My advice to anyone with Pa2x is not to use or load USER SAMPLES until Korg post a reply about what is happening.

If you have Loaded USER SAMPLES, and your Pa2x has locked up, then you can try reloading the system files that came on the CD.

Obviously I'm concerned about this because I wanted to change my Pa1x Pro for a Pa2x at some point in the future. But for now, I will keep my Pa1x which seems to be extremely stable and reliable.

Best regards,
Rob

my pa2x freeze about 2-3 times in 1 week, but I think because I move very fast from display without wait same working finish.
I have loaded pcm from pa1x without problem.
try this: reiinstall full software of pa2x
and load the samples, not loading the set !
simple load the sound you need (for example I have loaded user sound 1 that is my best piano ) and pa2x auto load the pcm that need
and of course do the same for every sounds
Mybe I'm luky because I dedided to load a set with many and many samples without problem, but loading only set with sounds, remove global end other not need

Hi
Do you think its the actual processor -as on a computer-the keyboard is so advanced the processor is too slow to handle information its given

my old computer used to freeze until I upgraded the processor to a better more faster chip to handle more infomation never froze again

The frustrating thing is that we have no idea why this is happening. Is it software problem? Or hardware?
I wish Korg would shed some light here.

Korg sent PM's to several individuals saying that they are investigating these faults and will post on the forum when they have diagnosed the problem. You could send a PM to tramannoni but I expect he is very busy already progressing a solution.

Hi,

Korg have diagnosed the sample RAM hardware problem. Apparently, it only applies in the case of the Pa800. There is info on www.korgpa.com under the Pa800 section, faq's. So in the case of the Pa2x there should be no problems. Go on, open the box :-)

Best regards,
Rob

So far, my pa2x pro is ok. I loaded sounds from other sets, took over 70Mb of sampling memory, did not freeze. But I did not try to import multisamples in sampling mode. I heard that's where the problem is.

I,m realy pissed of!
Sry but, Import samples are not maded for This OS on PA2X.
So, the big mis here is that KORG shud tell us, That the KB is not ready yet, Just go back for a while, No one belived that PA2X was coming out for real, No info from KORG, Just from a site (FRENCH) Or something, And later, we just :shock:
And after that i heard 256 MB of ram, I decided to buy a PA2X :wink:
Al fine,
now after a bunch of Bug reports, and freeze problems, I think its time to go over and return it back!
So guys, who is asking us on stage if the sound we are playing whit is 78 MB Piano?
We are musicians not KB builders or we are definitly not KORG Tester,s So if we ware that, than KORG is a big company, OR? They shud PAY us for that!
Couse, We are paying for a product , dont we?
It,s not free, We pay, they dont give it for nothing, I realy wanna go to evry Messe now and just tell them how bad this Product are!
I dunno, i,m just angry couse To nigth i played for 250 persons here and 2 Times i must restart the Unit!MITLE OF A DANCE, SONGBOOK!!!
The people asked me if i,m a Pro!LOL
I sad inside me, no i,m not couse the pro people dont buy CRAP!
I think i,m realy angry, this is like playing whit us, The customers! :twisted:
If this unit is not ready for marketting, than give me 2 of this KB, s and wait 3 more months, and let me tel you guys over there whats wrong and whats wrigth!
I , can this, This is not my first gig, and not the last one,
A simpel Laptop rescued me, from the horror, i played my songs as MP3,s and finished the evening!
This people are not involved if i,m a pro, or if i use KORG or Yamaha or bontempi, this guys are getting married or just wanna party, ok.
They dont care if your KB heave 899077657 MB of Ram :evil:
They care about to heave a great party and a superb nigth .
It,s my jobb to make their dreams come true as a professional musician and a entertainer,
it,s the same thing for KORG, It,s up to them for delivring a unit that WORKS, and makes that things they promissed, it must work for 4500 dollars,
And this time i dont care if my English are god or bad, Its better than the OS on the PA2X anyway!You get pissed to dont you!???
And i,m still Angry!
Hope that is ok whit you guys, :!:
