Does anyone know which styles and performances from older keyboards can be played on the New Korg PA900?

Does this mean I can take my SongBook from the Pa2X and import it into the Pa900?

I looked at the details of the styles and sounds in the appendix of the user manual and compared it to the Pa2X, and see the point. There are substantial differences in the location of both styles and sounds as well as additions and deletions. It looks like all my songs would require reprogramming, so I might as well start from scratch.

It would be such a benefit to have some form of conversion software to assist the change from keyboard to new keyboard. Having said that, I guess having to allow for all the combinations of possible options would make that a tedious task.

we have a gm set of sounds standard and gm set of stamdard drums ( yes maybe not so good but standard ) if korg would keep a standard set of styles or keep a stardard set in the same place it would make life easyer , this is why my song book point to my favorite , so the next update or keyboard , i just load my favorites and song book and i am up and running , and then i look at the new styles and copy them or the one i use to my favorites, no more matching styles and change thing over ,evertime a new keyboard come out ,korg said just open your song book up and use this chart and match thing up , and it take years to do , this is what i do ,

if you change your song book link to the new styles evertime a new keyboard come out it will take you a few hours , or do it once time and use your favorites and the song book, your favorites is 400 plus styles , who play 400 styles or song at one job , and if so on your next break just load in another set of 400 styles and do the rest of the night ,

Duby2, how do you cope with the STS that you apply to each song in SongBook. Do you have to set that up from scratch?

Hi.

I have a short experience about compatibility between Pa series. But I tried to load a style from Pa600 to Pa3X. In Pa30 a guitar that I used was in a different page than Pa600 and Pa3X recognised what guitar is and loaded it corectly. So as far as I can see Korg in their OSs already managed to relocate the sounds. I'm not sure about the songbooks but I think if they use factory sounds and styles the songbook entries will work fine as long as both keyboards contain the sounds and styles used in songbooks.
I hope I made my point here.
