Hello,

I need help with my pa80.

I don't know what am I doing wrong but I am not able to modify a factory style.

I go in a factory style, then go into record, I make a change in some parts volume, and try to write the style.
When I hit the write button, it says me "write to user 01...."
Ok but I don't want to erase a user style, I just want to rewrite the factory style in its same place.
The factory style protect is off.
So I don't know what.
I have to say it is the first time I try to do that.

Thanks in advance.

STAM

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. It seems kinda sill to me too, but, that's how Korg made it.

So, my workaround is... Save all of my user styles to disk to be reloaded at my pleasure ( and back them up on a hard drive ). Then save my newly modified or recorded style to a user slot, then ( with style protection off ), save the new user style to an internal style. Why you have to do these extra steps, I cannot answer, but that's how they set it up.

Thank you AJ,

Now I know it is normal.
I have to say that I am sometimes surprised how the hard drive goes. Its logic is a bit too complicate to me.
I will try and let you know if I have a problem.

AJ,

I have modified a factory style and saved it on a user style.
Now, I am not able to save this user style into a factory.
If I try to save it on !123, then the user 1,2 and 3 are my direct hd styles but all the others (bank 1 to 16) seem to be empty.

Am I wrong?

Can you explain to me which is the procedure

Thank you

STAM

Stam, I don't have an internal hard drive, so I may not be the best to answer this, but I'll try. All I do, is save my new style from the pattern seqeuncer to an internal user style. Then I have to go back into disk function, and save the newly created user style to a floppy disk ( I'm guessing it would work the same way as an internal hard drive ) . Then I can load the new style from the floppy disk into any of the current internal styles. I know, that it seems kinda crazy to have to do all of that, but I see no other shortcuts around it. Hope this helps,

AJ

Than you AJ,

Here you are
To "save" the style on a factory one, you have to use the "load" function on the disk menu, and not the "save" function.
Now it is fine

This is called informational ergonomy

Bravo Korg.....but I love my pa80
