Pinch and Zoom functionality

Post by JagiChan »

Now that we have a nice capacitive screen on the PA5X, I would like the developers to implement a "pinch and zoom function" for the sampling screen. This would be very helpful to quickly zoom in/out of the waveform and also be able to move the waveform and the cursor with the fingers (just like on our smartphones).

Make it so that when the "chord sequence" changes, it automatically goes to the next measure without pressing the "sequence" button.
Thank you!
And please add the possibility to edit the chord sequence! Thanks!

Hello,

I propose 2 very simple functions that every arranger keyboard/organ has on board:
-After a syncrostart (style), syncrostart is automatically deactivated.
If necessary, create an item in settings to turn this on or off.
-The octave transpose in the mixer section is now numerical with a rotary knob
in semitones up and down, for example +12= 1 oct, +24= 2oct.
Make this simple -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, otherwise it is too difficult with a dial!!!

5x touchscreen calibration

Post by KumzitzYitz »

on the 4x this was easy to do, practically automatic. Not so on the 5x. It's currently hidden in a "service" screen, which very few people know how to access. Anyone know how to access it?

5x synchro start both players simultaneously

Post by KumzitzYitz »

Korg needs to make this easy. All they need to do is program into the next OS update that when you hold down shift while pressing synchro start, then when we play the first chord or note, BOTH players will start playing. Tempo lock would be automatically set to the tempo of player 1

Songbook updates

Post by KauserImtiaz »

Songbook is one of the best features of the Pa series. I would love to see an update to the songbook programming which has not changed since Pa1x. We could benefit from better editing and organisational capabilities. Following are few suggested updates.

1. It would be nice to add a folder/sub folder system to make songbook robust and better organised.

2. Make Set-list menu Editable and Sortable by Name or Creation date of the list, etc. Option to delete any selected list.

3. Direct text editing of individual book entries. Currently you have to use multiple commands open, edit, and save.

Thank you,
Sincerely,

Another wish:

It would be nice to have a dedicated/assignable volume control for the Headphones.

There are many variety and specs for headphones. A dedicated volume control will not only help with audio issues but may also prevent ear damage.

I'd love if the labels on the screen in the 4th page of the matrix would automatically include the sound name the part is using. I'd love to be able to mute "guitar" or "synth", rather than having to remember which of the five acc. patterns is set to that sound, especially since it's not consistent between styles.

I'd also like the ability to do a half-bar fill in 4/4 (so a 2/4 bar) as Roland arrangers allow. It's fairly standard to need this in pop music, and currently there isn't an ideal solution.
