Someone is offering PA900 sounds and styles backup and is saying they can be installed on PA4X! Would it work?

If it's .set file containing (user) sounds and styles and it's not protected,
Yes you can load them. Always make a backup before you load anything.
And personally, I would never load the Global file and Songbook.

You can also use the file as a Direct set to see/listen what's in it.

If Pa900 backup is in ThisSET.SET format , yes you can load partially the majority of resources but not the whole set in one shot !
1) If SET is based on Pa900 factory resources and not user sounds/pads then assign it as Direct and explore it.
2) If SET contains custom sounds / pads with or without samples then the recommended procedure after saving
your own SET , is to open ThisSET.SET , load the following folders :
- SOUND
- PAD
and then assign it as Direct SET in order to and explore it.
If while loading SOUND/PAD you get the "not all of samples are loaded" incomplete message then get rid of it !!!
BTW : After Pa3X , Global file can not be loaded from older models , you will receive the "not pa file" message !

Hope this helps

Frans, Anthony,
