It appears to not be an option to rename the sd card anything other that the default “korg sd”. What am I missing here? “Rename” is faded out even when the sd drive is the only thing selected

I haven't tried renaming. I put mine in the bottom SD slot, and it named itself SD2, so I left it. I assumed naming it was going to be out of the question once I saw the board did it for me. If I saw "generic" or "unbranded" etc, I would have attempted to rename.

Speaking of SD slots...

I thought I read once that the bottom slot was for the super fast cards(the Lexar I had on hand was the faster type). Is there any truth to this? *I found nothing in the pdf manual about it.

Page 1615 of the Pa5X_User_Manual_v12_E.pdf states

"To expand the available onboard storage memory, you can install an (optional) microSD card. The card can be installed by the user. Do not use types of cards other than the one indicated (microSD), or you risk to damage the instrument!

You can use both slots, but we recommend to prefer the upper one for storing your data, since it is a high-speed slot. The card must be in the FAT32 format."

On page 677 it states Pa5X supports external devices, like hard disk drives or USB memory sticks, formatted FAT32 or FAT16 with long file names. For maximum compatibility, we recommend to format an external device before saving data on it the first time (see Formatting a drive on page 733)."

So maybe a SD card formatted on a computer should be accessible; and it is on the computer that the SD card can be given the name.

I've downloaded it, I can't stand looking thru pdfs. Has anyone Printed it out...and it may not equal the same amount of pages on paper compared to the pdf.

I can't imagine going to fedex/kinkos and printing that out. Maybe a cpl chapters at a time?
