I documented the process on my keyboard and it worked just fine for me.
I used the fast connection links...but I don't see how this should make any difference . You probably end up with more zip files and once you unzip them, you should end up with the same file/folder like everybody else.

I was also asked to use the PKG file:

Thanks, not sure what is wrong with this one as I have done many updates without any problems, I just did it again and same message from my pa "selected PKG is not valid" what do you use to extract the file after it dowloaded? Is it WinRAR?

Yes. It could also be that the files didn't download correctly?

Thanks Sam, just last question please, where can I get winRAR and do I need to pay for this soft wear? If so what is the safe web I can purchase from

Thanks again

I bought it directly from the official site:

https://shop.rarlab.com/16/purl-winrar_ ... quantity=1

They may even have a trial version that would do the job for you. I don't really think you need this though. Isn't this just a standard zip file that can
be unzipped/decompressed using Microsoft tools?

Hopefully someone else can confirm this, but I still think once you have all the zip files (1-5), you should be able to right-click and decompress/unzip. That is if you're using a pc of course. It would be very strange if KORG required us to buy a special software for doing this.

Hi,

no need to buy WinRAR.

Go to "7zip.org" and download 7-zip.

It´s freeware and can handle zip and rar files and much more ;)

You don't even need to decompress the 5 (or 6 if it is Oriental version) files.
Are you sure you downloaded all 5 files and not only the 1st one?

Yes you are correct I just realised I only downloaded 1 out of 5 and as we speak I am 12 mimutes away from dowloading all 5, let hope that was the problem

Thanks again

It is 100% sure that it ll work if you downloaded the correct version (pkg or upd depending on what your keyboard asks for) and standard or oriental (depending on your keyboard model)!
Have fun with the new os!!It ll take some time to install so be patient!!

I cant thank you enough for the support in this group, unfortunately and for the first time my 4x is not reading the dowloaded files
My 4x reads PKG and when I select the files from usb the 4x start verifying and then message saying file invalid!
Here the steps I go through:
Korg web- download OS 2.0 filesx5- send files to usb- then folow the update pricedure on 4x
I tried this with files ziped and also extracted using winRAR, I have now downloaded 7.zip as recommended but maybe I dont know how to unzip the files

Thank you once again, but if any member undestands what I may be doing wrong and out me in the right path I will be greatfull for the help
