Korg pa5x OS v1.2.1 (Bug-Fix Release)

pawlikp100 · Post by **pawlikp100** » Thu Nov 16, 2023 5:10 am

Hello, there is a new OS version for korg pa5x v1.2.1

. Overall system stability
Improvements to the overall system stability, system response time and other minor adjustments have been made. Imported user data from Pa4X is now more stable. Settings with “no Style” for the startup could cause a freeze of the instrument and this has been fixed.

2. Track-type assignment (Acc/Drum Track)
Some particular User-Styles containing Drum-Tracks with harmonic relevant notes, were not chord sensitive in 1.2.0. This is fixed so these tracks can be used as chord-dependent tracks.

3. SongBook
SongBook data from version 1.1.0 could have problems in 1.2.0 using particular settings. All settings such as track-information for Styles used in the SongBook are now saved correctly.

4. Reset & Tap function
Improved RESET and TAP functionality on Style and Keyboard set tracks.

5. Scale options, chord-follow and transpose positioning
A new fourth option of assigning the QT/scale position has been added. Style Tracks with no detune were not scaled by applying the Quarter Tone/Scale-preset in real-time (while using the setting “ALL-tracks”). This new fourth option “All Tracks – Style Tracks priority” provides scale behavior similar to previous Pa-models. Furthermore, the Chord follow option is now working correctly using the transpose even with Intros and Endings.

6. MP3 – Playback
In certain situations the Pa 5X would restart while renaming an MP3-file and this has been fixed.

7. PCM/Sound
In certain situations PCM data could be corrupted while saving or loading using the normal “save.KST”-procedure and this has been fixed.

Do you think there will be another end of year OS update or this is it for a while?

Maybe this update had some critical items that they wanted to push a bit sooner?

A few months ago, i reported new information that indicated Korg intended to release smaller, more frequent updates, At the time i could not verify this information and still can not, as Korg are not talking, but... could this be the start of this rumoured information I received?

Time will tell and we will keep watching.

There is also rumors about the person that who can korg best are back in Italy

!
And I think he is that special person who really can save them out since many new people are not even musicians just programmers.
Just rumors, but there is something going on there for sure.
I understand that the OS is totally new, but it’s not Windows 11 or OSX.
In the end even the Apple has more updates than Korg

This is good news and appreciated.

hi everyone i'm currently looking at the new axis. on pa5x and for 18 months this is very frivolous on their part in the record there is no improvement in the midi marker import format 0 the number of bars does not work everything is the same as the old back sequencer there is nothing that has not been improved like the midi protocol until when it was people this is terrible to us such a waste of time

I hope there is custom sorting, not only alphabeticall sorting.

1.2.1 after 6 months, 5-6 fixes.

What about 1.3? 1.5?

2026?

Hi,
I am pleased with any O/S update (however small) as it's heading in the right direction.
It does seem strange that we got O/S 1.2 in July this year then the latest minor update comes 24 hours after Yamaha launch their new Genos 2 arranger.
Coincidence ?

Hi Gunnar J,
I find that link confusing as it does not correspond to Version 1.21 but 1.2 and 1.1.

I'm wondering what is the source of bellow fixes that are critical ...
I do not find any references in documents but I will investigate them.

- PCM/Sound
In certain situations PCM data could be corrupted while saving or loading using the normal “save.KST”-procedure and this has been fixed.

- Track-type assignment (Acc/Drum Track)
Some particular User-Styles containing Drum-Tracks with harmonic relevant notes, were not chord sensitive in 1.2.0. This is fixed so these
tracks can be used as chord-dependent tracks.

- Scale options, chord-follow and transpose positioning
A new fourth option of assigning the QT/scale position has been added. Style Tracks with no detune were not scaled by applying the Quarter
Tone/Scale-preset in real-time (while using the setting “ALL-tracks”). This new fourth option “All Tracks – Style Tracks priority” provides
scale behavior similar to previous Pa-models. Furthermore, the Chord follow option is now working correctly using the transpose
even with Intros and Endings.

Hi Chris.
The header of the page when I click the URL is:
Pa5X/New Features of ver. 1.2.1 and press the download result in a pdf file with more info.

Maybe this direct link to the pdf work better?
