128MB is the default - you can expand this by removing the 128MB chip and replacing it with the Korg 256MB chip (EXB-M256)

Korg PA3X manual page 253 wrote:
Pa3X comes equipped with 128MB of Sample RAM already
installed. You can replace the internal RAM with an (optional)
board of 256MB of RAM, for increased sampling space.


Cheers

- With factory shipped 128 Mb Ram you can load up 256 Mb PCM if compressed.
- With 256 Mb Ram expansion you can load up to 512 Mb PCM if also compressed.
- But how do you know the actual size of PCM ? ... use PC explorer's size estimation to find out actual size of PCM folder
that is equal or smaller to 256Mb !
- The logical equation shows that a Set of 370mb PCM is by definition a compressed Set of Pa3X ( or both cases for Pa4X ) ,
this Set's actual size compressed is 185 Mb and can fit in an expanded Pa3X 256 Mb Ram.

Hope this helps

Pa3X & Pa4X use a compression algorithm that halves PCM size , read manual for details !

I already wrote you , this Set is 185 Mb and compressed , you will just load it when your ram expansion will be added !
