Yeah, that's how I feel too, but for average users who don't want to be bothered with any of this, a feature like this might give them a starting point for home use. I would love to find out what korg's definition of Midi to style conversion is.

still 4 outputs ? are you freaking kidding me ?
400 sampling?
USB 2.0 for loading and saving?
Why are the keys on the 61 key version semi weighted and piano shaped?
why aren't they like the M3 keys ? or simply Synth action keys?

All this is what the pa3x should of been.

Seeing as how direct outs bypass all effects, for the large majority of users they are of little use other than perhaps separating a played bassline to go off to a bass rig onstage with a live band...

A separate out can also send a click track to a drummer.

But the deal is, two extra outs usually does the trick... Separate outs adds considerably to a keyboard's costs, requiring separate D/A's and output circuitry and jacks. I simply didn't get why there's much of a pressing need for more than four.

Mind you, my BK-9 only has the one pair of outs, but it DOES have a dedicated click out. That's enough for me... If I play live LH bass, the band gets to hear my other parts, too! Serves them right Twisted Evil

I know that it may sound a bit redundant, since the PA4X is an arranger, but what about adding KARMA to it?

This one also looks the closest to an OASYS in case design as well.

It would be really cool that in addition to the arranger features, that it would have KARMA as well. Then, make an 88-key version of this board to be another option and I really think that they would have another winner.

I know that I would surely get one if it had Karma on it. I would save up lotsa money to get an arranger with KARMA on it.

Grace,
Harry

Apparently you don't get to choose or set anything manually so it seems. If that's the case, it probably has a guideline as to how the midi file should be prepared for this purpose? Also, it might come with some pre-sets for different genres? They really should do a video on this feature alone. (Hopefully in English)

In theory is possible using some intelligent scripting to convert midi to style.
Software can recognize similar loops chord progression, different Drums beat, extract Fills, separate Intro and End, but I don't think Korg developers went that far, especially midi can be not perfect, all is kinda unique.
My guess is what they did, they maybe did reverse engineering, mean basic on many midi create on Backing Sequence mode, but who knows.
Back to years ago when they advertise Voice remover on Video everybody was shock, so cool,.... but we know how this work Wink

For now we just have to wait until are forum experts get in their hands Pa4x and find out the true, then posted details.
On other hands I believe if you do some preparing, modification in midi this feature may be good tool.
I already like Pa4x for store chord sequencer and Direct load styles.
Great Job !!!
Also I hope they did improve midi Messages to get more control over pads and maybe just maybe add the way using midi to start/ stop Chord sequencer.
