My meaning of the question was to load Korg PA4X styles Direct from the USB stick straight into the keyboard without loading styles into User or Favourites slots/ ports.

Hi Ronnie,
to each his own the way they like to have their styles organised.
Personally I like using the favourites user slots. I organise the styles I use into favourites slots including copying factory styles into them. There's so many styles in the keyboard I probably will never use, for me its handy having the ones I do use, organised to suit me.
The factory styles are there as a base for when I need to find a style. I can then tweak if I want to, then I save as a favourite.
The styles I have for direct play on USB are my old style base which I have collected from older keyboards and stuff I have converted/ created over the years.
These I also use as a base if looking for a style for a song, which I then also load into a favourite slot if I find a suitable one.
Doing it this way , works for me. I'm only a home player/ hobbyist.

Hi Ronnie, unless someone fills you in on "how to "in the meantime, I'll try and explain it to you tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I've just gone to bed.
It's a great feature.
If you need some extra styles, happy to send you my database.

.. that is impossible - we already had this in October 2016 -->
| siebenhirter wrote: | | shadowhankron wrote: | | .. how do you prepare a USB to use for access via Direct Preference.. |
To prepare an USB as described (first step; Manual page 921):
- load your user styles into the PA4X FAVORITE/USER style locations (or use existing memory content of style locations of Favorite/User)
- create a set of User and Favorite banks (Manual page 895)
- save this set into a SET folder of your USB - these will be the Direct banks to be used for access via Direct Preference. |
If prepared to use Direct Bank of an USB:
- open StyleSelect and choose the DIRECT PREFERENCES command from the page menu
- select the SET folder to be used as the Direct set of banks
- press the USER/DIRECT button to make the Direct banks appear
PS: Dont believe "Direct Disk" access with Pa4x is a real direct access - that is an alternate designation of Korg for a multistage-procedure to prepare an USB to finally be used for User/Favorite data residing like in a storage device of Pa4x.
A somewhat cumbersome solution of memory expansion -->

Hi Ronnie,
The keyboard isn't working out, or you don't quite get the instructions?

Thanks again...I found it hard to try load usb styles direct to play without using a user or favourite bank.
I also don't know how to create a .SET folder to put what styles I want use direct from usb.
How do I make a .SET folder please,I did not see it on any drop box to show me.
Rikki you mentioned the offer of styles,are these the same as Korg site styles ...Perhaps you could PM me please on what styles you mentioned please
Also the other day I was editing a style and MAXX editing...The exit button would not allow me to return to style play it just Froze...I had to reboot keyboard..It happened a few times before but now I mention it because elsewhere on forum complaints are about latest OS installed...My keyboard came from A C Hamilton UK with OS 1.2.4 loaded.
Ronnie

shadowhankron as you realise you are not on your own with these freezing issue, keep a note of these events and if this continues drop korg a line and let them know (although you say this happened on numerous occasions so may be it's time they did here from you)+ keep your dealer informed also, this is very important that korg are informed off these on going issue, so in the mean time the numbers continue to grow .....

You create a .SET folder on the USB by creating an eight character name with .SET as it's extension. Ex. "xxxxxxxx.SET". Then you pick it as the direct folder using the drop down screen in media mode.

Mstodola.....
thanks for that advice on how to make a .SET folder
So for example let's say I name it
Old hits60.SET. Or Seventies.SET
Is this what you meant,hopefully
D575
It would be useless for me to tell the store who supplied the keyboard as they are in UK ,. I am in Ireland...But if I had a contact for Korg I would write to them.
Perhaps the older OS is a safer system to use
Thanks Guys for getting back to me
Ronnie

I think it wants to be the 8.3 DOS format. I don't think you can have spaces. You can try it with more than 8 characters but I think it wants only 8. Try it and see. I'm not at my keyboard so I can't try it.
By the way you can have many .SET folders on the USB, but you can only have one at a time as your direct folder.

http://www.korg.com/uk/support/contact/ depending with which part of Ireland you are in I would still think your dealer still has a obligation to assist you and perhaps a phone call would confirm this? Above is the korg UK contract details I would certainly still inform korg of your freezing episode's as they need to evaluate how many are having these problems and why ...hope this helps.
