Groove import for Audio-slices

The new import feature for sliced grooves allows users to create more slices than ever before. Each groove will be saved in .mid-format to import it later while creating a new Style or Pad or while modifying an existing one. With the new OS you can also decide to save the groove as a Sound or as a Drumkit to let the user assign sliced Drum samples to Drum families.

  •

Chord-track implementation

The newly implemented chord-track can be shown and edited in the Event-Edit page of Style-Edit environment. All chord-sensitive tracks in Intros and Endings will follow this chord-line.

Full Pad edit-section including import/export.

Legacy Pa4X SongBook conversion and further improvements

Most of the user-data musicians prepare for the musical performance is saved in the SongBook (and Set-List) as the center of musical content management. Convert your personal Pa4X SongBook data for the Pa5X. Everything (Styles, Midi- and MP3-files, txt-data etc.) is converted and reconnected.

The new and optimized conversion-report txt-file (found after conversion in the created KST-folder) shows which Styles and Songs may no longer be present. SongBook entries which do not find the correct resources will be marked using a “#”-prefix to help identify and rework them easily after the conversion.

New conversion-report file

AddOn implementation - using new microSD-card protection

The new micro SD-card protection system for localized resources offers a new level of security. Countries using localized microSD-cards for regionally developed data are now able to offer a dedicated package especially for the Pa5X. The new Pa5X data can use all the great new Pa5X features.

(Note: Both the data and microSD card from the Pa4X cannot be imported into the Pa5X. Customers wishing to transfer data from a Pa4X encrypted SET-file need to contact their local KORG distributor for further information.)
