Paul Carman has created a new Software Pack for the Korg Pa5x.
He has reengineered some of the internal styles and added multi-pads to create 12 new Songbook entries.

Here is a preview of the 12 Movie Themes:

A Whole New World

A Spoonful of Sugar

Hushabye Mountain

Theme from the Big Country

The Theme from Exodus

Pure Imagination

Speak Softly Love

Moon River

Once Upon a Time in the West

On Days Like These

Dances with Wolves

This software pack can be downloaded for 39 GBP.

The Korg Pa5x lacks the plethora of Song Styles found in the Genos 2.

This new software pack from Paul shows how that gap can be bridged with a little bit of clever programming to yield remarkable results.

The 12 demos sounded very pleasing capturing the essence of the original movie tracks.

The OS Update from Korg has been delayed once again. Now we are looking at a Nov/Dec time frame. However, that is not a hard deadline. The Korg programmers are working feverishly in Italy to bring you an OS Update that will address all the user issues.

It will be worth the wait.

Wherever you've got this information, Thanks for the update Tapas!
I've not wathed the video yet, so maybe it's Paul that mention it?
Anyway, as you say, I'm sure it's worth the wait too and good news is worth mention at other forums as well. 👍🌞

Feverishly? I’m afraid the fever killed off Korg’s reputation!

Korg have rolled out several major software updates to the Kronos since the last PA5x’s update. PA5x owners have had their arranger for over THREE YEARS and are still waiting on basic PA4x functionality to arrive. It is utterly obvious Korg have the resources but not the will.

Korg are letting it die on the vine. Is there anyone that’s going to be dumb enough to rush out and buy the NEXT Korg arranger after this fiasco? Or even THIS arranger given this level of software neglect?

At least Roland didn’t inflict a $4500 unfinished half working arranger on their customers before they bailed on arrangers for good…

My sympathy goes out to any working pro that got sucked into buying the PA5x with the assumption that it would be an improvement over the 4! Quite honestly, this is the biggest FU I’ve seen from a major manufacturer since…well, I can’t honestly remember as big an FU from a keyboard manufacturer before!

How can this NOT be the end of Korg arrangers?
