I've had quite good results with converting Yamaha styles to Pa5X, mainly as a result of postings from Qui and others. One subject which I have yet to deal with is where Yamaha uses Mega Voices within a style. This has been briefly mentioned in other posts, but I would appreciate some detailed ...

Hi, I just use 2 cheap piano sustain pedals for vari and down on my PA5x. ( plus a good sustai pedal for sustain itself) 3 pedals in total. For turning pages on songbook app on my iPad , I have an old Bluetooth Page Flip cicada pedal, consists of 2 pedals with different options on flipping the pages ...

Hi Keith, the styles system on PA5x is very similar to my sx900. I actually organise my user styles for PA5x as I do for my sx900 I keep all my user styles ( my database) on usb stick. I have folders for all the categories. 01.Pop, 02.Ballad , 03.Ballroom,etc Inside each of the folders I have a ...

Hi, my styles, (just the styles themselves ) I used to just organise in my pc. Just open up the folder till you get to the .kst’s. They can be moved around and organised. I did recently upgrade my Korg PA manager ( hadn’t used it in years) it is a brilliant program. Going to take a while to work out ...

My Youtube channel has tutorials for Yamaha arrangers. I have 7.68K subscribers and a very good attendance. The statistics of my channel show that 67% of visitors are under 54 years old. It seems to me that this is inconsistent with what the dealer is saying. The UK is 4th in number of visits ...

Hi It is based on a conversation with a Sales Rep of one of the largest and most respected Korg dealers in the UK. I was looking at a Genos and asked about how they are selling, he replied that they were going out the door as soon as they arrived and when asked about the demographics of the buyers ...

Given that the market for the product is probably 95% home players for whom it is the greatest keyboard since sliced bread was invented. Hi Biggles, wouldn’t have a clue as to how many of us are home players, (no doubt, quite a number) but have to agree that for us home players , best thing since s ...

Hi, I suppose it depends on why you need your recording as midi file rather than an audio file. In my case I use styles as backing track for piano accompaniment . Since quick record is not available yet, I use the chord sequencer. I record my sequence in chord sequencer, (haven’t tried it yet but n ...

Hi Rich, I’ve had mine for nearly 2 years. In hindsight I wish I’d waited till I could get the 61 note version. Easier to ship if something major did go wrong. I have 88 notes it’s heavy. I live 3 hrs away from a Korg dealership also. Anyway when I first bought it it had the initial operating system. ...

First, I couldn't load the MIDI file into the recording mode-editing style at all. Then I did as you told me. However... When I assign MARKERS in the keyboard and thus save a MIDI file, AGAIN I cannot convert that MIDI file into styles. After assigning a marker in the instrument itself, to the ...

Thank you JagiChan.

Hi Rob, sorry,can’t help with the midi 2.
Hasn’t been a problem for me, my fp10 shows up as Roland, my sx 900 as Yamaha. Leaves only generic , which obviously is the Korg.

Hope you can get it sorted.

Hi, mine just shows up as generic usb midi,seems to work ok with what I use
it for , including my little Yamaha usb device that gives me Bluetooth to connect PA5x songbook to iPad Baum songbook.

Do the Korg drivers add extra functions?

Hi , unfortunately I don’t have a Kronos or a phantom , so can’t check it. Does kronos transpose phantom correctly? Are you sure your midi settings are correct. Quite a while back a guy tried connecting his tyros to his pa5x , transpose was an issue , but it was an early version of pa5x operating sys ...

Thank you for all the hard work. Can’t imagine how long that must have taken you. I have quite a few of them in 1. 2 format and I wasn’t looking forward to doing them again. Greatly appreciated.

I have been using the XG works since my PSR 620 days. It is an amazing program without a steep learning curve. The best is that it works on my latest laptop equipped with Windows 11. I think I’ve had my copy for over 20 years , when I bought my first Yamaha arranger psr9000 pro. I don’t actually rec ...
