I've got the pa1000 and am very satisfied with it. I would like to see is a keyboard sets lock on the main screen. Not a massive thing but it's something that I expected on pa1000 when I bought it and was disappointed to see it was not. It is on the pa4x so I can't see a problem of it being added in a minor update. Maybe just wishful thinking as possibly a new mid range keyboard may be in the offing at some point as per Korgs usual upgrade schedules.

If anyone knows of a way to achieve this through the existing controls as I can't find a way then I would be grateful for the information.

Thanks siebenhirter for a very comprehensive reply. Maybe we'll get lucky and korg will read and finally react to these problems. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Hello Keith,

since the Pa1000 was first delivered, I often have complained about a solution to the faulty Style-To-KbdSet function.
Mr Dirk Lindeman thinks the Keyboard-Set-Lock function is also suitable for the Pa1000, with which the Pa4x was also updated in retrospect.

Mr. Lindemann informed me by email as follows:
Ich selbst sehe auch die Lock-Funktion als die sinnvollste Ergänzung im Pa1000 und hoffe, dass das für Sie auch so funktionieren kann, denn für Medleys und andere Lieder,
in denen man mehr als vier Spielsounds einsetzen möchte, macht dies vollkommen Sinn. Da gebe ich Ihnen recht.
So denn, wir bleiben weiter dran und ich hoffe, dass wir Ihnen mit einem Update bald helfen können.

Translated: I myself also see the Lock function as the most useful addition to the Pa1000 and I hope that this can work for you too, because for medleys and other songs,
where you want to use more than four game sounds, this makes perfect sense. You're right.
So then, we'll keep at it and I hope that we can help you with an update soon.

Unfortunately, as usual, Korg has obviously forgotten about customers in the mid-range area, because I received this message on September 6, 2021.

Nothing has happened in the meantime - not even this minor change like the Pa4x has been made. Since Dirk Lindemann is Product Manager at Korg Italy S.P.A. I would have wished that Korg's support wouldn't be neglected anymore - I think unfortunately the opposite happened.

The whole thing is very annoying and therefore I will no longer be interested in a Korg product in the future as long as the manufacturer maintains this kind of disdainful support for customers with mid-range products.

Equally the modifications could be made for Pa700 owners there are plenty of entry level owners also.
