Can you clear up when you say 'usb', are you referring to USB sticks, SD cards, what?

These posts are still a bit unclear. There is just the one microSD card (Rear panel), right? On the PA3xLe, but I see no SD card capability on the full PA3X at all, so I'm presuming you are talking about USB sticks?

So what you are saying is, for each protected SET you use, you need to tie up a USB slot entirely?

I'm confused! :shock:

You have to tie them all up (so no attached storage for anything else you might need) to have just the two hooked up?

How is this any good? :?

Look. when i say SET ''X' i refer to a locked usb or my own set.

SET A = my own set
SET B = locked usb
SET C = locked usb

Set A is my own set, from Set B i loaded strings and guitars to SET A.
On every upstart of the keyboard, the usb has to be connected to the front or back panel of the pa3x. This locked usb works like a key to a door, or in this case - key to the samples (guitars and strings) to work. If you on upstart would not use the locked usb. the guitars and strings will not give any sounds.
Now you have your own set + set B so lets say that you now want some drumkits and styles from SET C also. Open the SET C, do the exact steps you do as usal when you copy drumkits or styles from a set to another.

Now you have to put SET B on usb front panel and SET C on back panel when you start up your keyboard. The usb is only needed on upstart then you can take them out of the keyboard until next upstart of the keyboard.

*Note - Locked usb samples are greyed out on sound mode library. So you cant delete them one by one or edit them and resave.

*Note - if you start up the keyboard without the locked USBs, the samples will still be in your SET but greyed and not in work so you wont hear anything from them.

This sums up everything about locked usbs and how it works with them.

So, to boil it down, you get two protected SET's, tops...

You can make your own SET's from them, and by combining with your own samples or unprotected SET's (on the internal HD), but two protected SET's is the limit. Right?

That's just not good enough. :roll:
