NEW FEATURES
OS VERSION 3.1
Installation and new features
Installing the new operating system
If new, your instrument might already include the new operating system. To
check it, please go to the Media > Utility page, and read the version number
in the lower area of the display.
To install the new operating system, please read the ‘Pa-Series – Loading
the OS’ instructions supplied with the installation file in our web site (www.
korg.com).
Note: By loading the new operating system, you also load all the features added by
the previous updates.
OS v2.0 needed before installing OS v3.1
Before installing this update, be sure your Pa4X already includes OS v2.0.0
or a later version (you can check it in the Media > Utility page). If it still includes a previous version (v1.x.x), please download and install v2.0.0 before
installing this update. You can find v2.0.0 at our web site.
Be sure to save all your custom data
This OS update could overwrite all the Factory and User data. Please follow
the ‘Pa-Series – Loading the OS’ instructions, and save all your custom data
into a new SET folder before upgrading the operating system.
|3
Clean the User Sample memory
If you still have OS v2.x installed, before installing the operating system be
sure to clean the User Sample Memory. Failing to do so will prevent the new
system from loading. Please follow the ‘Pa-Series – Loading the OS’ instructions to do it.
After loading the new OS, execute a Factory Restore
If you update from OS v2.x, after having loaded the operating system please
use the Media > Utility > Factory Restore command to update the musical
resources. Musical resources are loaded with the operating system, but must
be updated using this command.
Reload the Add-On data
After you install the new operating system and make a Factory Restore to
install the updated musical resources, reload the Add-On data (if you have
an Add-On installed). Please follow the instructions coming with the separate package.
Reload your custom data
After the Factory Restore operation, if you have saved your custom data before updating the operating system, reload them by using the Media > Load
operations. See the chapter dedicated to the file management in the User’s
Manual for more information.
Separate User resources
Together with the operating system, we supply a separate file (Pa4X NEXT
Musical Resources.SET) containing the new musical resources installed
with the v3/NEXT update. In case you want to mix your own User data and
our original content, you are free to load single banks or resources from
this file.
Going back to OS v2.2
If needed, you can install OS v2.2 again. First, download and install v2.0.0.
Then, download and install v2.2. You can find the older OS versions at our
web site.

User Interface
NEXT graphical user interface [3.0]
Pa4X now features the NEXT dark-glimmering look for its graphical user interface, becoming even more attractive and easy to use.
This new user interface offers the same arrangement of the on-screen elements, letting you find them where you expect. At the same time, it focuses
on the use of color contrast, to let the most relevant components come to
the foreground, while the static elements sit back unobtrusively.
Color coding is more evident than ever, helping you navigate the infinite features of the instrument in a world full of colors. For example, note as in the
main page the Keyboard Set (code-colored green) clearly zooms into the
Keyboard Sounds it is based on:

Protected Resources
Protection keys have to be inserted before loading or using the protected samples [3.0/3.1]
You may have purchased third-party Sounds, coming on a USB memory stick
or a microSD card. This storage device also works as a protection key for the
data.
Loading the protected samples
Before loading the protected data, the protection key has to be connected to
the instrument, or inserted in the dedicated slot.
1 Before loading the protected Samples, or a group of data including protected
Samples, insert the original protection key in one of the USB HOST ports or
the microSD slot.
2 If the protection key is an USB memory stick, leave it inserted for at least 15
seconds. Then, you are free to leave it connected, or remove it.
3 If you have more than a single protection key, insert the other protection keys
one after the other, as seen above. Since Pa4X has two USB HOST ports and a
microSD slot, you can connect three protection keys at the same time.
4 Load the protected data.
If you have started loading without the protection key inserted…
You may have loaded some data, before an error message has warned you
that you are trying to load protected data without the protection key inserted.
In this case, the instrument’s memory may contain incomplete data, that can
prevent the instrument from playing as expected.
If this happens, insert the protection key(s) as seen above, then do a Media
>Load All operation to overwrite all the incomplete data already loaded.
Using the protected samples after loading
If you want to use protected data, the protection key has to be connected
to the instrument, or inserted in the dedicated slot, when turning the instrument on.
|15
When turning the instrument on without a protection key inserted, you are
asked to insert it and touch Retry.
If you forget to insert the protection key when turning the instrument on,
and you want to use protected data, please insert the key and restart the
instrument.
If the protection key is an USB memory stick, leave it inserted for at least 15
seconds after the instrument has completed startup. Then, you are free to
leave it connected, or remove it.
If you don’t have the protection key with you…
In case you don’t have the protection key with you, you will not be able to
choose protected Sounds, Styles, and/or other protected data.
If you are trying to load data at startup, and you don’t have the protection
key with you, just touch Cancel to confirm you want to proceed when the
warning message appears; protected data will not play, but you will be able
to load and use any other data.
While in Sampling mode, protected Samples will be shown dimmed, and cannot be selected for editing. A Prot(ected) flag will appear next to their name
in the Sample Select window. Waveforms will not be seen.
Protected sample
Mixing ordinary and protected data
You can mix ordinary and protected Samples. For example, you can build
Sounds, Multisamples or Drum Kits making use of both internal Samples, and
protected Samples originally contained in one or more protection keys. If the
protection key is missing, only non-protected Samples will play.
Managing protected data
Protected data can be managed as any other data; only, be sure to keep the
original protection key safe.
16|
Protected Samples cannot be exported. When exporting mixed data, a message will warn you that protected Samples will not be exported.
While in Sampling mode, you can delete protected Samples, to make room
for other Samples. In case you want to save the resulting SET folder over the
original SET folder, be sure you have a backup copy of your original protected data.
|17
Sound Sets
Added Solo status icon [3.0]
When a Sound is soloed, the Solo icon ( ) will flash in the mixer channel.
Added User Sounds and Drum Kit locations [3.0]
More User Sound and Drum Kit locations have been added. Now you can
have up to 768 User Sounds and 384 User Drum Kits.
Voice Preset no longer saved with Keyboard Sets and Styles [1.2]
The selected Voice Preset is no longer saved with the Keyboard Sets and
Styles. This means that choosing a different Keyboard Set or Style will no
longer change the Voice Preset.
If you want to save the selected Voice Preset together with the Keyboard
Sets, Styles or Songs, you can create a new SongBook Entry based on them.
Choose the Voice Preset, together with the desired Keyboard Sets, Style or
Song, then keep the SONGBOOK button pressed for about one second to
create a new SongBook Entry.
Master Transpose no longer saved with Keyboard Sets and Styles [1.2]
The Master Transpose value (set with the TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel) is no longer saved with the Keyboard Sets and Styles. This means
that choosing a different Keyboard Set or Style will no longer change the
Master Transpose.
If you want to save the Master Transpose value together with the Keyboard
Sets, Styles or Songs, you can create a new SongBook Entry based on them.
Choose them, then keep the SONGBOOK button pressed for about one second to create a new SongBook Entry.
To let the SongBook Entry change the Master Transpose value when selected, be sure the Master Transpose lock is deselected in the Global > General
Controls > Lock > Tuning page.

|23
Revised Digital Drawbars [3.0]
The Digital Drawbars pages has been revised, to feel more like the classic organ console and being easier to use. The sound quality of the Digital
Drawbars has also been refined to be even more realistic.
As in the previous version, access the Digital Drawbars page by choosing a
DRAWBARS sound from the Organ group.
The Rotary/Percussion page
The Percussion/Rotary page has been renamed as Rotary/Percussion, and
deeply redesigned. The parameters can now be controlled via big switches
and sliders.

now the Second or Third harmonic.
▪ The Length parameter has been renamed as Decay, and its parameters are
now Fast or Slow.
The Tone/Noise page
The Tone/Noise page has the same parameters as in the previous version,
but has been deeply redesigned. The parameters can now be controlled via
big switches and knobs.
24|
The Rotary FX Set page
A new Rotary FX Set page has been added. This page lets you separately
program the rotor and horn’s volume, effects, miking and cabinet simulation.
Please note the individual parameters can only be accessed if one of the
insert effects (IFX) or master effects MFX has the Rotary SpeakerOD effect
assigned. In case there isn’t some or all of the parameters in this page might
not be accessible.
Program the Overdrive parameters
The overdrive simulator recreates the amp distortion, increasing realism.
Overdrive Meaning Value

Style Play
Split Point saved with each Keyboard Set [2.0]
The local split point can be memorized into a Keyboard Set. Each Keyboard
Set associated to a Style or SongBook Entry can have a different split point
(instead of a single one).

The Fill Mode parameters have been added to the Style Play > Style Controls
> Drum/Fill page:
The Fill Mode parameters allow for automatically choosing a Variation at the
end of each Fill, after having pressed one of the FILL or BREAK buttons.
These settings can be saved to the Style Settings or a SongBook Entry, so you
