Micro SD card capacity for the PA4x - my experience

Post by bobeld@aol.com »

I had inquired at Korg USA about the size of the micro SD card and was told in December (before I received my PA4x that 32 GB would work but that they thought that 64 might work but had not tested it yet).
After I received my PA4, I asked again (hoping they had tested it with a 64GB card).
The reply from Korg USA was that the PA4x only supported 32 GB

I decided to spring for a 64GB card anyway just to see if it would work. Worse came to worse I could swap it with the 32 GB in my smartphone and use it there.

I am happy to report that a 64GB micro SD works perfectly with the PA4x. Just make sure you format it on the PA4x before copying files to it.

Just for the record, the micro SD is a Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 SDXC.

I too was unsure regarding micro Sd card for my PA4X, I purchased a 64gb & 32gb and I can confirm that the 64gb worked perfectly and I have a 32gb as spare if I fill up the 64gb.

Fully tested?

If you fill the SD-64GB can everything be accessed? Seen?

I am just a little concerned that Korg recommend no larger than 32GB - there must be a reason even if the reason is unreasonable!!!!

I would recommend that you stay "prepared" in case there is a problem.
