That is exactly what I had addressed. Other settings like Deesser, EQ are being saved correctly (but not the custom preset to be recalled when the instrument is ON)

Importing of SMF with markers to create a new style does not work. I tried MIDI 0 and MIDI 1 format files for import and it invariably fails with error. The same file imports perfectly in PA1000 and PA4X.

To reproduce the error follow these steps.
1. Create a new style (REC -> Create New Style)
2. Press MENU button.
3. Click on the Import/Export tile.
4. Click on the Import SMF tab (by default it will be selected)
5. Select the MIDI file (with the markers) to be imported.

Result immediately it returns with "Load Error..."

This bug was present in 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 too; and it has not been solved in 1.4.0 🫩

When I press Exit during the load process of a midi file with the Creator Bot, the Korg goes black and reboot.

Half bar fill problem.
If you have 4/4 meter style and made fill 4 in 2/4 meter for half bar fill, when any variation playing and you press that fill (2/4 fill) timed on third bar (measure) on screen, it not play that fill, only reset variation to start on first measure. This was worked fine on Pa4x.

Problem report - PA5x OS1.4.1

Post by AntonySharmman »

Flaws in existing Pa5X features after OS v.1.4.1

- There is a bug that still insists since OS v.1.2.0 , In Style Edit , after some tracks recording and editing if you go back
to Element Track Controls , elements Intro/Var/Fill/End tabs do not respond , stay stacked at latest one that you're working with.
You have to save Style , exit and re-enter Style Edit due to continue editing with elements in Element Track Controls menu.

- Important Chord Recognition flaw , 11th (major) chord is not recognized at all in major scale as in all arrangers ,
C11/CM11 & C (add 11) are totally out of picture and this is unacceptable for advanced Musicians !
Minor scale Cm11 and relative are working fine though.

- In REC/EDIT / Style Edit , when you delete All (and Any event ) , empty measures still exist so element is active and empty.
The only way to completely delete an existing Fill/Intro/Ending is to select any active track in all CV and press Delete
current Chord Variation !
A button should exist to delete the whole element in Style Edit interface !

- In REC/EDIT Pad Edit , direct access to Pad Banks is still missing , "Select Pad to Edit" screen tab should be active pointing
to PAD Banks in order to select of what PAD to edit regardless of Style's Pads !

- In REC/EDIT/Sample Edit/multisample , when entering in Edit Sample , there is no "back" button to return in multisample.

- New recording Studio needs a basic improvement due to meet the features of simple missing Quick Recording , Styles and
KBD Sets must have the ability to change in Real time when recording or edit ...

Antony -

I'm on V1.4 of the operating system and have held off updating to 1.4.1 figuring that what appeared to be minor improvements weren't worth the hassle of having to re-upload all user sounds and settings along with the likely possibility that another minor point update will be forthcoming from Korg in the near future. And your comments about remaining bugs and deficiencies certainly don't compel me to update at the moment. But I'd value your advice on this: is it worth the hassle to update to 1.4.1 anyhow? For the record, I'm nowhere near as experienced and advanced as you are with the PA5X. I'm still in the early learning stages of using the arranger.

Although we do not make dialogs here , I have posted remaining flaws not the addressed issues that
are very important for all users like multi measures conflict in style elements from it's birth , smooth
transition of styles in players and sudden cut of sustained instruments when changing elements.

Always update to any newer OS , you have nothing to loose only to gain addressed issues that you're not aware !
I have never downgraded OS for over 20 years I develop PaSeries.
