Is there any way to save sounds to usb or Direct folder, now we can save style to usb or Direct folder and can play from there. Is there any similar ways to save the sound to USb and play from USB or Direct folder.

Save a customised Style as a Song during the write process the option is to save to Internal or to the Direct folder.

To set up a Direct access folder follow procedure as following:-

On a PC create a folder on your USB drive that you want to use as the Direct folder, I keep mine simple and called my folder Direct.set (including the .set in the name), eject USB correctly (use the eject routine rather than simply pulling it out) and inset it into your PA.

Now press and hold Shift then Press Media button.

Onscreen there should be a Media tab, press it.

On screen there is the legend Direct Folder.

Press Browse then navigate to your new folder you want to use, click on Select etc and you are good to go.

Now if you want to save Songs to this folder you can and once you have saved to it each Song saved there will have a border around it to show that it is saved to the Direct folder (when you are in Songbook mode that is).

Is any os update coming soon for Pa 700/1000.

[Biggles]

There is a webinar on the 14th were a Korg are showing the new special edition of the 700 so it will be interesting to see if there is any difference.

As it is I would expect a 1000/700 OS update similar to the OS Next that was released for the 4X, but what the timescale is likely to be is anyone’s guess.

With the PA4X and its various OS updates these have also unlocked hardware such as extra memory.

One thing that I am hoping happens with the 1000 and 700 is that this also happens with these keyboards in future OS updates

Today I tried to load additional Korg sounds off my memory stick and was greeted with an error message advising that the memory in my 700 was full.

It is a shame that this is the case as I only have about 1/2 of the user banks loaded with additional sounds.

So yes, it would be very useful to have the ability to play sounds directly from external memory but as Sibenhirter explains so well that this is not currently possible.

With the 1000 and 700 if you save Songs to the USB drive and then customise them as desired with keybdsets, pads, intros, vars, fills etc you can then transfer the USB drive to another PA and use it as if it was your PA (more or less) as long as the resources you are using are on the other PA which should be OK from your 1000 to a 4X but may be a bit problematic on a 700, it is a suck it and see situation.

This is one reason why I have suggested in previous that you load the Osimo data for each of the keyboards onto your memory stick, they do not take up much resource and they enable known content to be played on each PA.

The basic problem of DirectSet and user-samples is not solved with extra memory as long as user-samples can only be read from the internal memory.

Osimo is also no solution for OriginalPoster, because Osimo has no user samples as far as I know, but is created with a range of set lists for popular songs so you can instantly select and play.

To save songs on external drives nothing has to do with Direct folder or user-sounds.

Saving to the Direct folder can be very useful if portability of your repertoire is a useful feature.

Simply save to USB and it can be plugged into another PA and used there as long as the resources exist on the other PA

Osimo is transportable and known songs are fully customised and can be very useful as they are or as the basis for other songs they are useful additions and take up minimal internal resource. It does not include samples as these would be useless in the PA as it is.

Saving songs to the Direct folder has everything to do with it, if you do not enable Direct Access you cannot save to it. Once saved there then you have the transportability again. It also frees up using internal memory

Agree about user sounds which I did comment upon.

I think all these sample memory related problems will end if korg comes in with an update that is capable of loading/playing sample or sound from usb media like style.
