Good news, thanks for posting.

Do remember to perform a Save All prior to installing this or any update.

Whilst I have downloaded 1.4 but for me I will wait a while before updating my own 5X.

Looks to be some very useful additions, MIDI to Style being pretty useful as is the updates to the already very good Recording features.

I dont believe this happend to me , Lost all my settings ( back up failed , dont read the usb stick) and with the Style bot the whole P5 did a reset of his own . Not happy so far

Copy your KST folder in your computer , format USB drive in Pa5X slot and copy back
saved KST folder in formatted USB drive.

Hi, looks pretty impressive so far. Love the new editing suite.

Happy again , could load my Back up again and it worked , The Midi to style bot works also nice , and after editing you can make some nice new custom styles , There is one thing i realy mis on the pa and that is a slider function to control the reverb real time , i can now control it realtime from my Genos 2 ( a lot Midi commands are the same) , wish it works on the Pa 5 direct ?

a slider function to control the reverb real time...

Yep ... you can assign a slider or a button to a CC# midi function.
For instance CC12 , go to "Settings /menu/controllers/Slider Buttons" , and assign slider or button 9 at "FX CC12 Ctrl".
Then go to any effect you like that is enabled , edit it and at Src: box select MIDI(CC#12) , Wet/Dry at 50:50 and Amt:50
Done
Initially effect is set to 50% and slider or button 9 can add or subtract 50%

Hope this helps

It helps indeed , but how to keep it working with all settings ?

What setting do you mean ?
This is a custom function , if you want to be applied to any Reverb FX , you have to copy
this modified Reverb FX to any Style/KBD Set you want this function to be applied.

Antony -
Does this ability to assign CC midi functions to one of the PA5X's sliders work for external instruments as well (e.g. controlling a plug-in)? I ask because I've read in past that the PA5X's surface controls can't be employed that way and that you'd have to add a separate midi controller (like a Korg NanoKontrol).

 

[Antony Sharmman]

Every program change is transmitted if midi setup is set properly , when for instance Slider 9 varies
MIDI(CC#12) value this is also transmitted externally !
I was used to remote control in the past Kronos via Pa4X in specific sound slots I had programmed.

 

[sjmarano]

This is great to know, Antony, Thank you very much! Frankly I should have figured this out for myself by checking the manual rather than relying on comments made by others that it wasn't possible.
