Maybe this is just a rant, given the low participation of users on this part of the forum, but I feel like saying it. I guess this is only for Pa1000 users.

I use my Pa1000 quite a bit in darkish settings at home. For the lighted buttons they are partially lit to know what to look at when it's dark, and when they're pressed they light up brightly.

It's crazy to me which ones the factory didn't choose.

-I use the + and - buttons for tempo A LOT. Such an obvious choice to be lit.

- The Exit button! Come'on!

- The 4 Keyboard Set buttons!!!

- The Songbook button- perhaps it'd need to be one of the always brightly-lit buttons. It's one I use all the time, and it's easy to hit one of the adjacent buttons

- The + and - Octave buttons.

That's it. Rant over!
Randy

Two solutions and I use both.
-A piece of white electrical tape along the edge of the buttons you want to find easily. It stands out in low light.
- Plug in one of those flexible USB lights into your USB socket. Just make sure it is a low power consumption one - you dont want to be drawing too much power. Probably not recommended by Korg but I've never had a problem.
