The StyToKSet setting is individual for individual songs, it should be part of the settings in the SongBook.

get rid of some of the Pa4X nonsense

Post by keybee »

1) KORG should make it possible to save a modified original style from one single page together with keyboard set chord sequence to a new user style + user keyboardset with a single key click (after choosing some new names ... best would be auto proposal of names). The old way, things were saved on the Pa4X, is ridiculous and inferior (but otherwise I really like the Pa4X very much), but this insanity should not be inherited under any circumstances to
this brave new generation !!!

2) The RECORD section should have auto start like the arranger

3) The Pad RECORD section should allow background acc. from the arranger WITHOUT recording the background arranger acc. This allows to record very specific acc. pads. THAT WOULD BE GREAT !!!!

Get rid of the very cheap looking and unattractive, plain, thin, wood ends with the screw-holes showing - on the 88-key.

And give them the same angled, no screw-hole, look as the 61-key and 76-key.

Yes, this was a HUGE miss by Korg for not having them- on an otherwise stellar looking keyboard.

Correct the sound selection. If the channel is set as external, allow to enter the program number as on Pa4X. On Pa5X, the internal audio is selected instead, this does not make sense.

Get rid of the cheap external power brick/wall wart that they are putting internally in the Pa5X to cut corners and save money...

And put in a real internal power supply.

I would like the Synchro Start to turn off automatically after I start playing. I don't understand why it stays on. When I forget to turn it off after I start playing, it starts the style playing again if I touch the keybed. At least make it an option so people can have it both ways. Some might like it to stay on, and others may like it to turn automatically off after they start playing.

When you load Song 2 from songbook to the player 2 during playing song 1 from player 1, pa5x automatically load vocal processor setting assaign to the song 2.

Korg should load this VP setting when you START playing Song 2

Global Octave Shift in Setting

Post by mstodola »

I most often change octaves -1 when picking Keyboard Sets. I wish for a setting in "settings" that changes the overall octave globally so I don't have to push the octave button for every keyboard set I pick.

1-It would be great if the yellow and blue light of players could blink the tempo of the selected style so you can visualize the tempo before starting the style! Like in Pa 4, blinks the tempo on the start button light!
2- When i use manual bass the lowest key is out of range, it should be +1 octave!
