Hi all,

I understand what a passionate subject this is to PA4X owners, therefore I would be fascinated to know how Korg plan to deal with the situation, if at all !!

It's obvious the O/S has major flaws, particularly for the more advanced users. As a basic user, (e.g. some sounds, keyboard sets, songbook titles and playing a few basic tunes) I have never had the keyboard freeze on me or let me down in the nine months I have owned it. It's been an absolute joy since I got it and a breath of fresh air from the Tyros 5 I previously owned. Obviously there are many other PA4X owners that are in a similar position to me.

Despite that, the ongoing problems with the O/S are not what you expect from a company like Korg. Particularly in the way that they have dealt with the situation so far. 'Ignore the problem and it might go away' seems to be how they are currently dealing with it.

Korg know's that Yamaha will soon be launching the 'Genos' arranger (Tyros 5 replacement) which from a sales point of view could be a PA4X killer. Therefore Korg would hopefully come up with something as 'damage limitation' for when the 'Genos' is launched. Now it's far too early to replace the PA4X, whereas they could release new (free) software to breath some life into the keyboard.
When I listen to some of the superb registration software for the PA4X you can purchase by John Beesley and Pete Shaw here in the U.K. there is no reason Korg cannot do something similar. I believe Musikant have a new O/S in the pipeline with new styles, sounds, etc. Would that be too much to ask of Korg. Could they also sort out the current bugs in the software for our more technically advanced PA4X users.

Therefore, I am hoping that Korg will produce something on the software front but I doubt we'll actually see it until Yamaha launch their 'Genos' or whatever it will be called.

My youngest brother graduated in Mathematics here in the U.K. worked for a while as a systems analyst and around fifteen years ago worked freelance as a software engineer for Nat West Bank in the City of London. For this position he was paid a small fortune (in excess of £100 per hour).
He would be involved in all aspects of software. Software developers are essentially mathematicians.

I remember being at his home one evening and posing the simple question to him. What is it that makes software buggy, crash, etc.
His answer was the better the writing or coding of the software the better it performs. If the people writing the software are not experienced developers, coders, the higher the chance of the software crashing.
Make your own mind up about that one.

All things considered and like most things in this world this is probably down to money......we know korg are a small company compared to other big names and we also know korg are very good at punching well above its weight with most things it achieves and that is something we can see in many ways when considering the Pa4x excluding some of the negitve anomalys we have come to know with this keyboard.... so to me these problems need money to be released in its favour inside the world of korg which would allow the resource to fix and develop the PA4X as it should be and I feel this is probably some where closer to the truth otherwise we would not be reading and having these discussions on this forum and beyond.

With all due respect and I do respect every on here especially your good self karmathanever ... I'm not sure "niggly little problems" is quite how those suffering freezing /lockups/boot up problems etc would see this ......
