Thanks siebenhirter and Scott

Is it possible, on the pa series to zone layers so that changes of registrations or voices can be played without taking one's hand off the keys?

This might mean Korg will discount the Pa5X in a bid to win over and poach would be Genos2 buyers?

Yes, I've used the Kenton MkII successfully with the EK-50. Also Tom Scaff's Midi channel changer to connect up my Nord 27-Key bass pedals changing from Nord's fixed ch3 to the EK's ch4

Can anyone confirm the boot up time? Rumours say 3min?

This guy has layered his piano sound to his liking:

I've had no problem when playing programs like Miditzer in WIN 10

Don't forget you need a program to play the EK-50 as a controller keyboard. You might like to try Miditzer, which is free and downloads in seconds to get you started ?

Just turn all style volume to ZERO and save. You can't rename a style like calling it EMPTY without software like PA Manager

You'll need software like DAW and an Audio Interface device between the keyboard and the PC for recording. If you want to play instrument programs (VSTs virtual Sound Technology) like Miditzer etc.. you connect your keyboard to the pc via a USB cable and play the virtual sounds in the program ...

i) Try using a different USB stick. Keyboards are very fussy about USB sticks. Roland and Yamaha publish their recommended types

ii) Pay meticulous attention to the root directory and sub directories when loading from the pc. See the User Manual for how these ought to be arranged

Some people say that gently pressing the screen, with you thumbs, can bring dead pixels back to life?

Have you checked the piano voice volume? Press Upper1,2 or 3 nd rotate the dial to increase the volume

This guy can certainly play the i3 :

Try another USB

For your interest Roland publish a list of the compatible makes of USB sticks compatible with their keyboards. It seems some USBs are better than others for uploading data to keyboards
