Korg Pa4x Versioin 3.0.1 restart issue

armaan · Post by **armaan** » Tue Apr 30, 2019 8:13 pm

My Pa4x restarts for no reason. Details:

I have created a custom beat in 4/4 time signature. Programmed drums used factory VintageKit 1 Amb, Percussion: Sampled audio (stored in User sample section), Bass: JB Finger BsDN1, Acc 1: Natural Nylon (Guitar Track) - Guitar track is used in acc 1 - 3. Pads 1 to 3 Guitar track. I have programmed intro 1 to End 3. The beat works fine but when I play arpeggios after ten minutes or so the keyboards acts funny: the keyboards shuts down and restarts automatically while I am playing. This happened several time now.

In the Global Section, the auto power on/off is turned off. It should not restart the keyboard even if it is turned on because I am using the keyboard. Does any one else experienced this issue?

This is happening to many of 4x Users after .3.1
Must wait to OS update.
Dangerius on Stage.

Korg is informed about this bug since day3of Os3.1 release.
Bad news is that it can happen on Os3.0 as well....
Good news is that i am not sloppy or crazy about bugs when i point them(everyone had already an answer to throw me back,back then)

Didn't happen to me since 3.1 ,but after reload Os3 happened once or twice, but i was using USB as midi or connected, i suspect it must be something that has to do with Usb or Global settings,MAXX etc,or any other new function that exists on both versions.

Hi armaan,

does this restart happen as well if you use a "built in "percussion set ?

Or only if you use the one based on samples ?

The unpredictable shutdown-restart has now been reported in many different situations.
To me now, it appears to not relate to anything specific and it seems no-one can replicate it on demand.
This makes it horrendous for Korg to find and fix.
It has been reported to happen in EDIT mode, playing Demos, loading SETs and even doing nothing!!!
The (hopefully) only common factor is that it relates to V3

This is a maximum severity problem and I am hoping Korg is working hard on it now.

I am not gigging with my PA4X currently and so can take a few risks BUT, if I was gigging at all I would definitely not be using V3 right now.

Cheers

Pete

karmathanever , i informed Korg for this the first days of v.3.01 release.

I can replicate it,so that means it must be related to something,it just seems harder for v3 to replicate it, opposite to v3.01 where seems there are multiple ways of doing that,including nothing, as you mentioned.
