How can I use my KORG PA2X Pro as a midi keyboard?
and in which mode "Style play or Sound mode"?

I'm not as nearly as one specialist but here's what I know

:

1. Install the USB midi drivers for pa2x
2. Hook up the USB cable to the PC
3. In the software that you are using, tell it to use your keyboard as midi input

There are people here that really know their thing

I'm sure they'll help you.

Hi Fadi

What are you wanting to do with it?
Connect to PC?
Use as MIDI keyboard to play other keyboards/modules?

In SOUND mode you will be playing on a single MIDI channel
In STYLE MODE, when playing a STYLE, you will playing on several MIDI channels (different channels for each of the STYLE parts - ACCs, drums, perch, UPPER 1/2/3 etc..)

MIDI channels are selectable on the PA2XPro so you have completel flexibility in matching your MIDI channels to the external device/PC etc…

As ProudM3 says, if you are connecting to a PC/Mac then you will need to install the MIDI drivers on the PC/Mac first - these can be freely downloaded from:-

After you select Midi-Out of Pa2x with Midi-In of your iRig, you have a connection for Pa2x to be used as Midi-Keyboard.

Pa2x sends Midi-commands via Midi-Out in Style-Mode and also in Songplay-Mode. To be sent Midi-Out is to configure what tracks of Pa2x should be assigned to Midi-Channels.

iPad needs an application to receive Midi-commands via iRig. Whatever iPad-Midi-application one uses, there also will be settings how to assign and how to use Midi-In-channels.

Now if the application of your iPad receive Midi-Commands, then that commands are used from the application for which it is made as you adviced to be used.

Configuration with that two Midi-Devices is: Pa2x = Midi-Sender, iPad = Midi-Receiver
