Since you guys are a great help here's another question.
I'd like to reset my PA1XPRo to the Factory settings, thus removing all the user-made data from it. I need a 'clean' keyboard with the OS 3.01
How can I do that ?

Re-install the 3.01 OS using "fade-in/out" instead of pressing "Yes" upon question, and re-install resources from Korg home-page.

I understand the first part ( OS 3.01) but what resourses should I download and how do I get them onre-installed ?

If you need it a little more detailled look at post of Pete

@Wings my friend - i think it´s the Intro1 button - not fade in/out - or does it work both?

Here are the instructions - hope this helps:-

SAVE ALL YOUR USER DATA FIRST...

You may already have the diskettes prepared etc but here are the details anyway.
MAKE SURE YOU OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISKETTE #1 AND PRESS "Intro 1" INSTEAD OF THE "OK" ON THE SCREEN (see below) if you wish to clear your PA1XPro before the installation....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the following file to your PC from:-
http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 301_PC.zip

Unzip this file and you will see 5 files like this:-
Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk1.exe
Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk2.exe
Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk3.exe
Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk4.exe
Pa1X_Upgrade_Procedures.pdf (instructions)

I strongly recommend that you read the "Pa1X_Upgrade_Procedures.pdf" upgrade
instructions in conjunction with the steps below...

Prepare 4 blank diskettes
Insert first diskette and double click Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk1.exe
...this will build diskette 1
Remove the diskette when finished and label it "OS3.01 Disk #1"
Insert second diskette and double click Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk2.exe
...this will build diskette 2
Remove the diskette when finished and label it "OS3.01 Disk #2"
Insert third diskette and double click Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk3.exe
...this will build diskette 3
Remove the diskette when finished and label it "OS3.01 Disk #3"
Insert fourth diskette and double click Pa1X_os_v301_Dsk4.exe
...this will build diskette 4
Remove the diskette when finished and label it "OS3.01 Disk #4"

These four diskettes will be used to build your OS 3.01

Make sure the PA1XPro is powered OFF
Insert OS3.01 Disk #1
Power on PA1XPro
Follow the prompts on the screen
(Note: for diskette #1 press the "Intro 1" button
INSTEAD of pressing the "OK" on the screen if you wish to clear your PA1XPro before building the new OS)
The remaining 3 diskettes will be prompted for and all you do is simply insert them when requested.
When finished loading all diskettes, power OFF the PA1XPro.

Remove diskettes and Power ON the PA1XPro
The keyboard should start up but you will see a "no style" and no sounds - this is OK.

Now you must load the OS Resources file into the PA1XPro

Download the resources file to your PC from:-
http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 300_hd.zip

Unzip the file (using folder names) and you will end up with a folder on your PC called "pa1x_300.bkp"
Connect your PA1XPro to your PC (USB) and copy this folder to your PA1XPro hard drive.

Disconnect your PA1XPro from your PC
Go to the PA1XPro Disk > Utility page and select “Full Resource Restore”, then press "Execute".
The hard disk contents will appear..
At this point, select the “pa1x_300.bkp” folder you previously copied to the hard disk.
At the end of the Restore operation, turn the Pa1X off and then on again.

MAKE SURE YOU RE-CALIBRATE THE TOUCH SCREEN (seems to always be necessary when installing OS3.01)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All should be OK.

Cheers & good luck

Pete

The links have changed:

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 301_PC.zip (OS PC)

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 01_MAC.zip (OS MAC)

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 300_hd.zip (Ressource file for HD - PC)

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 300_fd.zip (Ressource file for FD - PC)

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 300_hd.sit (Ressource file for HD - MAC)

http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 300_fd.sit (Ressource file for FD - MAC)

What to do if a PC or MAC has no FD to create the 4 discs?
Download http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/software/ ... 01_MAC.zip (works for PC too) - unzip - then you have 4 disc folders with the content of the discs. Transfer these folders via USB to your keyboard and copy there the files to the empty discs.

The following content should be on the discs:

Disc 1:
FDBOOT.SYS
PA1X_1.BIN

Disc2:
PA1X_2.BIN

Disc3:
PA1X_3.BIN

Disc4:
PA1X_4.BIN

good luck

Probably a bit late for this but:-
If you initialise the keyboard you will have to re-activate the tc-helicon on board harmoniser if you have purchased it so make sure you have the activation number. I bought my PA1X second hand and the friend I bought it from did not keep the activation number . it took a while to convince Korg to give it to me !
