For a quick look without using the keyboard......

"0xED.app" - it's free.

This is a "poor-man's" option for you which may help.

The program is a Hexadecimal File Editor - you simply open any ".STY" file and you can see the style headers with the style names in the right-hand text column. You do it STY file at a time.
Be careful NOT to make any changes to the file.

Might be as easy and as quick on the actual PA4X but if you only have your Mac available this will at least work.

We are still waiting for our genuine Korg PA editor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.
Thank you...

I downloaded a bunch of user created style sets, converted from other keyboards... They all where named user1.set or favorites1.set. This gives me no clue whats inside those sets witouth uploading them on the pa4x...


I would love an archive program for PC and Mac, allowing you to not only create your own styles and keyboard sets.. But also archiving all those styles and keyboard sets, sounds and multipads in a browsable database...

Hi Bachus

Yep!! We've been waiting for a PC/Mac "SET" editor for.... let me see now..... 13 years????

On the PA4X, you could make use of the "Direct Access" feature to prevent having to load all the Styles manually - not the best solution but it has helped me.

Cheers
