Hi every one,
As I remember PA80 had a flash memory reader to read sampled sounds and some other stuff; I don't remember exactly. On PA1 X/XPro/Elite there is nothing on the back of instrument to put in any flash cards.
How you save/load sampled sounds to/from for PA1 X/XPro/Elite?
A very kind person answered me "On RAM" in "korgforums" website. But on PA80 we could also do it on RAM as well. Is this a weak point of new PA series? Or, the flash cards are useless these days?

the flash cards are useless these days.....
On the PA1XPROElite and the PA800, there is internal sample ram memory to save and load sets. On the now discontinued PA80, there was no sample memory and therefore an 8MB flash card was necessary to do any sampling or to play new samples. Customers who have been purchasing the newer models can either purchase sets from many sources of 8MB, 16MB, 32MB or now even 64MB(PA800) and load them either from a computer, an internal hard drive or a USB drive (PA800). I have also sent older sets made for the PA80 card to Korg Italy and they have converted these to be used in the PA1X and PA800. The data from the card is transfered to floppy disks within the PA80 and then I email this data to Italy where there computer program converts this data.
I hope this helps
