No reverb effect on keyboard set 2 with many styles

Post by hcubiak »

Pa5X Int 76 v1.2.1: Select the style Brazilian Samba or US march and Keyboard Set 2. With this kbd set you will hear no reverb effect, although all parameters are set correctly (Effect on, Wet/Dry 50:50, Master FX: Reverb, MFX Send: 40,...). To activate the reverb, you need to make a small change to the Wet/Dry parameter in the mixer. Keyboard sets 1 and 3 work well in this case. The effect is not initialized correctly. Issue also appears on various bonus styles.

Dear Korg people, are you sure that you do a comprehensive test on your firmware before launch?

A lot of Pa4X factory Styles were converted for Pa5X by KorgPa developers and then tuned to Pa5X features.
That they did not know , is that there is a bug in conversion of Pa4X KBD SET where when an effect has send to scr / MIDI (CC#12 or 13)
this is translated after conversion to invalid C#21 and this crashes any effect when is assigned.
If you alter Wet/Dry it will temporary work but in next recall it won't work again until set scr to a valid CC or none.
Reference of this bug is here http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... c&start=15
They fixed almost all KBD SET to work in Pa5X but some had missed their attention like in above 2 Styles.

Concerning your question about New style , when you create a new Style also KBD SET 1-4 are initialized as piano 1 - 4 with Dry setting
in reverb but with random reverb settings (not initialized) therefore is expected either to copy there your custom or factory KBD SET
at 1 - 4 positions , nor create your own selecting proper effects from EFFECTS menu.
