Problem with Tablet sychronization with PA600 os ver 1.2

Post by maintech »

Followup:
I have not had success linking my PA600 (nor with a second keyboard) using Mobilesheets pro and the Samsung 12.2 Galaxy. The keyboard dislpays a Tablet setting on the Global Midi page as 'preset 08' but after saving (writing) the setting, nothing happens. I'm waiting for Mike from Mobilesheets to see what he finds, but I'm thinking its a Korg issue. The set-up manual shows a USB-B adapter to patch the tablet to the PA600, but when I insert the USB-B nothing happens, and if I select the USB tab and the 'Enable' button all keyboard functions are disabled.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I'll keep you posted when I get success.

Korg response

Post by maintech »

I have emailed Korg re this issue but have not had a reply, is this typical or am I being too anxious? Have other Korg owners had issues that the local store service techs are stumped with?

I purchased this keyboard from Long & McQuade, Toronto, back in October 2014, but the USB-A connection was physically missing from the back, so it was sent away for repair. Because I was leaving for the winter (snowbird) they loaned me a new keyboard until I returned, and we switched the keyboards back last week when I returned. I cannot fault Long & McQudade, their customers service is flawless, however they have not been able to assist on the tablet issue, apparently I'm the first Korg owner they have to try this. I'm going to try the local store next week to see if their staff can assist, but I'm not holding my breath.

re tablet to keyboard link

Post by maintech »

I have exhausted searches here in Ontario re the cable link between the PA600 and the Samsung tablet SM-T900 12.2 so that the keyboard songbook is loaded when song is selected on tablet.
Samsung do not helped much, and Korg has failed to even reply. I'm going to try and contact a UK cable supplier for an OTG (On The Go) cable. It seems that the charging cable lacks some kind of connecting condition, perhaps its USB 2 rather than USB 3, but other tablet makes seem to respond to that kind of cable. Tablet is still better than paper, and pedal page turn is awesome.
