Did you try hooking to the PC? You can use a to host cable. Hold Playlist button down while powering on, and that will put it in storage mode. Then you can see everything from the PC. If you can see the User drive, then at least the information is still there.
Don, I wasn’t ignoring you. I started checking over things on my Pa4x I got carried away playing and doing a few tweaks, that’s the baby that will be coming with me to the gig.
Meanwhile a few minutes ago I hooked it up to my PC, although it shows the drive as being there it is empty and it wasn’t empty I had files stored there they should be there. That seems to say the built in drive on the Genos is gone. I’ve got that user drive backed up on 2 other USB drives just in case something like this happened.

Thanks for the support Tony. I had recently considered selling the Pa4x but I thought it’s too nice a board to sell..............now I know I made the right choice.

That's not quite the same as an SSD, but it is still solid state storage and subject to the same type of catastrophic failure.
Looks like the PA4X is probably your best bet, Steve. Wishing you all the best - whatever you do ! ! !
Tnicoson Thanks for the information on the MMC good information. Yup the Pa4x is the best bet.

Steve can you play off the USB drive on genos?
Donny, No inserting a USB into the Genos I still get the same results, when I hit the user function on the touch screen it just blinks and remains in the preset section. It does this for styles, voices and registrations.

HA!!!!!!!
I thought the drive is showing when hooked to a PC but it did not show any contents. I figured I’m screwed anyway and the Genos may have to have factory service so I went to the utility screen/storage and chose to format the USER drive and like magic when I rebooted the Genos I’m now able to get the the USER drive and to the USB drives where I have files/registrations/playlists backed up. I was never a gambling man, so I’m not going to gamble with the Genos on the gig tomorrow. PA4x is in place and ready to do the job.

Wow Steve - just got off the road and read this. Yikes - glad to hear you and the group here got to the bottom of the issue! Have a great gig tomorrow with the Korg and keep us posted on your findings as you go forward.
