any chance of the pa5x saving the style name or number in any mp3 (or midi) recording or allowing us to enter it into the file via the keyboard rather than copy to a computer and edit details off the keyboard? apologies if this or something like it is already available

has anyone else had the same problem as the guy on youtube with the PA5x on OS1.4 freezing and flashing all its lights after he presses the ensemble button? looks like 1.4 might need some TLC.
horby

I will wait a week or two or longer until am sure there are no unseen problems , I have already heard about a few but not yet clear of the cause

thanks I will look at them the korg link just goes to the free sets but you have to put payment details in first

hi , does anyone know how the pa3x, 4x and 5x record direct to mp3 ? As far as I can tell mp3 is defined as a compression algorithm to compress digital audio files like wav or aiff by removing unneeded or extraneous data, that suggests there must be a digital file to compress or is the recording and ...

hi thanks for the info , the first links are all wrong or dead and anyway just the normal korg website the later ones are just more expensive "sounds" that can't be previewed probably £277 of unusable rubbish I have been stung to often on poor quality products that I can't test

hi again I am still working at getting the best audio quality , I have read that the ipad has a native recording resolution of 44k and 32 bit depth or higher , it is only the camera app that uses a low mp3 settings so using your focusrite interface with a good recording app should give high quality ...

hi again I keep digging and the more I dig the more interesting it becomes apparently in compressing to mp3 an instrument or sound that is played at the same time as another louder sound is deleted as the belief is that it can't be heard , clearly that is a false idea as complex sounds have all ...

hello, does anyone know if there is an alternative download source for the PA5x sound collections , they are just re composed sets and I really can't go with the giving over of payment details over some free offering, the internet is insecure enough already with companies trying to grab personal and ...

june 25 and still no way to see hear or test these products before parting with MONEY most of the styles and sounds I have bought in the past were pretty much garbage , and nowhere near the korg factory quality how about a video where each individual sound/set/style is profiled

hi Since realising how huge the audible difference is between wav and mp3 or alac I have done numerous re-recording upscaling downscaling sampling and so on ; If your audio system is low quality with small speakers (or on a phone or mp3 player) there may not be much difference between 192kbps on mp3 ...

thought it was just me , I was playing last week when the analog pad on Lower suddenly went down 2 octaves and the flute on flute strings keyboard set started tweeting with an echo nothing could change it and after pressing other sound choices the keyboard froze and only switching off and restarting ...

hi all , here we are in 2025 and the PA5x doesn't record or play .wav .alac .flac or even .ogg files, and maximum .mp3 bitrate is 256 . I agree with experts on here the difference between ,wav and mp3 is very clear IF you have good audio equipment; if none of your speakers are bigger than 4 or 5 ...

hi keys fla, thanks for the video but it exactly shows my problem it is a simple tune but even it has no depth , no breadth no nuance all the subtleties that I am looking for the audio rate is 250 kbps which is the PA5x limit anyway so only a sixth of the audio data a cd quality recording would have ...

yes , just pressing rec/edit highest resolution( only 256kbps one seventh of the basic resolution) and recording what is recorded is clearly not anywhere near the live original as listened to on speakers or headphones and much thinner than some recordings done on the computer to .wav format it seems ...
