Hi!

Is there a way to save a specific Keyboard Set into a user memory?

Objective is to place it in a given Style when needed and eventually have a Song in the Song Book with desired Style and Keyboard Set.

Please excuse me for a basic question.

regards,
GD

Yes you can save a keyboard set to user memory, once you have created the keyboard set you like, touch the arrow and select write keyboard set to user library. Name and select which bank you would like to store you set.

Thanks a lot.
Can't believe it was so simple.
Korg for beginners is a bit complex specially when someone has migrated from Yamaha.

Cheers!

Great. and now that you have your keyboard set saved, how can you change or edit it?
where can you see all your keyboard set bank/library?

thanks,
Ron

You can make changes to a keyboard set and re save or rename and save in the user banks. I have different versions of the same keyboard sets that I've changed or tweaked slightly.

A great place to start learning about your PA is with Korgs Video Manual tutorials

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GE87BZTf-pE

Once you can follow and replicate all the actions you see then it is time to move on to the past Korg Webinars which are streamed live but then placed online for catch up as needed. Access via KorgUK’s website specifuc to PA Owners which is Korg World, register and follow the links to the Crowdcast website which hosts the webinars

How can I change the names of the 4 keyboard sets of an user Style ?
After Editing the Keyboard instruments, I tried to go to the Menu, then select Write Keyboard Set to Style, then change the Name of that new set, and the location of the Keyboard set, then Select Write.
But I got a Write message error. What's wrong with this ?

Thanks

You would be best saving the Style for your song to the Songbook, then changing the Keyboard sets and upper 2/3/Low to what you want, adding Fx, etc saving the Song after each change.

Then to play your Song select it in Songbook and it will load with all your settings ready to play.

Songbook and Setlists is the key to using any PA

Hi everybody,
Thank you all for your post, but it does not solve my problem.

- First at all, the Style that I want to change is an User Style, not a Factory Style. I'm supposed to be able to change the Keyboard Sets of that Style. But every time I modified the Keyboard Set, then I tried to write that new Set to the style, I got a Write Error Message !

- Even if I just wanted to change the name of that Keyboard Set (for example KB Set 2), I got the same Write error Message.

- The only thing I was able to do (as indicated by Biggles) was to make the modifications on a given Keyboard Set (# ...), then save it as a Song. But since I can't modify the Name of that KB Set, it leads to confusion (for example I changed the sounds to piano, but the name of that KB Set is still Strings !). I tried hard but did not find a way to do this !

Anybody can help ?

Thanks

Very strange.

Can you try the following

Ensure that in the Global menu you uncheck the Style protection boxes in the Lock section

Then try this with the Style that you want to modify that is in the User Style locations selected:-

Tap Keyboard on screen, select what you want as the instrument voice.

(1) Then from drop down select Write Kbd Set to Style, making sure the instrument name is correct (if not correct it by tapping on the T and naming it what you want) and making sure it is going to be saved in position 01.

(2) If you also want to change the instrument voices in Up1, Up2 and Low, tap on each in turn, select the instrument voice you want then select Write Current Style Settings.

Repeat (1) & (2) for the three other positions, making sure that they are saved in positions 02, 03 & 04 respectively, then when this is completed from drop down menu select Write Current Style Settings.

In Style mode select a different Style, play something then go back and select the Style you just edited and all should be OK.

Now go back into the Lock screen and check the protection boxes.

Thank you Biggles, I tried to follow your suggestion, but can't do what I want to do.
Followings are steps I've done, please try to do this yourself and tell me what do you get, thanks :

1- I went to Global then Select General Controls - Lock - Style - then I unchecked everything in that Style Page.

2- I went to the Kbd Set page then Select a set (for example Set 2). Then I modified the Voice (Instrument and Volume) then Select ''Write Kbd set to Style'' - then in that page I can change the name of the new Kbd Set, and Select on which Set I want to write to (Set 1, 2, 3 or 4). Then I answer Yes to the question ''Are you sure''. Then I get the Message : ''Write command failed''

3- If I Select ''Write Current Style Settings'' as you proposed then I got no Write error Message, and the changes were made to the style. But the Name of the Kbd Set was'nt change, and I find no other way to do this.

My goal is to modify a Kbd Set including its name and its position, and to put that on an User Style.

Please Test yourself and tell me what was wrong in my doing.

Thanks.

Add this action to the unlocking previously undertaken.

Global > Mode Preferences > Media

Unprotect Factory

Now you can write or rather you should be able to, write to the Factory Styles

Do note that I would not recommend modifying the Factory Styles

OR

Unprotect Media as above

If you Copy and Paste the Style you where you want to change the Keybdsets to a User or Direct location where you can easily customise its content.

Please confirm that you are actually Copying and Pasting your chosen Style to a User or Direct location?
