Re: Where is Version 1.4 ?

I agree that I'd rather just see Korg take the time to get the 1.4 update right rather than push something out that will require yet another update to correct newly introduced bugs or omissions. But to me the far bigger source of frustration is Korg's mystifying refusal to communicate with its user ...

Re: A 'Newbie' Question on loading new sounds to the PA5X

Got it now, Antony. Thank you for the clear explanation and insights, including the fact that any new third party styles that might be included in the collection would also rely upon the new third party sounds being located where the third party developer intended. I can see where adding a second ...

Re: A 'Newbie' Question on loading new sounds to the PA5X

I agree, Barry, which is the reason for my hesitancy in acquiring any additional third party PA5X sounds/keyboard sets that utilize new samples. FWIW, I just e-mailed Paul Carman at Keyboard World directly (producer of the to-be-released sound collection as well as creator of the Keyboard Academy ...

Re: A 'Newbie' Question on loading new sounds to the PA5X

Thanks, Antony, for your prompt reply. I just want to make sure that I understand your comments correctly. I believe you are saying that it IS possible to load a sound bank without overwriting an existing sound bank in user memory. But to do that, you must load the sound files INDIVIDUALLY. And that ...

A 'Newbie' Question on loading new sounds to the PA5X

I'm a licensed user of the Global Sounds Artist edition. Timor's standard installation resulted in those keyboard sets being installed in newly created user banks numbered 1-9. I'm strongly considering acquiring and installing the new PA5X sounds that Keyboard World will be releasing on March 7th of ...

Re: Can the PA5X load styles direct from USB?

Thanks so much. This really does help and it's gratifying to know that the PA5X behaves essentially the same as any computer, as you stated.

Re: Can the PA5X load styles direct from USB?

Antony / Qui - Is this ability to access data directly from a USB drive (without having to first load it into a USER slot) limited strictly to playing/auditioning styles? Or does it also work for directly accessing a custom keyboard set if that keyboard set uses strictly factory sound resources? I ...

I know this probably seems like small consolation to anyone upset about the current state of affairs re the PA5X's OS. But when I acquired my PA5X this spring, I was strongly debating between it and a Yamaha Montage M. I was seeking a keyboard with workstation functionality that could also serve as ...

Possible to select a user-defined Keyboard Set remotely?

Two related questions here re selecting keyboard sets on the PA5X. First, is it possible to remotely select a factory keyboard set via MIDI? And if so, is it possible to do this for user-defined keyboard sets as well? My understanding is that it IS possible to remotely select any of the PA5X's ...

Reuben -

I was just surfing the PA5X forum to review some of the latest threads and came across this one. I wanted to really thank you for making these MIDI files and Soundfonts available. A great resource!

Great job I love the Kaoss (on my PA4x) and glad Korg have included it on the PA5x now. It is a lot of fun and can really spice up the music.... P :D Hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm prompted to leave this question based upon your user name: does Kaoss effectively provide similar ...

Thanks very much, Chelsea4023. You have no need to justify your position on this! My reason for asking about the Easy Record function was strictly to better understand what feature PA5X customers are still missing. And I am one hundred percent in agreement with you re Korg management's behavior. I ...

Excuse my ignorance here, but having no experience with the PA4X or any other Korg arranger keyboard, what exactly does this much-requested Quick Record feature do, in contrast to the sequencer that's already available in the PA5X? Is it to be able to quickly create and assign one's own style ...
