Hello, I want better piano sound for this keyboard Pa600, I received a few days ago. I was wondering if the Piano Evolution pack available from Irish Acts Studios is compatible with this keyboard. The reference manual page 133 or pdf page 137. It states:

-Pa600 is fitted with a 96MB PCM Sample memory, that allows you to load Sounds and Drum Kits based on User PCM Samples
in the Pa-Series format. Compressed PCM Samples cannot be
loaded.-

iris acts studios piano evolution link.

thanks for all the help.

I own that website, so it was probably yourself that I answered an email from this morning.

There's no reason why it shouldn't work. The Pa600 is supposed to be able to read other Pa-Series files. I just haven't personally sat down at a Pa600 and tested it myself. That said, if you want to try it, I would be happy to issue a full refund if there are any issues.

Regards
Sharp.

Hi, Yes it does load and work flawlessly on the Pa600 Very Happy

These are great piano voices by the way. At $20usd it's a bargain.

edit:
I forgot to mention, the piano sample sound that are on the irishacts.com website is either not accurate or my computer is not good enough. I have a HT Omega Claro+ sound card. Its sounds much better on the keyboard.

Thanks for the information Sharp.

I have also loaded Pa3x sounds onto the Pa600 and it also works.

Hello Sharp, I was looking at one of the old posts

http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=41672&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

"1. This is the full Steinway sample set for the Pa2x and it requires 71 Mbytes of sample RAM all by itself. It takes about 2 minutes to load on the Pa2x."

by any chance the Steinway piano sample for the Pa2x is still available for download?

Hello.
Not that specific one, but a different one is coming VERY soon.

I've been delayed because my workload is extremely high right now, and on top of that I even replaced my website and shopping cart with the new system you see right now.

Lots to do, so little time.

Regards
Sharp.

I'm quite interested in a piano sample that is at least 64Mb in size and is compatible with the Pa600. Looking forward to it.

I was wondering if the Korg Pa600 or ther Pa series could read KSC files that were created on the Triton or M3?

Yes and no.

No KORG Arranger will read a KSC file, but a KSC file is only a Text File which tells a Workstation what KMP files to load and in what order.

A KMP file is the Multisample data, and a KSF file is the sample.

So if you simply forget about the KSC file and manually load the KMP files yourself into your Pa600, then it will actually work. The KMP file will load, and it will tell your Pa-Series what KSF files to load.

So yes, it works that way and you can load OASYS, KRONOS, M3 and Trition Series data into your Pa-Series.

Sharp.

PS..... Seems there was a odd random problem with my shopping cart that it sent out a bank email which bounced back, instead of a email containing the links to Piano Evolution download. The issue has been resolved, and I have contacted those who might be effected by this. Sorry if this has caused anyone any problems.

If you have tried to download some of the free files, and you didn't get them, please download them again now and it will work.

Hi Sharp

I remember doing a similar thing years ago with Awave software and a TR61 without sampler card. However, I can't get the PA600 to see the KMP in any mode, apart from if I want to delete it, then it shows up with a green icon in the display!

Any ideas?

Here is a set of 8 Pianos created from the Pa3x and as far as I know should work fine on the Pa600 - see the following thread for the download link.
