Nice. Finally the wait is over. I'll update the unit over this weekend and checkout the features.

I'll wait some feedback before I'll update it...

Cheers!

Finally it has arrived. Lots of improvements and new features, and a pack of new styles!
Great news!!

It seems that the OS is being developed in Italy, where factories typically close for the summer break in August.
My guess is that it will be released by the end of July.
At least that's what I read in my crystal ball!

FOR SALE: CRYSTAL BALL
It is very reliable and has seen very little use.
Can be used for future updates.
Price: contact via MP only.

Obvious, but still a good reminder!!!

This is much welcomed news .

I hope there will be many users that can demonstrate the new features etc when they get a chance and share their experience on the forum.

The major sticking point for me was the lack of a fully feature packed Sequencer and quick recorder and style editor . It's stuff I use all the time to try out new ideas with my band and choir . It's features that should have been carried over from the PA4X.

I was really put off by the lack of these key features and so I am more interested in the Pa5x . Those of you that have been so patient and waited for this substantial update, I hope it really does satisfy you. Your patience is admirable and far exceeds my own.

But I will wait and see how you guys get on with the new update and then maybe wait a bit longer

Excellent news for those that currently hold this beautiful instrument. I am very jealous just for the fact that you now have a new toy essentially.

I will watch and wait and we'll see what happens. A new keyboard might be in my future, who knows?

Enjoy everyone .

Decided to fire up my Korg Pa5X after downloading the new OS Release.

Wary of forgetting the instructions as it's not a regular operation (I like to spend time playing rather than keeping everything neat and tidy behind the scenes). I kept a brief note of my process:

Having the new OS download on a USB stick, it went like this:

1 Install new OS appox time - 1m 8s

2 Re-boot - (automatic) 3m (now ready to play)

3 Load my resources -
Song Book (large)
PCM sounds (few) 1m 30s

4 Re-start (from cold) 45s

I was playing a few favourite numbers within 10 mins. The voices sounded better than ever (maybe I had the volume up a little?)

5 Write / save new backup file 1m 20s

Thank you Korg!

Having read many of the problems reported by users with much greater experience of PA keyboards than I, I can only hope that the developments of the OS & UI help resolve at least some of their difficulties. Best wishes and great music to you all...

I will wait a week or two or longer until am sure there are no unseen problems , I have already heard about a few but not yet clear of the cause

I'm going to wait a few weeks to update to 1.4. I'm sure Korg will come out with a v1.4.1 hopefully to fix major bugs. For what it's worth there were 4 months between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1...
