Went to my local dealer today and he made a decent offer for the PA60.. and after spending an hour with in the shop, i was quite happy to buy it!! Spent a further 4 hours on it after i got it home, and to me this is the i30 with huge knobs on which isnt a bad thing at all! sounds are so much better than i recalled.. styles are either on par or better... im happy anyway!!

Just a couple of very quick questions...

1)Does midi playback display lyrics??? If so, how because i cant seem to initiate it!

2)Is it possible to have the lower end of the keyboard set to have a "full" sound, eg, like on the X1 you can set it to "lower+bass" so that you get like strings + bass ? I can only seem to set it to work with just the strings OR the bass but not both!!!

Thanks for any help..

regarding your question about MIDI yu will have to convert ur MIDI to type O and make it MIDI with Lyrics.A good program to do this is GNMidi available at www.gnmidi.com.
Hope it helps!!Take care

Hi and thanks for the reply.. Is this the same thing as converting kar files to mid?? the songs im using are tune1000 files which surely should not need converting??? but i will try it anyway...

If I remember correctly, the PA80 reads both .kar and .mid files without converting.

Hey Don, any chance of advising how its done! i cant seem to do it...!!!

lol.. it would help if i was in the RIGHT song mode!!! i was using SONG rather than SONG PLAY... it would also help if i read the manual!!!

Danny - You don't have to DO anything. T1000 files play perfectly on the Korg. To access the lyrics ... just push the button next to the word "Lyrics" (it's right in the window somewhere)

Thanks UD, im pretty much up to scratch with the keyboard now... great 2nd board to have! but im still in love with my X1 forever!
