Pa500 - No velocity curve for new oscillators.

[Nano0240]

When I try to edit a sound and add an oscillator, the new oscillator is basically as if it were stuck on 127, that is, no curve. I've tried adjusting the Scaled Velocity parameter but to no avail. All the sounds in the USER bank (default Piano) are also the same. All preset sounds have the velocity like they're supposed to. Is there something wrong I'm doing? I got it used and the original owner had a foreign soundset installed , so I downloaded the Factory Reset program to the SD card and ran it. But the old soundset is still there (looking at the card's contents there's folders called “VLADO SET.SET”, “VLADO MIDI”, “ Pantic2011 Pa500.SET” and “NEXA - namjenski ritmovi za Korg Pa1Xpro,pa50,pa60,pa80folder” among others). Was the Factory Default file maybe corrupt? Or a sort of conflict between the two soundsets on the same card?

Any help would be appreciated and sorry if this is confusing. BTW Its the normal Pa500, not the Pa500 Local series.

i think you can try reloading the music resource file, available at korpa.com.
not the OS, only the music resources.
if that doesnt work, reload the OS and then load the musical resources.

Sadly neither worked... I'm not sure what's wrong... DL'ed the latest versions and even deleted the old files off of the card. Any other suggestions?

reset the keyboard, follow advice at korgpa, download reset file and proceed, be careful it will format internal ssd, u have to load os and resources again.

Nope. That sadly didn't work either.

can u adjust the knobs, i,e make osc below 127? if yes then it is meant to be that way, u have to adjust vit acc to ur requirement.

when you made a reset factory-reset-procedure, on my mind something happened wrong:
first unzip downloaded file Pa500_Factory_Reset_v[nnn].zip to root of your sd-card.

turn pa500 off, insert sd-card and turn Pa500 on, while keeping the INTRO 3 button pressed.
then “SSD Format…” message will appear and now press the MEDIA button to start the Factory Reset procedure and confirm. Now formatting runs.

After automatically formatting ends, loading of the “Pa500ALL.pkg” system file will start automatically, and a “Loading package…” message appears on the display. After some seconds, a progress bar will show the loading advancement and at the end of the procedure, a message asks you to restart the instrument. Turn the instrument off then on again. It now should be ready with factory-data.

This might help. Rather than work on an "empty" new oscillator copy one across from another sound and work on this instead. This way there will already be the basics (vel curves, amps, filters) already in place. Choose an oscillator similar to the sound you are trying to achieve. So in Sound mode, start with an existing sound or increase the osc count in Sound Basic, then use the drop down menu to Copy an osc across from another Sound.
