Hello Vangelis,
I have a PA2XPro but I think is the same : you must go in the GLOBAL MENU then open GENERAL CONTROLS and the Last Label in the bottom is Date & Time.

Enjoy.

If it's after interface then mine is blank? I don't have that tab?

Yes,
you are right, the label "Date & Time" on PA2X Pro is after the "Interface" label but I see that into the PA800 User Manual this label does'nt exist!! I do not know why.

Sorry.

This is strange, I guess this is a bug of Korg: also in my gear the "Date & Time" tab is not available after the "Interface" tab in the Global Menu. I have searched it everywhere, but I was unsucessful.

Actually this is missing in the software and in the manual as well.
Due to some reasons, Korg removed the possibility of setting date & time in the Pa800. Conclusion: when you save your files in the storage (HD, USB, SSD), such files have always the date of December 11, 2008.

Does it make any sense?

Well, as far as updates, that's it! from what I see.

The PA800 does not contain a real time clock like your bog standard PC, therefore has no concept of the current time. This is a real shame as any file you create on the PA800 always has the same date/time stamp. Therefore, if you're concerned about sorting files on the time of their creation, you have to somehow include the date time within the file name of any file you create. what a bloody pain that is.

Hi..
i have the same issue with file ordering by date with PA800.
is it possible to adjust the date in PA800 now ?

The answer is no, you can't adjust the date/time on the PA800. The real time clock hardware and software needed for this functionaliy just wasn't included in the PA800, it has no cocept of the current date and time. Even though it contains a file system it has no way to tag the files with a date/time and any date/time you may see in any of the displays is always the same and unchanging - probably the date/time the system was first created. It seems crazy to me that you can design a machine with a file system but no way to store the date/time of file creation, even the cheapest PC can do that.
