there was an extra tiny booklet that came with my micro-x
and talked about the favourites option added in with an OS update...


...i didn't read it, and then lost it

i couldn't see this booklet online

anyone wanna go through the favourites thing for me?
or scan the booklet and upload it?

(or find it online, maybe i'm just a dumb c*nt)

anyways, any help would be appreciated.

trying to find alternatives to rearranging my programs.
because i hate how it messes up all those combi's i hardly use.

Basically - you have 10 favourite slots available.

To add a favourite, hold the "-" button and press any of the 1-10 buttons to assign the current sound to that slot.
To go to a favourite, press the "./HOLD" button thrice - you'll notice that a black "FAVOURITE" appeared on the LCD. When it is lit, you will jump to your favourites just via pressing 1-10.
However when "FAVOURITE" is active, you cannot assign favourites via "-", so you'll just have to press "./HOLD" to cancel it.

As an alternative you can visit the last page of your Global Settings.

That might work for an X-50 but a microX doesn't have 1-10 buttons. AFAIK there is no favourites function on the microX unless, as 4NDRW said, it has been put into a firmware update. Have there been any of those?

Oups. True that.

thanks for that Tiayviel

but yeh, no numpad on micro-x
so after reading your post, i just kept trying all sorts of button combinations till i found it

yes you can access the favourites as that last page on the global menu
it is divided between 2 pages, "upper" has 5 slots, and refers to using the 5 program buttons

"lower" has another 3 slots, and refers to the combi buttons
so thats 8 favourites slots in total.

or a short cut to assign is:
hold [CANCEL] and tap one of the [PROG] or [COMBI] bank buttons

to access them, hold [CANCEL] and tap [GM]
all the combi/prog bank buttons will light up
the word "favourites" appears on part of the screen.
and you can tap the bank buttons to access the relevant patches

very cool!

worth stickying?

Yeah but with the x50 it's impossible to update isn't it??

no idea

@ Keyboardz

Are you asking whether it's possible to add the Favourites-function to the X50? Yes, it is via an OS update available at KORG's website.

Hold on - I found the OS update on the website of KORG Germany/Austria. Call me stupid but I haven't been able to locate it neither on Korg.com nor Korg.uk.com - you might want to look for yourself. If you're interested, here is the link to the German site:

http://www.korg.de/x50-betriebssystem.html

I hope I'm not violating any forum rules here.

As far as I remember, the installation is in English - feel free to contact me if that's not the case or if there are any other language-related hurdles you might need help to get over (that's if your not German-speaking, of course)

Hope this helps
