Korg Forums

Hey everyone
I mentioned the issues and missing features of the Pa5X to a well-known store that posted a video of the keyboard on YouTube, and they told me there will be news about an update very soon. The person who replied thought it would be version 1.5, but I believe they were referring to 1.4, and they said Korg told them it is going to be a major update.

What improvements would you like to see from Korg?

Personally, I would love to have new round robin drum kits, better SoundFont support, SFZ support, and multitrack WAV audio recording. And of course, the backing sequencer, the style creator, and all the other classic features that are still missing.

I see every post that we've been asking in the new Korg update asking for things that aren't that important for a live performance.
While we still having issues with freezing in the middle of a live gig?
This is the biggest and most basic problem that needs to be fixed.
Having the synth shut down during a show while playing music is a disaster.
Neither version 1.2.1 nor 1.3.1 is stable regarding this issue.

Can the problem of shutdown during playing be repeated? If yes, what are the exact steps to repeat the problem? Only when the problem can be repeated, the software can be debugged and fixed.

I don't expect Korg to release 1.4. I suspect it will be a MAJOR version such as 2.0 similar to what they did with the Pa4x and the NeXt version. There are too many new features to qualify for a minor 1.4 version.

thought it was just me , I was playing last week when the analog pad on Lower suddenly went down 2 octaves and the flute on flute strings keyboard set started tweeting with an echo nothing could change it and after pressing other sound choices the keyboard froze and only switching off and restarting solved it , is that anything like your experience? it was very unnerving so not something you would want to even be possible for live performing = OS 1.3.1
