User manual is garbage.....

Post by ANAFREE »

I downloaded the Pa5X/Performance Guide to check out the new features but it doesn't contain any information about many things like: Sound generation... / Edit or Record a new style ..... lots of information are missing 😏 I don't know if there a full manual PDF on the way.... The strange thing is the name of the manual "Performance guide" that's what I've never seen before.

It's only a Quick Start Guide, NOT a full manual. Korg UK said that it is coming soon!

The user manuals that have so far been released are very fussy regarding the Adobe Acrobat version, when they don't appear to contain any fancy PDF features.

I think we got PA4.5 not PA5 regarding to OS yet...

I am waiting for all the features to be implemented first (like quantize in style edit along with other things that is missing or i am stupid and i can't find it)...

I m sure they ll need some time to get everything working as it should but i am also sure that they will do it..
Give it 3 to 6 months (maybe even less).

At least it hasn't crashed on me yet at all and it sounds way better even with old sets if you make use of all the new features!

Huge plus the stereo samples that make a lot of things easier!

Yes I got it right after it was announced.
I m sure they ll add everything with updates but currently,function wise, it is not even on par with pa3 (no locked sets, style record with a lot of bugs and unusable cause of too many missing functions )...
I couldn't even find an undo on a recording in the style record...
Not even mute track ..Maybe they are somewhere else but i couldn't find them..

Why all this fuzz..

Isn’t it obvious that the real manual is not released yet.

Korg are the kings of manuals,
No reason why this will be different this time


So, can we stop complaining now?

Thank you for your post, I'm not sure I understand how the Pa5X makes use of a .SET file from a Pa4X. Have you done this please?
Best regards

You likely know much more than I do, but in reference to muting tracks. I thought I viewed a few video references that showed you can Mute Tracks through the Matrix Buttons.

Might need to bring up the Mixer Page, but I believe the capability is there.

Mute track, can be done trough matrix, or the programmable buttons under the sliders. And also on the screen..

Why advanced manual and voice/multisample list take so long to appear?

Those should be available from day 1!
