File conversion from PA4x

I want to order the new PA5x but like many people have reservations.
My main concern is the file conversion from Pa4x to Pa5x. I have built up a large library of songbook entries, & I want to be 100% sure that I will be able to use all my files on PA5x.I have read in other posts about problems converting the current files across to PA5x.

So how many people have successfully done the conversion & is it still possible to number each song in songbook to link with a tablet to load the sheet music & vice versa as it is in PA4x.

Thank you
Tony

Hi,

as in german language YT-videos told the songbook import / conversation from PA4X to 5X is NOT YET possible,

Yes, it is possible to import the PA4X Songbook file into the 5X and it will convert it to a KST file including all the data from the old songbook, that's what was mentioned in today's Korg World webinar.

It will convert everything 'except' songbook is what was said on today's webinar.

Sorry, my bad!

Incidentally, they are going to have a "Styles" webinar and a "Matrix" webinar in the upcoming ones!
