[quote=DonM]I love the PA4X. Operating system has improved a lot, even over the Pa3X. You can now play styles from USB via a system called disk direct.
I've been able to find every style I need. There are tons of them out there, in addition to the ones on board and that Korg lets you download for free. Plus the 4x has a built-in midi-to-style converter that works well, if the original midi file was done right to start with.

Hi Don,
Ok , now I'm starting to wish I hadn't gotten involved in this discussion.
Not that it ever bothered me personally that one couldn't play styles directly from USB , it still sounds like a great addition.

What really has me intrigued, what is the midi to style "converter", ie is there MORE to it, than the midi to style function on the pa3x???

I've deliberately been avoiding reading up on the pa4x. Poor hubby, maybe. Hahau
