I am trying to utilize the Microphone Input.

My setup is a Shure SM7B with Cloudlifter (requires Phantom Power).

So far I have not been able to save this setting. I even tried saving the setup through My Setting. Every time I restart the keyboard I must re-select Phantom Power. Has anyone found a way to save this setting? I haven't found anything in the book to explain why this isn't working, and I can't imagine it was intended to require an adjustment to my setup each time I run it on.

-- UPDATE --

This setting is addressed by KORG in the performance manuals.
Page 567 on the new manual. I must have missed it, on my first read through.

-- excerpt --

When disconnecting a microphone from the XLR jack, the phantom power is automatically turned off. Phantom power is also automatically turned off each time you turn the Pa5X off.

Before I add this to the Bug List, can anyone think of a good reason the Mic Settings should not be retained with subsequent start ups?

Bug: Phantom Power selected for Mic Input - Is no longer selected after restart, with no option to Save Settings.

I don't think is a bug, is same like in Pa4x.
I believe this is how been designed.

Thank you both for the feedback.

I thought that may have been a possibility - so I hadn't posted as a bug as of yet. For my use, I'm simply in a home studio where my environment and connections do not change, so I'd like to be able to save the settings.

I can however live with it as it is. This may make me re-think my mic setup however.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a good microphone with a small cardio pattern to avoid feedback in a small space, close to (in front of) 2 two monitor speakers?

The simplest way to reduce feedback is to increase the distance between the microphone and speakers. A microphone "feedback eliminator" can reduce the feedback problem with microphones. There are various ways that they do this, such as introducing a tunable notch filter, or by frequency shifting the microphone signal. Feedback eliminators will all affect the sound to some extent. An alternative might be a multi output headphone amplfier, such as an ART HeadAmp4, where family members/friends can individually set their own headphone volume to comfortable levels.
