 |
|
I just purchased a Korg Pa1000, trying learn how to use it. My be experinced users can help me.
I renamed the user banks on the instrument from user01.. to mystyle01..
and so on without any problem, but when I save all the set and open the songBook in SongBook Editor 3.o on the computer, I see user01 , user02.. the generic names for the banks. the instrument still shows the changed name. Anyone experienced this? is this how it suppose to be?
Regards, |

Thank you for the reply, I watched the video but it doesn't answer my question. May be I wasn't clear enough. Let me try again.
the bank on the instrument was renamed from user01 to Dadra01.
and in the songbook, the songs were referenced to Dadra01
when I open the songbook in the songbook editor on PC, I see the same song is refereneced to User01. The new name Dadra01 do not show.
which makes editing confusing. |

SONGBOOK entries "point" (or link) to bank/style physical locations - so in SONGBOOK editor, it has no idea that you have changed the bank names.
Your new bank names are held in GLOBAL data.
Analogy: if songbook was about geographical locations, it would comprise longitude/latitude links to a location and not the location name (e.g. town) so changing the town-name is not known by "songbook"
Hope this helps

I just purchased a Korg Pa1000, trying learn how to use it.

For (From) me there are some cuestions:
If you just purchased then how you get the point to rename the banks?
Renaming Your Dadra xx is pointless. Please keep the filesystem as the Korg do. You can rename the folders as You like but Korg as instrument itself uses own known format for all things.

Midimusa, thank you for your input. I had a Technic keyboard previously learning to use Korg is not a big deal, I read the manual, first to learn how the instrumnet is designed, and with the functionality it provides I try to tailor it fulfill my needs.
There is a reason why Korg let you rename the user Banks, to find styles faster. I don't sing only perform, when I get a request to play a style for a song, I have to find it quickly. User01.. User02 doesn't help me, I am the only user of the instrument. but if I rename them using different category names, I can quickly find that style.
Now the problem is that when I want edit the SB using SongBook Editor software, it shows the default bank names, I have to keep a cross table to be able copy and past to add new songs etc..
karmathanever mention that the new names are stored in Global data.
do anyone of you know if i can print the global data? |

Totally off topic.
Have you:-
1 Created a Backup
2 Created a Save All file
3 Created and are using the Direct feature
If the answer to 1 and or 2 is No then you are best advised to create these files before you make any further changes.

Yes sir, I have done all three. I don't have use the songBook editor I can still do the changes on the instrument. I thought I did something wrong, but as
karmathanever wrote, this is how it is. SB editor can't read the new bank names and they are stored in global data.
What part of this off topic?? |
