Hi!
A few suggestions (apologies if these were already made)
1) Flashing metronome light on the Style/Song On/Off button (whichever player is selected). Every synth since the 90s has had this, and of course the PA2/3/4X had them too.
2) Add the option to "convert" on of the sliders to control the balance between keys and style/song.
3) "Delete note" option in style/song/pad editing mode

These items are extremely crucial and were on the PA2x, PA3x, and PA4x. I'm really not quite sure why these were removed on the PA5x. Thank you!

It would be nice to Shift + Octave to octave up or down all upper and Lower voices all together.

The latest arranger Yamaha Genos 2 can use 16 midi tracks to create its styles. I would be nice that you for example for variation 1 call track 11 for ACC1 and for variation 2 call track 3 for ACC1.

What I mean is that you can vary tracks in your style creation per variation so you can call up more sounds in a style.

It would be nice to have a KBDSET category Favorites beside the 11 favorites you can assign with the Favorite button. So you can mark KBDSETS as favorite how much you like.

Hi, I've started to fiddle with Style Editor on Korg, and here are some suggestions for improvement (or at least things I've found inconvenient). I won't complain about the missing features that used to exist on previous Korg's keyboards (pa5x is my first Korg, but I read manuals from previous models as well: things like undo, velocity curves, step edit, etc.), and instead will concentrate on features that I think could make it even better. Hope this list of 10 items will make sense to you and maybe Korg engineers will even consider implementing these ideas in future versions of the keyboard.

1. When I want to select a note to change it (for example in the event edit or Style Edit -> Velocity) it could be great to allow me to enter a new note right from the keyboard instead of forcing me to use a dial wheel. I know I can type on the field but then the opened window should not offer to enter numbers but instead provide a virtual button for notes like G#2 (Currently I have to calculate which number corresponds to G#2)

2. CV Length - I should be able to change it and replicate the recorded bars. For example, set the initial CV length to 2, and after recording I should be able to set it to, say 4, so that the third and fourth bars will be copied from the first and the second bars. In general, I miss the ability to copy bars inside the variation/CV on Yamaha it was trivial and I used this feature a lot

3. I should be able to solo / mute tracks while the style plays in the style editor (currently I have to stop it first).

4. It could be great for drum tracks if Korg could provide a virtual keyboard (visual) and show in real-time which notes are played - this way it could be way easier to understand what sounds in the drum/percussion track (just like Yamaha did in the drum setup function)

5. Provide a "Context Aware" editing. So When I'm working on say, the percussion track and use Menu -> Style Edit -> Velocity for example I have to remember that I'm about to change the percussion track on my current variation and, and also remember the CV. Instead, since I'm already working on it anyway, korg could "remember" this across the style editing mode.

6. The Keyboard works and allows me to audition the sound only from the "main" window of the style editor - as soon as I press a "menu" button the actual keyboard gets disabled and I can't press any actual key - it won't produce any sound... Why is it so? Probably could be changed

7. "Memorize" the previously stored value. This is a global feature I would like to see but I miss it the most in the style editor.
To illustrate this, let's say I want to edit the volume on some tracks, now it's set to be 100. So I'm starting to change it but then I conclude that I want to return to the original value... If Korg could memorize the original value and then "reset" the edit to its previous original value by pressing, say, + and - simultaneously, it would be great. Otherwise, I have to memorize the value.

8. Provide a way to filter and show the event editor by notes range or even individual notes. This might be convenient if I want to hear and edit, say, only hi-hats. So I could filter and show only Hi-Hats, for example, to edit something.

9. Provide a menu item in the style editor to turn off touch sensitivity. For example, if I add some elements to the drum track it would be great if I could turn it off and add all the notes with the same velocity.

10. Improve overall stability, when I tried to add some midi events on top of the existing style converted from PA80 and apply some changes (like velocity change, quantization, etc) - Korg froze twice, and I had to restart it. I took the original style from the Korg site and converted it on my pa5x itself - so I don't expect that it could happen due to some faulty style...

Thanks again for reading and apologize in advance - English is not my native language
