Hi everyone!
I'm looking for the MP3 Expansion Board (EXBPMP3) for my PA1X. Does anybody have one for sale or perhaps could point me to a website where I could order one? So far I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the US or abroad. Any and all help would be appreciated!

MP3 Expansion Board Alternative
I was unable to locate an expansion board for my PA1X Pro and received the same answer from Korg USA. The solution I found was to purchase the Edirol R-09 24/48 kHz bit WAVE/MP3 recorder from a vendor on Amazon.com.
The unit is made by Roland and is more expensive than the expansion board, but it has some advantages. It can be used as an outboard recorder with high quality built-in mics or you can patch it to the right and left outputs of the PA1X with two standard microphone lines feeding into an adapter stereo mini-plug. I found the cables at Radio Shack. The unit can record MP3's at 320 Kbps or even better can make CD and studio quality 24 bit/48 kHz recordings which you can feed to a PC via USB.
I found this to be a very satisfactory alternative since the Korg board cannot make Wave files at the higher bit rate. The sound quality is superb.
I hope this helps.
