What are the major diffrences in the Pa50 OS1 OS2 OS3?
I'm a new Pa50 owner and just wanted to know if there are any diffrences in styles and sounds between the different verisons of the Pa50? I guess you call em OS1/OS2/OS3. If not what are the major difference than?
PA50 OS differences
Hi Kangal,
I bought a PA50 a few months ago and it had V1.04 dated 2004. One thing i did notice was how long it took to load the OS (>30 secs). So i updated it to V1.05 dated October 2005 and the first thing i noticed was how quick it loaded the OS, less than 10 secs. So theres one major difference. It also cured problems of keys not sounding esp. in the right hand. I probably think that problems like that are due to polyphony i.e. how many notes the keyboard can play at any one time. This can depend on how 'full' sounding styles are. I've had this problem when i used styles converted from Yamaha, Roland and Ketron. I'm not sure about V1.03 sorry.Usually a pain in the a** cos its the first version of the OS (':lol:'). A word of caution though, Kangal, MAKE sure you save anything you have in USER memories, styles, programs etc to floppy before you decide to update the PA50's OS. I didn't and lost countless hours of programming
Oh and by the way you should format the floppy in the PA50 itself not a PC before you download the OS from Korgpa.com. The ZIP file tells you how its done.
It tells you to load the musical resources too after updating the OS. I didn't bother and works just as good.
Be patient it takes time.
If you need any more help just ask
