Well done and thanks.
Just some more suggestions, if you can add 2 more categories in your wish-list.

1- Sampling.
2- Hardware or Design (ex; adding panel back-light like the GEM WK8, very practical in live performance with a bad stage/location lighting's condition.)

GEM WK8 made in 1999.

Below are some requests from users for consideration by Korg for future OS updates (2.01+).

May I suggest anyone who has any other wishes to add to it as necessary so they all stay together. I'll be happy to help organize them by related groups as it grows.


COMPILED WISH-LIST FOR FUTURE OS UPDATES FOR PA4X 2.01+ (updated 11/06/17):

GENERAL
- Ability to have at least four master effects plus four more insert effects.
- Add built-in Wi-FI which let you get rid of the cable which connect your tablet with keyboard.
- Add confirmation screen when pressing POWER OFF so in case it was pressed by mistake we have a chance to save from unwanted shutdown.
- Add counter on screen: UP/DOWN for when FADE is working.
- Add possibility in Global - Midi - Midi outputs to select a live track (for instance Up3) in combination with a player track (for instance Player 1, track 3) so that you don't have to change this manually each time you change from recording to playing back your recording.
- Add status of 'Split' 'Rhythm Lock' 'Intro/Vari ABCD' 'Pedals' to 'MY SETTINGS' button, even better, add a tab in global to let players choose what settings to store in MY SETTINGS button.
- Audio over USB.
- Auto power off, add selectable time (0-99).
- Digital clock in main screen header (12/24 hour)
- Double tap button to go back a menu level (in Global and other menus with sub-menus) instead of pressing another button 'MENU' (when in Global) etc. which may not be intuitive to many users. (in Global, pressing exit then Global again only goes back to same Sub-menu...)
- Faster power up (it takes a little over 1 minute and 10 seconds now. For comparison, the new Yamaha Genos flagship arranger boots in 20-30 seconds.)
- File management through a Korg app for administrating/moving/combining styles, sounds, STS, samples, etc...
- Increase Polyphony
- Minimum 16 USER FX
- More RAM Memory
- Optional pedal assignment saved to Songbook and/or the option to assign the volume pedal slot to the other features
- Overhaul of the Digital Drawbar section, improved Leslie effects.
- Right hand arpeggiator (like Genos or Motif). Maybe this can be implemented in the Ensemble function? It's already in KAOS, but would be nice if you could store an arpeggiator of your choice to your KBD Sets, to spice things up.
- Software button to Freeze soundsets (STS) so one can move freely to different styles without changing STS. True one can disable the hardware STS Mode button but a 2nd freeze STS on screen will make it easier and more intuitive for some players.
- Some form of DAW integration/ VST integration



GLOBAL
- Add ‘Variation Lock’ to Global>General Controls>Style so loading another style doesn’t also change variation (unless unlocked).
- Add more global parameters to the keyboardsets and/or style parts, so they can or can't be be overridden when you choose a style. To mind comes, pedals including the EC5 pedal, Assignable sliders, But also style related things like fingering type.. Make it so that basically a style and keyboardset come without preferences, so the user needs to set them... When a parameter is set in both, STYLE > KEY SET > GLOBAL It would work well for most global parameters.
- Add option to set Time or Beats for FADE IN/OUT.
- Allow double-tap of Global button to go back a menu level inside Global instead of having to press another button ('MENU') on the other side of the keyboard to get back to main Global menu. (This was also mentioned above in General.)



UTILITY MENU
- Ability to be able to copy Setlist entries from one set list to another.
- Accurate countdown Progress bar while loading/saving files (i.e. *.sets)
- Add more file operations such as ‘select/select-all/move/ controls.
- Add built-in Wi-Fi built so we can load and save .Sets and other styles and sounds, songs, etc. and recorded songs to/from Dropbox and other locations.
- Option to browse files on a USB stick for styles, songs, sounds and open them directly in the pa4x.



STYLES
- Ability to switch to play styles without any delay while fading off the MP3 files that are playing.
- Allow more than 2 chord variations in style fills and intros.
- Allow volumes of STS's to be written to style when 'writing current settings to style' instead of having to change volumes (and then save) for each of the 4 STS individually in the style.
- Assignable aftertouch as an additional source to control style ( ie. Transitions between variations) also as an drop down list option for the fill mode.
- Copy/Paste whole Keyboard Sets between Styles (now you can only save one set of the four to another style at a time...long and tedious to move all 4 sets inside a style to another style).
- Direct Access improvement: Ability to play Styles directly (containing Samples/Waves without loading them into Ram memory) from any media like USB flash drive, SD card.
- In style play mode>volume adjustments, to allow mute a track (or all) with a virtual button (maybe tapping the track name or the green dot on top right of virtual slider? Or a new ‘M’ below it) so we can mute any track and focus on the volume of one track at a time.
- Multi PAD 'Synchro Start'
- Option for a half bar fill
- Quick record button working directly (one push of the Record button) when in Style play mode, with the screen unchanged. Well, maybe a red 'REC' icon flashing that you are recording.
- Real arpeggiator(s)



