Songbook migration from 4x to 5x

Post by ova »

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to migrate all the songbook settings of the Pa4x into the Pa5x, as it was from 3x to 4x?
Or do we need to create each setting from scratch.

Thanks

Yes, this can be done. In fact you can migrate a .set to a .kst quite easily from the keyboard. There’s a special conversion tool in the PA5X (under File button/menu). See the manual or some YT demos. For instance:

Don’t forget to turn off the instrument’s Auto Turn Off, because it may take some time to convert.
As far as I know, this conversion works very well.
It includes the SongBook.

Hi F-minor, and thanks for your reply.

Have you tried to convert your own songbook (if you use one obviously) from 4x to 5x? In some previous posts of 2022 some people were complaining that the conversion of a set does not include the songbook and that you must re-enter all the data one by one.

Is it feasible with the new OS update?

Thanks again.

Conversion includes songbook however not all items can be converted properly.
Those are marked with hash #.
