For me this is a Positive OS update and proves Korg Listens to its users

I am also wondering about the differences between the .pkg and .upd files. Are the results the same? The accompanying instructions doesn't give any guidance - tells you to select either a pkg or upd file

UPD file is the new factory OS/Resources encrypted format container that Korg Pa invested mainly for future use ,
where backwards OS compatibility will be prevented , and might be applied to all PaSeries , providing new features.
Already from OS v1.21 main PaSeries hard core is encrypted , and next step was the PKG container for the rest resources.
This will ensure factory resources protection against PKG unpacking/hacking tools that appeared around network ...

Hi Antony,
sorry, your post was a bit too technical for me, is it possible to put it a bit more simply ie how it will affect us ?

Hello!
It will not affect normal users in any way (at least not bad way)...
If they drop support for older OS , it will be only a security measure against cracking.

Many musicians Korg PA3X players to use the MP3 function harmonizer which itself! can create vocal harmonies. There is no need to enter the hand chords. ! Everyone I know wants and waits in Pa4x this feature. I expect when it comes to MP3 harmonizer Pa4x so I can use it. It's an amazing opportunity.

Just wondering? It doesn't say it in the upgrade instructions, but should factory protect be disabled for updates. Makes sense if it should?

what are your thoughts

Factory protect is a usermode function (like a "read-only" button in a pc program) when you install a new os these settings are not being read by the updater, it bypasses everything automatically...

So when does the factory protect get over written if it's a read only?

I think that, like the rest of us, ones skill set will still be the determining factor, rather than a minor update. I have wished for a magic wand for 50 years and never got it. Good old fashioned hard work and experience is the answer.
