From reading the above comments my understanding is in the wording. The PaAs does work with the PA5x & I know several people who are using it.
I think what Korg are saying is that they are currently unable to manufacture NEW PaAs's due to component shortages. But owners that already have the speaker can still use iron the PA5x

Hi,
My PA5X 61 note works perfectly with my PaAS speaker.

A few months ago I addressed the "lack of pros" no longer working at Korg. They all left Korg during the pandemic according to some of the merchant outlets that handled Korg. Since then we get what we get like the PA5 with all of its problems from the git-go. I still have not purchased the 5 yet. Still waiting for a possible break inn the action and the new folks at Korg learn their trade.

Hi
I'm relatively new to Korg (having come over from Yamaha) - and have just upgraded my PaX4 to the PaX5. At the risk of there being a collective sigh around the globe, I was going to add a new Ec5 topic…but it seems my moan about the lack of EC5 has been fully covered (heaven forbid manufacturers actually produce products that customers want!)

My question please, does anyone know the midi codes (if possible) to control the Ensemble and Transpose functions on the Pa5X
Thanks
Rollybrick

Hi Rollybrick and welcome to our forums.

[mstodola]

If you think about how and why the MIDI code was made, you will realize that MIDI code doesn't exist for VAR1 or VAR2. That is probably why Korg made the EC5. Back then they weren't thinking about Arrangers. Yamaha with the Montage and even more so the Montage M had to do their own thing to create code that went way beyond the MIDI code which was only made to standardize some things between manufacturers of music equipment. I don't think back then they could conceive what is now needed to do all the complicated things that workstations and Arrangers do. If you look at the Kurzweil K2000 you probably are looking at the MIDI code max-ed out.

Thanks for the replies. After seeing the Bonners video, I was hoping to use the Behringer FCB1010 as a substitute for the EC5 - seems not to be such a good idea!

I am not waiting.
Have 2 Airturn Bt500s-6, Mount it on a Lexan plate with assignable switch and Expression pedal.
Keyboard set 1-4,
var 1-4,
ending 1-3,
break.
Assignable 1 for harmony on/off,
assignable 2 expression.
…..
The two bt500s-6 pairs in a group to Widibud pro by CME plugged into the top usb port. Wireless control.
Each bt500s-6 has 2 analog ports for expression or effects control pedals…optional…

I have been doing this since the Pa1000 purchase several years ago. Works same on pa5x and can be used on either units…

After a small adjustment, e.g. KORG NANO PAD via USB with its own number of pedals.
the possibility of connecting up to 16 pcs

[karmathanever]

Interesting pedal options but none of this resolves the OP
