AJ sent me a copy of the new OS4.0. It took about 30 minutes to install. It sounded like an entirely new keyboard, but the bad news is it froze up after about 30 minutes. I rebooted it and then it starting smoking, so I pulled the plug, but it burst into flames anyway.
I poured a pitcher of water on it and finally got the fire stopped. It melted the keys a little, but I dried everything out with a hair dryer and plugged it back in, and it started playing again!
I guess you could say it was one HOT new operating system.
I'll try it again in the morning.

Mine is even worse, the keys are gone, all melted. I'm now installing those accordion buttons instead, Ketron told me they could take more heat. They really did a great job with this OS4. the Audya 5 has keys made of stainless steel, no rust after using water.
Happy Easter

My new Audya with OSv5.0 runs Linux, and I have an emulation of the MS running on it right now...

Let me guess. James is demo'ing it on Youtube and Dom is suing Ketron for unauthorized use of copyrighted styles.

Just got my new OS for my PA2XPRO! WOW, what great support!

When I opened the UPS box, a programmer from Korg Italy popped out, installed the new OS and gave me a hot demo.

I'm on my way back to UPS now...to send him back home!

He said he would return with another great OS update soon!
