I just downloaded from www.korpa.com the newest release for the PA1X and PA1XPRO. This new system along with new factory resources should make many of you quite happy.
Highlights of the new system are:

New Hit and Sequence Pads. You can now get loops and grooves like the Yamaha pads can do. Korg gives you dozens of different preset sequences to get up and running. The Guitar strums and picking styles are stunning!

Beat counter in Song Play and Sequencer mode

Quarter Tone and Track Scale Assign are transmitted via MIDI for song tracks

Notes play when selected in Event Edit

Edit of Velocity values by means of curves and envelopes

In style play mode Bass Inversions and Memory functions can be controlled by means of Velocity

Variation/STS Link Parameter

Direct writing of Styles into Direct HD banks

In songbook mode, second book edit pages and Synchro Start/Stop and memory status saved with the entries

Sampling has added Crossfade Loop function and Export of AIFF/WAV files

In song play mode pause command is assignable to the pedal/switches

Style Tracks Play/Mute Lock added and Style Performance Master Transpose Lock added

Voice Processor momentary swith controls added

Auto Talk Function added

Seperate Chord Recognition added for the voice processor. You can play style chords on the left hand and trigger vocal harmony chords with the right hand

Data CD Writing added

Improvements include:
Improved GM messages compatability
Improved STS Name Panel
Pressing Stop no longer resets modified parameters in Sequencer
Delete Unassigned Samples no longer deletes samples assigned to Drum Kits
In event edit the dial now works faster

There are other features in 2.0 but I don't have time to write all of them.
