Thanks Giner.... will explore

I have a PA800 maybe 5 yrs old which I love. The screen does not activate so cannot select voices/songs etc. A repairer near me in Lismore NSW has tried for weeks to find replacement touch screen to no avail. Korg tells him the model is obsolete no spares available anywhere. I am shocked that Korg ...

OK Thanks. I have unscrewed the bottom section & was able to partially separate the 2 halves..... however several wires are attached to both. I'm not a skilled handyman so was reluctant to fiddle with the wires. I think maybe I should find a techo guy who understands electronics.... I'm just a ...

Thanks music..... but I have no idea how to open up the keyboard. There are what looks like 3 inspection panels plus a whole heap of screws too. I did open the small panel which showed a few wires seemingly OK. The larger panels seemed to be made of stiff cardboard which I failed to prise open ...

The screen lights up but shows no data. Other keys are active but I cannot select options with a blank screen. HELP please

I have recorded some tunes into my PA800 songbook which I wish to copy to a CD. Its prob shown elsewhere in the forums but can't find it. Can you please tell me the best way to do this without spending heaps? I am non-technical so please explain in terms a 5yr old child (!) may understand. Just love ...

OK Pete...do you hear the sound of pennies dropping? What I did not do was to hold the pedal down while I clicked on push.
Don't the authors of these manuals realise that some of us are not very bright? Ask me to find a F#aug with a flattened 9th= no problem.
Anyway thanks for your help

Thanks Pete....but still no go. I had the pedal lead in the DAMPER socket prior to OS2 & that was fine. The OS2 manual says stick it in the ASSIGN PEDAL socket, so I did and followed the instructions. I kept getting an error message saying: OUT OF RANGE, TRY AGAIN So went thru the procedure again ...

Ah but there is the problem......darned if I can understand how to calibrate that pedal!

Prior to OS2 I could reverse the polarity of the damper pedal as shown in the PA800 manual page 212...under Global/Controllers.
I now find this option is no longer there after OS2...I have continuous sustain unless I hold the damper pedal down.
What have I missed?

OK thanks Rikki

Again thank you Rikki....I joined. I saw some interesting styles there where I read "Attched find.....etc" but darned if I can see any attachments!
Clicked on just about everything but missed something.
Kind regards

Following this thread with great interest, learning lots....thanks. My fav bonus style so far is called strangely "Piano 4 tett" which I suppose translates into "quartet". Just the job for improvising around tunes like "Satin Doll" or "Autumn Leaves" If you know of any other styles similar to that ...

Thanks again rikki. Don't leave the country....I may have other questions later.
Best Regards