KEYBOARD SETS (STS)
- Ability to save independent vocal presets within keyboardSet like it was in korg pa3x. Now there is no way to use 2 different vocal presets with that had been programmed for one song.
- When in global interface and keyboard set library auto select is on, option to only auto-select keyboards sets when push *physical buttons* STS on keyboard and not when you browse keyboards sets from screen.
- When switching trough keyboard set banks with USER/DIRECT button (factory, user, direct) to remember last selected set in each 3 groups. Now it always select first bank.
-Ability to highlight a sound in the Keyboard Set and have an edit button that would bring up the sound for edit with all the other related sounds (the other active sounds in the STS) playing so the sound could be mixed with the set of sounds. As it is I have to go to "Sounds" and find the sound, go to menu to find a button that will show me another button that will allow me to modify the sound. Then I have to guess what the mix is going to sound like. (Can do this on 20 year old Kurzweil K2000 and on 18 year old General Music (Italian) SK76 arranger. why not on the Pa4x?



SEQUENCER
- 16-track AUDIO sequencer with event editing similar of the MIDI sequencer, also insertion, copying time from the region, adjusting the time of the region, adjusting the volume of each region.
- Direct access to the SongBook while in Sequencer mode - Quick record.
- Make the active KBD Sets visible in the screen when using the Sequencer - Quick record function.



SOUNDS/VOICES
- Add more user sound banks. 8 in total for user sounds would be super!
- Adding 2 more Master Effects for right hand (Upper 1,2,3), total 3 Master Effects.
- Adding 4 more Master Effects for left hand, Accompaniment Tracks, total 8 Master Effects.
- More DSP’s for the right hand voices and a 3rd master effect
- Sample streaming
- Smooth Sound transitions(!), similar to the Korg Grandstage
- While in sound mode, set TRK SEL button to use as Compare function.



MIC
- Mic EQ preset -- Save EQ settings, multiple options.
- Mic talk overlap -- overlap 0-10 seconds between singing and speech switching



SONGBOOK
- Add a Play All button.
- Add an ‘Automatic Songbook Style List’ listing ALL the styles available in both factory and user slots, with genre, time signature and tempo. This list should automatically update when adding or deleting a style.
- Add option to lock songbook style change so when sometimes we need just keyboards sets from songbook, we can select it in songbook without changing style.
- In search screen to go to main page or selected item after select entry.
- Select multiple songs as on the pa3x.
- Select tab for select songbook entry... also it would be nice to set TRK SEL button to do this job while in songbook screen.



KAOS 2
- Add one that switches style channels off one by one; One from left to right; the other from right to left (basically one switches drums mute...then percussion and so on
- Allow HOLD on finger spot by dwelling in a spot more than x seconds (allow this option ON/OFF in global).
- An option to crossfade between the style and the pads.
- For all those settings like density where the pa4x actually remebers the last setting, it would be great to see the last setting on the screen.
- Remember selection for next time loading Kaos2.
Where the other starts with acomp 5 then 4 and all down to just letting drums sound.)



MIDI
- Sync FADE IN/OUT with Midi protocol on channel midi OUT CONTROL CC# 7 (channel Volume). Now is only analog global internal audio Fade, means is no way to Fade together with other connect instruments.


Please feel free to post your own wishes and I will add them to this list.


I think your wish list is great however, I'm 99% sure that the OS is a 32 bit Linux(ish) implementation. Anything which would required more than 4 gigabytes of memory is not possible with a 32 bit system. It would literally take a complete OS Upgrade to get around this obstacle.

This obstacle will not impede the bulk of the feature requests. I'd really like to see a Plugin Tool which allows us to create more sound interfaces like the DRAWBARS Sound. It's as close to a VST Type plugin as I've seen on any Korg instrument. For those of us who'd like to develop features which can be freely shared in the community. Korg would benefit greatly from this in the same way the original "open source" Linus did. Many minds create more ideas vs. a few, very good minds, working directly for Korg.

Adding Panel Back-Light like the GEM WK8, very practical in live performance with a bad stage/location lighting's condition.

fix Midi Out CHORD channel, now is not working correctly, if you use Chord sequencer, is not working at all !!!, is only passing notes playing on scanning keys.
should send same chord like is on display, same is playing,... chord means chord,..not pressing notes on Lower. Wink
Very useful for people wants to use external voice processors or external arpeggiator.

Maybe you know this already, but just to be sure:
you can use back light for the buttons in PA4X, see Global - Interface.
Of course this is only available for buttons containing an LED.

It's probably been covered before, but how about having the "BREAK" button actually relate to the style variation being used. For example in some styles variation 1 is quite sparse, but the "break" sometimes is a totally unrelated set of rolls and tom hits and then it reverts back to the sparse variation feel.

you talking about having 4 breaks ?!?. Laughing
programming styles is like art, you need to program break to fit any part of your music. Wink

haha, no just the single BREAK button...Korg has obviously programmed this at the factory but unless you are in variation 3/4 or sometimes variation 2, it is just inappropriate. I'm thinking it could be better programmed to actually match the variation, without the need for user intervention.

If one is creting their own style then yep, totally agree with you Smile

In theory Korg Pa arranger is fully open to people who knows and want to customize they music.
...or for people have no clue and let them buy or get free something they like it.
Style programming is only midi, not many option to make universal break. Wink
