Korg Forums

I think that only Members of Keyboard Clubs who play at members Open
nights and are Yamaha users will fully understand the need for having a USB stick available for use on any other persons keyboard.
This is why I believe Korg users in general don't see the need for this feature.
Whilst playing Yamaha for years I found this more than useful.Programmes
for special events, Xmas/New Year etc were stored on sticks, they could
be modified any time and did'nt take up space on the keyboard HD..
Having changed to Korg some time ago I can now understand why we Korg users do not play someone elses keyboard and they do not play ours.
As a keen Korg player I would still welcome the availabilty to use Songs,
Styles etc,direct from the USB Stick. I also think it would be an addition
to the Pa series which would extend the home user market for Korg.

In the meantime I will continue to find out more and more about my 4x
and continue to enjoy playing it.

Hi ecca.
I never knew such clubs even existed. Is this something more for Home Keyboard Players who love to get out, or do actually Gigging Musicians play in such clubs?

Regards
Sharp.

Hi Sharp, yes we have gigging musicians who play at our club on our Open Nights as well. We have monthly meetings the first Thursday of the month we have a well known professional artist who play either organ or keyboard, then on the third Thursday of the month we have our Open Night, which is where 7 of our members play a 20 minute spot, either on their own keyboard, or just bring their USB stick and use someone else's keyboard, of course this can only be owners of Yamaha keyboards. They can also just bring a USB stick and play our club's organ, a Ringway RS600, which a few of our members own. Or they can play our club's piano, again a Yamaha DGX 640.
I would have thought there were other clubs around the UK who do similar things.

That's fantastic. I wish we had clubs like that around here. It's a great idea.

Hi Ecca, we have people who come to our Forum meetings in Skegness, which we hold twice a year, who also take advantage of the wonderful feature of being able to put your own Registrations on a USB stick and then play them on someone else's keyboard, because some of the people come from Ireland, Scotland and we have even had one of our members come all the way from Texas, now imagine having to bring your own keyboard all that way if you couldn't use this facility.

Hi Bud,

Hi Paolo, I think this is too much to expect from most of our members, it was not easy to let them know they could do it on the Yamaha keyboards, very easy. However if they had to mess about saving this then loading that and then having to load the original stuff back after they had finished I doubt anyone would do it.

John, the difference is, with Yamaha there is no saving the original stuff on the keyboard you are going to borrow, then loading yours, now if someone else wants to use the keyboard they have to load all there stuff on and at the end the guy's who's keyboard you were using has to load all his stuff back on. There is none of this with Yamaha because you are not messing up any of the stuff on the keyboard at all, you just plug in your USB stick and away you go, when you have finished you take your stick out and there is nothing more to do, no loading up the guy's stuff whos keyboard you have borrowed. That is the major difference and I will not say anymore about this as it seems to be upsetting the whole thread. End

I no longer own a Yamaha, but I kept a USB stick with all my settings on it, so if I want to go set in for a friend who has one, it is as simple as inserting the stick, and calling up registrations.
It is not a factor with Korg PA4x, because I'm the only one within 150 miles to own one! Smile

... and I like it like that!
