Got my PA4x76 8 years ago. Upgraded to OS 3.1.0 about 8 months ago and installed new battery. I've noticed that when I change any upper or lower voice and save it in the songbook, the screen displays the wrong name (in same instrument family), but when I touch the name to verify, it displays the intended saved voice. The correct sound, but the wrong name. The lower accompaniment voices are not affected by this glitch. I have not edited the songbook on a PC, only on the keyboard

Any suggestions?

Duane

Only thing I can think of to try is get on the Korgforums PA4X forum, and ask other users who did the same upgrade if they had the same problem and know of a solution. A lot may depend on how you did your backing up before you did the upgrade, and how you restored your custom data.

Did you restore the keyboard to full factory resources first and THEN install your user data? Or did you simply install your data after you did the upgrade?

It has been quite a while since this update came out, I would think that most of the quirks of installation have been discovered and workarounds found for them. As long as you were conscientious in backing up properly before the update, I would hope you can get things back to the way they were.

Best of luck!

just noticed another problem. I edited a style and added a CV2 bass line, with CV1 assigned to a major chord and CV2 assigned to a minor cord. When I exited record and loaded the style into play mode, the patterns were reversed, with CV1 responding to a minor chord, and CV2 responding to a major chord. Went back into style edit, reversed CV1 and CV2, and it plays correctly.

Hopefully a reset will correct this.

Yes, it rather looks like it might be best to not work on any new styles or registrations until you have sorted out the update problems and done a correct restore to your user data. If something is wrong with the install at the moment, it will probably carry on over into any extra stuff you create now.

If you don’t deal with the operating system install and user data restore problem first, I think you are setting yourself up for having to redo a lot of stuff…

I miss those good old days when the only worry was the possibility that my Wurlitzer might break a reed. Times were simpler then.

Try tuning and scaling every individual oscillator card in a Yamaha CS 80! It used to take me all day to get that beast in tune, and the first time you moved it you had to do it all over again! Or try moving a B3 from the van to the gig!

I will take the modern inconveniences over the old ones any day lol
