I have been using a Korg KROSS 2 synthesizer for quite a while now and a few days back I wanted to do a factory reset, only to find out that there is no easy and obvious way to to do it. So, I took it upon myself to make things as easy as possible for everyone. And in a few easy steps, everything will be back to how it was once you unboxed your Korg KROSS 2.

Keep in mind that you will lose your custom created presets and sounds. If you can, take a backup of everything before going ahead.

The factory reset is a great way to fix a lot of problems you might be having with certain patches. This will take everything to factory settings, allowing you to start all over with a clean slate.

Note: Before you go on, it is important that you remove any SD cards or drives from the synthesizer. Make sure you have stable AC power coming into the workstation.
