Hi George

I have a question that you are the ideal person to answer for me, if you will.

My current keyboard is a Roland VA-76. I bought it solely because of it's ability to set up a patch (performance, arrangement, call it what you will) enabling you to have fully configured, split, two-handed live parts to play over a specific midi file, then store these settings TOGETHER WITH A LINK TO THE RELEVANT MIDI FILE under a user panel preset.

The point being that, when the particular user panel preset is recalled, you get the right midifile together with all the settings you chose for the live parts you wanted to play over it. It is then possible to set up a complete playlist for the nights gig with all the right files and all the right live settings instantly available.

My question is, can the Korg PA-1X be persuaded to do something similar without a lot of compromises or hassle? If so, how is it done?

Reason for asking is that I only chose the Roland for this one specific must-have feature. I never liked it much otherwise & want to get rid of it as soon as I can find a better alternative that still has this same ability.

I much prefer Korgs sounds, styles, and general musicality to any Roland I have heard (including the G-70). It's only this one issue that is keeping me with the VA-76.

Any advice on hoe the PA-1x handles this specific point (or doesn't, as the case may be) would be appreciated.
