I would think that the video does not show the repair engineer how you came into the locked state. Is it while you are playing a specific file? Is it during high polyphony moments? Or is it random? The video only shows that the unit is locked and needs the panic button pressed. When I'm holding the sustain down too long and I have many sounds playing, and I'm pounding on the keybed, I can get any of my keyboards to hick-up from time to time and lock with a sound such as I saw in the video. I think I've been able to do it with my Oasys, PC3, Yamaha's, all of them. My PC3 has a panic button for this (which I've used recently while running a huge Setup) so does my Yamaha MOX. I usually lighten up and use more modules to produce the sounds so the keyboard isn't so burdened.

By the way Korg says in the manual (page 1057) that it has a panic button. It's the Start/Stop switch.

I think at the moment the Korg team can't reproduce your problem, so they are confused. I would give them a lot more specific information on how you came to have the sound stick in a locked state. Even bad power can create such lockups.

I'm not making light of your problem. But if it happened to me with two completely different keyboards, and others are not having the problem, I would look at what I was doing that might create the situation.

Yep, it's been that combination on Korg arrangers for ever.

You need to share the answer to this problem.

If someone says they have a problem with their Pa4x and he the repairman cannot duplicate it, in other words the unit seems to be working perfectly for the repairman, there would be confusion in his mind.

Hope that helps.

Ok now... enough is enough.....

Except the freezing problem there are more....
1) While on style record mode everything gets erased.

2) mute is not always working

3) G# 3 suddenly is clicking like hell.Keep in mind that is not a key that is been used frequently because I use the first octave to play the styles.It is been used only when I play piano on the keyboard.

What is going on with this keyboard?

I am sending it back!!

I dont think I am going mad,thats for others to comment on.
However may I make a comparison with regard to the problems many people are having.
I had an eleven year old car and received a recall letter from the manufacturers stating that I should contact my local ------ garage and have a problem fixed at no charge. This has obviously come about, in my opinion, because many people were having a problem. I would have thought that the manufacturers warranty had long since expired!!!
Well done manufacturer.

So please answer me why, after so many people are posting concerns with regard to this keyboard, the manufactuerer, i.e Korg, have not had the common courtesy to make a comment . Even if it is to say something like, we are sorry people are experiencing problems but be assured we are investigating this and will keep you informed of our progress.

Is that to much to ask.

Best wishes

Keith Lawton

Keith-helen slowly turning in to a public relations disaster would you not say? ....and yiannis with out wanting to patronise your good self.. hang in there if you feel to do so and push for a solution as other are also doing, so i will say "again korg" we still have a very good platform "PA4X" and we know this because many other out there with PA4X arragers would seem to be operating in good order which is the destination all those with these problem desperately want to arrive at soon..... so my rational mind is still telling me to continue and this is because I do not give up easily Korg and we would like to think you feel the same??? ........and Korg ......i will do the diplomacy for you this evening and I won't charge you my consultancy fee in the process...
