I recommend trying out the 'save favorites' proceedure on just a couple of programs/combis first, to make sure you've got it right.

I spent several hours selecting my favorites from most of the program banks and messed up with my saving and lost the lot.

the user manual say :

"2. Touch the Favorite box, underneath the Tempo
parameter, so that the box is filled in with a red
square (this shows that the box is “checked”).
3. Write the Program.
This is an important step. If you don’t write the
Program, the change to the Favorites check‐box won’t
be retained.
For details on how to write Programs, see “Saving your
edits” on page 42"

if I do this and don't work there is a bug !

the user guide do not say to save all , pcg etc etc. !

I'm curious:

Why use favorites at all when you can just use setlists to accumulate all your favorite sounds? Super fast, visual method to move between sounds.

At least that's what I do.

Most likely for when you're browsing programs and combi's in the internal sequencer.

I have found that works sometimes, Dan

Take a factory load. Marked up with Favorites. All fine. Yes you can mix and match banks and place them elsewhere, etc.

However, if I load KSL for example, the samples for that library overwrites (a lot but not all) factory ones.

This means then that the favorites I had for the factory load no longer applies as they sound different, because the samples they used are no longer in the place expected.

So if I want to preserve the KSL load with favourites and to preserve the factory load with a different set of favourites, that means I need two PCGs - and so on for any other sample based libraries; simply because of the sample differences.

My workflow learning has suggested to me that I have to be very methodical about my starting point in a session, with full awareness with what I may or may not load in addition to that starting point, what I have edited in that session (which may or may not include SNGs - which is another dimension again as they are entirely and totally dependent on a particular sound set being loaded) and from all these variables, determine if I need a new PCG/KSC 'Save all'. The workflow also requires that I have to remember the starting point, as if I save all after I've loaded another bank library and overwrite the original PCG, I've lost the starting settings. Hence why I have three backups - OASYS, USB drive and on PC data drive (ie not on OS drive).

I can honestly say I don't know how else Korg could organise it given the relationship complexities (so none of my comments are based on any kind of criticism or complaint) - all I'm saying is each user needs to develop their own workflow and stick to it. And back-up!

But if there's a way you can make this easier for folks like me, I'd love to hear about it!

Edited to say: thanks for contributing Dan; your input really helps maintain the high value of the forum

I want only to return in set list mode not to go in combi or program mode!
This is a bug!

[Redrain]

Yes I Know, it's not usefull, but I can't return to set list mode with the same song selected in sequencer mode (so the mode don't change).

Thanks for the reminder and discussion about favorites. I have been using setlists for my favs and it does not work well for me. It would be better if I could have 16 pages in a setlist that would keep their empty slots when adding new progs/combis. This way i could have a page for pianos, a page for pads, etc.

I think it will be better to see my favs in a list of banks or sound types. I look forward to the new editor or perhaps a Mac version of the PCG Tools.
