Hi Liongold

Yes I have seen these before (not heard).

I am always personally wary about the big 3rd party style packs that are for several keyboards.
Hey, these may be fine, but some samples to try out would be nice.....

I think that from the way the advert is worded they are all "PA2XPro" based styles which of course play on PA3X etc as it says...
I can't imagine that they have been created specifically for PA3X.

Also the ad says

ebay advertisement wrote:I have built up a great collection of styles for my PA keyboards over the last few years having owned a PA50, PA500 and now a PA800.

This implies simply a collection (not necessarily NEW styles).

I already have a huge collection of styles I have built up since my i3...

Maybe contact the seller for more details if you are still keen...

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete. Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I wouldn't be interested in a bunch of retreads. Anyway, it's kinda like everything, I wouldn't buy without hearing some samples first. The guy SHOULD give us a taste anyway...right?

Curiosity got the best of me so I ordered these yesterday. I'm happy I did. There are quite a lot of new 'keepers' in there for me. Well worth the $18 spent. There were about a dozen or so 'retreads', but they represent a very small percentage of the total number of styles. I would have paid $18 just to get the XMAS styles.

Here are the SETs included (each set has about 40-50 styles)

8 beat- 16 beat
BALLADS
BALLROOM
BOOGIE-ROCK
COUNTRY
DANCE
FUNK-SOUL-BLUES-GOSPEL
JAZZ
LATIN
POP
TRADITIONAL-WORLD
XMAS

Edit: changed $8 to $18

Hey Thoraldus, that's good news. I'm mostly interested in Pop, Rock, Country, Country Rock, etc., i.e. "western" styles. Hope those are good. So you're talkin' over 500 or so styles for $8, or $18? Seems too good to be true, but what the hey, I might go for it at that price. Any chance we could hear a few of the best ones? Keep rockin' those Rocky Mts.
Thanks,
Liongold

basic questions please bear with me
my apologies

in order to get these into the PA3x
is there a way to listen to them first to see if i want to install
if not
loading them into empty unused would be my desire
i assume then that having OS 1.6 i would hear the same instruments
played ?
would it be too much to ask you how to do this once i have the file/s purchased on my USB drive?

thank you very much

Just to clarify, what I meant by "western" styles was classic R&R, ballads, modern country, blues, etc. I've already got enough tangos, bossa novas, and swings...just want to rock it up a little more. I'm close to buying...would they be worth it?
Thanks again,
Liongold

Look at it this way, if there were only 18 keepers, that would be a buck a piece. Go for it.

In my opinion there are many many more than 18 keepers.

Glenn,

You can load them into your USER 1, 2 & 3 slots then move the keepers to Favorites. You can also move keepers to empty factory slots. There's a bunch of those.

If you load the .SET all the styles in the .SET will load into and overwrite the User banks. If you open the .SET then keep drilling down, opening the STYLE then the USER0x.STY you can then see and LOAD the individual styles to audition them one at a time.

For 18 $ I think I'll give these a try... I hope he'll send them ASAP via my email that I provided in comments. I'll give my feedback also on these, once I've tried them out on the PA3x.

Took exactly 1 hour from the time I purchased to getting the zip file in an email. Not bad.

Thanks for the input everyone. Of course it goes without saying...these are safe to download even though they're not officially Korg issued?

It's recommendable (and safe) to make a backup before loading anything from a source you don't know or trust.
Just in case.

As I was auditioning the styles, I only found one that would not play on my PA600. Deleted it.

There are no global settings, performances or sounds included, only styles so the risk is essentially zero.
