Diki,

Korg has actually tried their best to solve the problem you describe. When you load a sample from a flash drive or a hard disk a copy is saved in a hidden flash area inside the Pa800. The samples in this area are automatically loaded into sample ram when you turn on the keyboard (this function is called "PCM Autoload"). It takes a little longer to turn on the Pa800 when PCM Autload is activated depending on the amount of samples. I have not made excact measurements but it is around 10-20 seconds.

This means that there is absolutely no load time when using your own samples and sound programs. They work exactly as the factory sounds. And of course you can use the samples in your styles and these styles will also load without any delay.

The only downside is that you must be able to fit all your samples into 64 mb.

Kind regards,
Tommy
