanted it to be a EXi “Synth” library, we picked the synth engines which were best at recreating that style – Mod-7, Al-1, MS-20 & Poly 6.

All programs have two OSC’s and two engines included in each patch. Combis include all four engines together as well as drums and percussion from the HD-1 engine in the drum track and KARMA modules. The results are a truly unique set of “Super Synth” sounds that bring together the best of what is possible in each of the Kronos sound engines.

New sounds for a vintage beat box. The worlds biggest sound library for the classic EMU SP1200 just got even bigger. Kid Nepro has just released 33 new sample disks to increase the library to a humongous 150 disks.

The new sound disks include a wide range of new dub step, hip hop, rock, reggae, 8 bit, R&B and electronic drum kits, as well as new kicks and snares, percussion and “circuit bend madness”, which contains a mix of sound effects and unusual drums and percussion. There is also a new mix of guitars, basses and synth sounds in each kit to add some spice to your drum tracks.

Now that Korg has given us the ability to save our new samples as “user banks”, it is now possible to use several sound libraries at the same time. It’s worth taking an hour or so to set up everything, since after it’s done then all you have to do is turn on your Kronos and everything will be loaded and ready to go. After your done, you can just do a “save all” and save all your the PCG data in memory. Then if you have a disk crash, system error or if you want to load in something else, getting everything back will be easy.

Listed below is an overall view of exactly how we have things set to load for each of our PCG Kronos Sound Libraries. Note that this is just how you set up the PCG files. For more info on how to deal with the KSC sample files, visit this link.

NOTE: Getting several of our Kronos sound libraries into memory at the same time requires moving some PCG files around. Note that Kronos 2 PCG’s are set up a little differently on some libraries.

V2 & V7 Both use Program USER GG

V4 & V8 Both Use Program USER CC

V9 & V10 Both Use Program USER AA & Combi USER A

V1 & V7 Both use Combi USER G

V3, V4 & V7 Both use Combi USER C

Since two sound libraries can not occupy the same bank at the same time, you have to move one of them to another bank in order to be able to access both at the same time. To do that, follow the instructions AT THIS LINK:

Don’t forget to check your combis after you have moved things to see if they are referencing the correct programs. If they sound weird, then they are probably not set up correct.

V1 Vintage Synths – Programs – USER G – Combis – USER G

V2 Soundtrack Mix – Programs – USER GG – Combis – INT G

V3 Hit Factory – Programs, Drum Kits – USER EE – Combis – USER C – Kronos 2 = Combis USER F

V4 Sonix Bliss – Programs – USER CC – Combis – USER C

V5 Dark Energy – Programs – USER BB – Combis – USER B – Kronos 2 = Programs USER CC – Combis USER C

V6 Electric Guitars – Programs – USER FF – Combis – USER A – Guitar Loops – User Drum Patterns 000-015

V7 Wave Machine – Programs, Drum Kits & Wave Sequences – USER GG – Combis – USER G

V8 Analog Sensation – Programs – USER CC – Combis – USER C

V9 EXi Super Synths – Programs – USER AA – Combis – USER A – Kronos 2 = Programs USER CC – Combis USER C

V10 Vintage Synths 2 – Programs – USER AA – Combis – USER A – Kronos 2 = Programs USER CC -Combis  USER C

V11 Electric Guitars V2 – Programs USER-CC Bank and Combis USER-C Bank

V12 Vintage Synths 3 / Midi Mix – Programs USER-CC Bank and Combis USER-C Bank

V13 Electric Pianos – Programs USER-GG

V14 Classic Rock – Programs USER-GG and Combis USER-G Bank

V15 Electric Guitars V3 – Programs USER-DD and Combis INT-D Bank

Lot’s of Kronos users have been asking me how we added the guitar loops to our Kronos Electric Guitar sound library. Here’s how…

Load your wav file loop into the Korg Kronos workstation via the disk load. Remember that wav files must be 16 bit. Go to “sampling” and choose the next available Multi Sample slot.

Choose Rename MS and give it a new name. Lets name it “Drum Loop 1”.

Choose page 2: “loop edit”
Go to top right and choose the arrow and scroll to “time slice” and choose it.
That will get you to the “set sample tempo” page:
Beat = how many 1/4 note beats in the loop (1 bar = 4 beats – 2 bars = 8 beats etc.)
Source BPM = must match the tempo of the loop. If you know how many 1/4 note beats are in the loop just set it to the correct amount and the BPM will automatically fill in the correct tempo.

Choose “ok”. That will bring you to the time slice page.

Note the “sensitivity” parameter is set to 25. For most loops it’s OK to leave it at 25. However some loops require you to lower the sensitivity. If you find that your loop has a “gap” in it (Usually one measure) then you need to lower the sensitivity parameter. Usually lowering it to about 10 should work, however we have used loops where it had to be lowered to as low as 3 to get it to work right. Experiment to find the correct setting for your loop. Remember that the higher you set the sensitivity, the more slices your loop will have and the more you will be able to change the tempo of the loop without affecting the pitch.

Choose “save”. That brings up the “save samples & ms” page.

The top section should be the same: Beat & BPM that you already set at the “set sample tempo” page. Do not use the time stretch function or change anything over there. The “save with” parameters must be set as follows: Check program and choose the program slot where you want to save the time sliced loop data. You must also save the program and set it’s category to “drums”. Then it will be visable to the drum track parameters. You can do that later.
Check “seq event” and “pattern” Below you can keep the song, pattern and meter the same unless you already have something else stored in the song or user pattern memory. The meter should stay at 4/4 unless your loop happens to be in another time signature.?Leave the RPPR settings as is: C#2 – Track 1
Choose “save”. That brings you back to the time slice sample page. Choose “exit”

Note that your next available multi sample slot will be filled in with the time slice data. Before moving ahead you should also rename your multi sample. Name it: Drum Loop 1 Time Slice.

Go to “sequencer mode” – Page 10 “Pattern/RPPR”. Hit the start/stop button and if everything has been set correctly you should hear your loop playing. If the loop plays and there is a gap then you have to go back and lower the sensitivity parameter as stated above.

If the loop plays smoothly then first give your drum pattern a name and then choose the arrow in the top right corner of the page and choose “convert to drum track pattern”. Pick where you want the pattern to live and choose “note only”. Leave “all patterns available” blank.

If you have done everything correctly, your sample loop has been converted to a drum pattern and the extra bonus from time slicing the loop means that you can now change the tempo of the loop without affecting the pitch. Note that some loops do this better then others. Large changes in tempo usually affect the sound of the loop.

To get the new user drum pattern into the program or combi that your working with just choose the program that you assigned the time slice data to and the user drum pattern that you assigned the loop to.

After your done, don’t forget to “save sampling data” as a KSC file and also save your new programs/combis as a PCG file. Check out our “working with samples” tutorial for more info.

Here’s how to have our sample libraries load automatically when you start Kronos. For maximum flexibility, best to keep your KSC files separate and enable/disable each KSC on the Auto-Load page as desired. Just follow these three simple steps.

1- After you download and save our files to your external hard drive, find the Kid Nepro Kronos folder and copy it to your Kronos Internal Hard Drive. To do that, choose the folder and go to “Utility/Copy”. Change the Drive Select to “Internal HD”, then choose “Paste”.

2- Go to Disk/Load. Find the Kid Nepro folder, choose open and choose the Kid Nepro User Bank KSC. Load the User Bank KSC into memory.
