Hi,

i've been playing for 20 years Roland Arrangers. But as there is nothing more comparable to a PA4x from Roland side, I decided to switch to korg

I'm waiting for my new Pa4x to arrive and meanwhile I started to read the manual.

Could somebody explain me what "Keyboard sets" are please? I used to play around with user programs (keyboard settings) , one touch settings, and tones.

What gets me confused is that in keyboardset you can have different sounds or not ? Does this mean that in a keyboard set you cannot use all the sounds of the Pa4x but just the ones you loaded in a keyboard set ?............strange......

thanks for any help

Best regards

Max

A Keyboard Set is a bit like a registration of sounds (and other settings) that you want available whilst playing.
So a set could comprise 3 UPPER sounds (right-hand) and a LOWER sound and you can select these at anytime whilst playing a style - they do not change your style.

This is a very basic description - hope it helps.

The PA4X is designed around its "SONGBOOK" feature which is outstanding and is used to store full keyboard settings for all your songs - whether STYLE, MIDI, or simply just sounds.
When you get your PA4X make sure you spend some time experimenting with SONGBOOK which also contains a "SET-LIST" component which is better than perfect for creating song sets for a gig or simply for personal use in organising songs you want to play.

(My last Roland arrangers were the E20 and E30 - these were revolutionary in the arranger market at that time - I still have and play some of their styles on my PA4X!!!)

Cheers & congratulations on getting the amazing PA4X

Pete
