I did the install as well and with no problems whatsoever.
But, besides a new date in the OS startup screen, nothing new.

Considering our sticky OS wishlist thread of over 10 pages, that is truely disappointing.
The chance to show that Korg deals seriously with the wishes of customers has suffered damage IMO.
Let's hope they come up with something better in the upcoming months.

Korg doesn't have the resources of Yamaha or Roland. Music Equipment hardware is not a high revenue business anyway. People are in it for the love of music not high earnings. You can't expect them to do very much at this point in time with little capital. They have a product that works very well but will never be perfect. I'm sure they are not selling that many at this point in time, so I don't expect them to do much more for this product line. Korg is a company and they are going to do the most for what sells the most. The hardware is running at about maximum. So you can't have more memory when there physically is not more memory or a slot to add more memory. And you can't make an interface that is faster that is inherently what it is. And that goes for the processor and number of switches, etc.

I think we have what we have, take it or leave it. Either you like it or you don't. For me, I'll take the position of a realist.

what you say , does not sound good,,yamaha and roland will at last korg,,if so , then the korg people should get a job at yamaha or roland,,,how do you know if korg has little capital, how many paXXX keyboard were sold,
it sound like the yamaha or roland arranger keyboard might be better, they have more money for newer chips.

the korg pa5x will be out in a year or so ,, so the pa4x and the pa1000, pa700 , are done with update ,, unless ,there a big brake dowm is in the OS... I do not think so .. but ,,, now the wish list will be in the new pa5x , the wish list will get one or two new thing in the pa5x ,,,how mush more can korg give up ,, it is the same with Yamaha Genos..look at what yamaha did , a new case and big screen ,, and some more samples.. were can they go ,,, new hardware , but the same old OS...more VST, yes great, more memory ,, yes ,, it just the korg i3 with lipstick on

again just IMOP...

Is this new update really worth to install?
All this time and just only two new functions (from upgrade manual)
Like Pete

still Happy to receive any updates from Korg ,,but is this the end.

Sad

imho, about the only thing needed is the ability to stream VSTs from the hard drive (or indeed simply allow us to USE vst's). That'd just about do me!

My history of arranger keyboards

1996 Roland e-70
2000 Roland Va-7
2004 Korg Pa1X
2006 Korg Pa800
2015 Korg Pa4x

I used Pa800 for 9 years. Pa4x is great keyboard with many bugs. So I wonder if I will use Pa4x for many years as pa800 or this year or next year I will be interested for Yamaha or Any Roland arrangers.

Thiss update would be 2.02 not 2.1.
I hope KORG will work about many new features and minimizing bugs and will make us happy with any 2.5 or 3.0 update.

KORG, please don't let us thinking about other brands.

IMO it was the last update for Korg pa4x. What is more we were waiting so long and got OS with features that had been added into other models.

I suppose Korg focuses on the successor now. I hope ne model will bring few new functionalities like programable aftertouch, more expanded fill mode with sequence programing possibilities, possibility to program more than one Voice preset per songbook entry etc)
