Rikki so your saying like Yamaha plug in the USB stick.....find the drive on the Pa4x and open the files to play the styles without having to load them into slots...listen and decide to keep or move on right from the usb stick? [/quote]


Hi Donny,
Basically just say I have a set of korg styles on my USB stick.

I go to the ' User Direct " button
I tap "Direct" icon
I go to drop down menu , choose Direct Preferences
All the .set folders I have on USB stick , show up ( I have my .sets saved individually on my USB stick ie as Latin, jazz etc)
I choose one, press select, and the styles show up.
I can the go thru them , audition them( nothing has been loaded in pa4x, you're working off your stick.

I then have the option of either

Copy and pasting the styles I want to keep to "user " ( This function copies style into pa4x)

Or
another location in one of the "directs" folders.( this copies it to another spot on your USB stick)

The Copy and Paste is so simple. ( so is Delete) it's there right in front of you from a drop down menu.
You don't go running off to Media to do this . It was such a pain in the neck on the pa3x ,


Another option in direct mode
If it's a totally useless style I can just simply delete the ones I'm never , ever, going to use.
Remember, once deleted, gone forever because it's deleting it directly from your USB stick.

Actually it's a brilliant system.



P.s

Didn't realise just how good till I started experimenting with it to find out why a few of my old folders weren't showing. It was me at fault , not the korg.
