Fingers cross that the update is fully debugged.

I’ll wait for others to Beta test before I install it.

It is good that the MIDI to Style bot is returning, it was standard in other Pa models.

Full Song Edit Suite? That is intriguing, I wonder if it is PC based on in the Keyboard OS?

This might excite Pa5X owners but the 1998 Ensoniq ZR-76 which I used to own did this automatically.

Does v1.4.0 have "overdub step recording" in style creator?

I think we have to wait and see what Korgs final info about the update says before we get to know it all..
Taike posted some more about it in a thread at SZ Gen Arr Forum .

Anthony wrote some words about it at YM Korg part.

I hope they will delimit the user sound banks and User DK Banks. Tired of loading sets after sets and merging works on the PA Manager v5. It‘s insane, when you want ro play several styles and need to pause everything then load the next one.

Pa5X OS v1.4 is coming!
Following our preview at NAMM earlier this year, we’re excited to confirm that the wait is almost over: Pa5X OS version 1.4 will be released very soon.

This is a major update, with OS1.4 including all the features previewed at NAMM, alongside additional enhancements inspired by feedback from Pa5X players across the globe.

We’ll announce the full details soon, but here are the highlights you can look forward to in OS v1.4:

● Recording Studio - a powerful new environment for backing-track creation (formerly Quick Record)
● Full Song Edit - deep MIDI song editing with hands-on control
● Style Creator Bot - convert MIDI files into brand-new Styles
● User resource sorting & icon selection - organise your setup your way
● Copy & swap Keyboard Sets - faster editing across Styles and SongBook entries
● De-Esser - new vocal tools in the microphone section

OS v1.4 is almost here, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands. We’ll be announcing the exact release date soon - stay tuned.

That is good to read.

Once released I will download it but wait a while before installing.

I’ll let other owners be the Extended Beta testers.

REMINDER, before you install any Korg Update do create a “SaveAll” file.
I do this twice, saving it to each of the two temporary storage devices I have attached to my Pa5X.
