Hi Detlef,
You´ve to load our OS for working with the crypt stick.
I am interested in your new USB module for my Pa2x. But I'm very nervous when you say "you have to load our OS".

How do you make sure your OS incorporates all the Korg facilities and bug fixes? How do you keep it up to date with new releases and new functionality that will be launched by Korg in the future? What happens to the Korg factory sounds and styles? Do they continue to work as normal? Does your Os contain all the bug fixes in Korg's OS1.1? Do you supply a new User manual to go with the new OS?

I can see many problems if I replace the Korg OS with a different one, and I will need a lot of reassurance about support and maintenance of the replacement OS before I do this.

sorry, I continue to not understand !
I don't need the list of sounds, the list of names or list or 380 drum set !
I know it and I like it
I cannot understan where do you put it.
the pa2x has 128 ram, 256 is optional, end as you describe I need it
now you talk about internal ram, then:
1. how much ram do you need your stick (about) ?
2. where do you put the 380 drum set ?
3. where do you put all many sounds that you describe ?
As I know the golden enter as many sounds, and if you count golden + organ + piano + some new, I don't understand where you put it
4. maybe this sound are replace the internal factory ?
5. I can understand if you overvrite some internal gm gssound for play midifile better of course. but where putt all yours sounds ?
6. in pa1x I can have golden + piano and left user sounds and user drumkit and ram free for my sounds. is the same with usb stick ?
7. if the usb stick loaded need only ram and it's sounds use new slot software left user drum kit and user sounds free , but make full access of your 380 drumkit it has a positive sense, else if your backup is like simple backup but it need much memory and full all the user slot it has no sense for me.
8. and about the styles is the same ? your backup full the favorite or user style, or full the internal bank 1-17?
9. I can understand the exb golden piano ecc. because like me I can use only the sounds, without load backup. because I need free slot for me.
10. and about the os ? what do your os different ?
11. why you need to modificate the os? for what ?
please try to understand me, I will spend much money I need to know exately what I will see on my pa2x



at moment we understand only to have all 3 expansion in one, but maybe need to buy 256 ram too!!

So it´s from the handling and the functions and all 100% the same like the original one. In the past we had our modificated OS too and never had a problem. And if a new OS from Korg came out we are able to react very very fast.

Hi Detlef,

Under Microsoft Windows I am relatively happy to load 3rd party device drivers, because there is a defined interface and support and certification and testing for this from Microsoft. I think I will hold off loading any other third party software onto my Pa2x - unless there is a defined "device driver" interface for "plug ins" supported by Korg. Also for me there must be a certification and endoresement by Korg before I will do this. I won't exchange the Korg OS for another one from third party sources, sorry.

Hi Pauli,

No intention on my part. I'm genuinely interested to buy the new USB Stick version of XPRO-data's sounds and samples for my Pa2x. But not if I have to replace Korg's operating system with another one that is not supported by Korg. My Pa2x is still under warranty. In whom shall I put my trust? If Korg are confident about supporting XPRO-Data's modifications to Korg's OS then the modifications should be incorporated in the mainline Korg product and supported by Korg in the normal way.

Hello,
i think there is a missunderstanding, it is not a OS Modification, just a Sound Modification. This was a communication fault of Detlef.
Thanks!

Hello Mr Dee,

When and if Korg release a new OS for the Pa2x it will probably come with a new MR, in which case the old XPROData MR will be incompatible so customers will be unable to load the new Korg OS.

How will XPROData make sure that the XPROData MR is compatible with the new OS, and how long after the new OS is released will it take before XPROData issue their customers with a compatible MR release? Will you give a guaranteed timescale?

Will there be a charge each time XPROData produce a new MR release?

For how long will XPROData support customers in this way?

Are you willing to place the XPROData MR design and source file information in trust with an independent bank or solicitor so that in the event of XPROData breaking a guaranteed timescale for release of a new MR, then customers can gain access to the source information, and organise ongoing support ourselves?
