KORG Pa5X - Load a style And Pads from a PC software

Post by Jacques-OUZY »

Hello,
Currently, I know how to order the Pa5X from my software for
- Upload a SONGBOOK recording from its Number
- Retrieve the N° of a SONGBOOk recording when selected
- Load SONG in the LOWER-UPPER3-UPPER2-UPPER1 of a KBDSET
- Select a KBDSET1-KBDSET2-KBDSET3-KBDSET4
- Select PLAYER1 -PLAYER2 - Select the INTRO-VAR-FILL Etc...

I would like to be able to do the same thing for
- Load a STYLE
- Load a Pad in PAD1-PAD2-PAD3-PAD4

Despite my searches I can't find the list of Pa5X Styles with MSB-LSB-PC CODES (There is one for Pa4X in the Pa4x doc, but nothing in the Pa5x Os 131 doc)
I'm looking for the same thing for PADS

In my Pa5X MIDI Settings I have
In MIDIin Channel
Ch1 to Ch4: LOWER-UPPER1-UPPER2-UPPER3-UPPER4
Ch5 to CH8: PA1 to PAD4 From Player1
Ch16 : Control
In MIDIOut Channel
Ch16. : Control
Other channels on Off

It says in the doc that the style changes are to be sent on the Control channel but nothing happens
I tried to send the codes of an Electric Guitar pad (code retrieved on the Pad editing screen) 121-040-027 sent on the 4 midi channels 5 to 8.
Nothing happens

I did the same thing For a style. (I took a pa4x style code) and nothing happens

How are the Banks STYLE Built Based on the list of the Pa4X:
The MSB = 000
The LSB = Bank Number from 0 to 12 corresponding to the 13 types of the Pa5X OS131
The PC = the Style No. - Each bank contains a maximum of 128 styles

The principle must be the same for USERS with an MSB of different value

If someone is interested in the subject and can give me information
- How to find the REAL Styles and PADS Codes
- The official list of Pa5x Styles and PADS Codes
- In fact, everything you need to make a "Pa5x Manager" yourself.

Thank you in advance
