DEAR PAOLO- for things for easy work.

Post by AVI6520 »

Our wonderful Paolo- :D
First of all- I want to give you BIG thanks for all of your work all the time and for the amazing PA800\PA2X. :P 8) :P 8) :P

As you said in the forum, that-
"….We believe in keeping your keyboards upgraded as often as we can with new important features that will help you to make a better music. This is always our main goal and our first inspiration: music!".
And now KORG are working on a new OS for the PA800\PA2X.

I want to indicate 4 things that can be very useful in work, and surely it is only a suggestion, but it will be very estimated if it will be in a future update.

1=
In PERFORMANCE- More pages for the performance banks.
In SOUNDS banks- more pages for the user sounds.
And because we can use HD or USB stick for our records and midi. I have no problem to lose Mb in the SSD-U, to make the SSD-S bigger then the SSD-U, if needy, for these pages.

2=
Improving the [sequencer>record]> STEP BACKING SQUENCE >

To give POP-UP menu for the "measure" not only "dial option".
To give an option to play the MIDI there, to hear the changes without to "go out",

It is hard to go to the end of measure every time that you want to make changes like in measure 124 for example, a few times….
And for every change you need to go out to hear it, -hard work!
[And you can understand the request, if the changes in the end of the midi and you need to go out and then to come back and to dial again- at least that I can "jump" to the measure that I'm working on, with a POP-UP menu…]].

3=
Improving the [sequencer>menu]> EVENT EDIT
[And the same in the "event edit" in style record, and pad record]

When playing the midi there-To make "emphasis" to the positions there, and make it roll up automatic,
In that way, in time that you hearing it- you can find easier every note that you need to fix.
[And for that, certainly that the window of "playing" that pops up, need to be change, to be transparent, or something else].

4=
ARRANGING STYLES [and the same with performance and user sounds] with MEDIA-
On the PA800 there is limitation, [on the PA2X I do not know if there is too].

You can not load the next 16 styles that you have in a SET to the banks 17-32, in one time!
You need to load them one by one! And that mean- 10 times! For all of the favorites banks!
You can not copy from the SSD-S [from the banks of favorites [even if it is not protected]], if you want to move style from one bank to other bank.
You can not use the "shift" for multitude selection, in time that you load styles.
You can not copy to a bank in a middle of favorite bank when the bank in front of is empty, and only if it is after a full bank.
All of that make it very hard to arrange our styles in the banks.

If you can do something with that in a future update, we will appreciate that very much!

Appreciate all of your work-
AVI.

I would like to add a suggestion too.
It could be very useful if we could change the tempo value without pressing the shift button when we are at a performace or sound or style select screen.
The tempo change buttons and dial don't do anything when we are at these screens.
It will be very useful for us who play live.

I know but I hope they'll do it sometime!
I don't think it's so difficult to make this happen.
It's the most annoying thing for me on pa800.

Dear "akyboy" :P :D :P :D :P
-please- :oops:
We must remember that after we bought the KB, KORG do not must to do every thing that we want, even if it is very important or sensible, there is a warranty for hardware and a good reference for fixing BUG [if there is…].
KORG giving splendid service with out payment of updating for free the software, and it is with out to be must of giving it! It is only because they are good for us, and have a smart way to be care for there customers.
So-
If it is a favor from them, we must remember that they do not owe to us anything with that, and for sure when it with out to pay money.
The hard time is when we are disappointed from things, and I have times that I have written with anger to, and I am sorry about that.
And we must understand that thing take time, and we must to be patient.
I do not thinking that it smart not to write a good things that you see that can be good for all of us, but with it, we must be reasonable that it will not come in one day,
And if you will not write them- the chance that it will not be- is bigger!
And we can see for fact that there were a lot of good things that come to a reality, hardware and software. Things dos not happened in one day.
Be sensible. Not desperate. And your experiencing will make good things to all of us.

Appreciate your honest. 8)

There are some features that an arranger must have.
We should not be asking to be able to change the tempo value imediately because it is a basic feature for an arranger.
Other arrangers have dedicated buttons for this job.
It is anacceptable for such a great instrument like pa800(I don't know if pa2x has the same issue).
That's why some of us are disappointed and keep asking for this.

HI dear "chrisgr"- :P

I agree with you, I do not disagree about that, I have written about the sensible things, [like the one you indicate…],
"If you will not write them- the chance that it will not be- is bigger!"

I was speaking about what akyboy was wrote:
…They will not do it even this time so dont bother asking.

Sorry if my English cause to be mist understand.

i dont have any hopes on this thing, and this topic is maybe not were you put your wish list but.. here it goes anyway!

one thing that have been requested for a long time is the tempo thing,(not tempo lock)!
Everyone who owned a pa80 knows what i mean, when the tempo worked were ever you were, you could accelerate/deceleration from anywere:
in the perfomance meny, style meny in the bathroom yea u name it :shock: :P , and the tempo were allways ajustable.

In the newer modells like pa1x,pa800,pa2xpro.. you have to exit from were ever you are > go back to the main meny > click on the tempo so it marks blue, then scroll for the wished tempo.

HI- fResH_ :P

What about the shift+tempo, have you use it? :idea:
-That exactly the solution for it and you do not have to exit from ever you are.
