Ability to change skin/colors and font revert to old skin

Post by deliad »

So we got v3 and have big sampler memory now

But the new skin / look is so terrible and not readable, especially on live stage, the new skin is beautiful and looks cool , but not practical for working, fonts are small not bolden not clear, Barely readable, colors are dark

Its big minus, please add an option to change font and background color and text color!

I'm sure i'm not the only one that it bothers him.

I got dizzy trying to see if i can scroll through styles and locate my favorites,sometimes i can't even read them in first place .....it's gonna be a bad summer season working like that.

Good thing is that styles and sounds do sound better.
Wind and string instruments are much improved.

Too bad there aren't more style banks ,at least two pages for each category,either factory,user or direct.
It shouldn't be that hard.....

Barely readable

I agree the new update colors are nice and it looks cleaner nice and neat looking . I think the drop down tabs are very hard to read because of the colors they use their and the size of the font also in the songbook mode picking a new set list drop-down menu again very hard to read. When you're in a karaoke mode or song play mode the four single touch settings at the bottom again too small hard to read I tried it on the staged today I struggled reading the screen. So now I'm going back to version 2 I won't be updating unless a fix the screen.. :(

I'm pretty sure they're not going to fix the screen resolution that was a big selling feature..
In the other one was the boot up time boot up time for OS 3, was 50 seconds and the boot up time now for OS to 52 seconds that's not a big gain but it's a start

How do you do that - is there a slider for it?

Personally I'm quite happy with the new GUI, but I can imagine that in some circumstances some things may be difficult to read.
Maybe Korg can reimplement a color/GUI change option, like in the 'old' PA3X, PA800.
I don't think it will be possible to make just one GUI that fits ALL customers needs.
Versatility always has been THE big plus of KORG arrangers.

Play in style. ;)

It would be awesome if we could have option to choose theme for GUI.... Some of us like dark theme, but some liked "old"theme more... At least theese two options ,KORG,please ?

I was disappointed in the display quality when the 4X was first released. The latest update seems to be a step forward or backward depending on one's personal preferences - no surprise. I commend Korg for being responsive to our criticism by trying a different approach to the GUI but I think it's going to take a better quality (higher resolution) display before this issue goes away. Hopefully this will happen with the next new keyboard release. In the mean time, I am appreciative and enjoying many of the features of the FREE! update. Thank you Korg.

One more thing...is it my imagination or is the quality of the screen much better during the calibration/update process?
