AJ,

I just downloaded the X1 5.0Oriental OS. Is there a list of changes made in this new OS compared to the 4.0 one anywhere?

I have gigs this weekend and I did not want to load the new OS and get all confused if fucntion buttons changed.

Thanks

Rel. 5.0a

1) MONO function added to the user voice.
2) FIXED function added for the pedal board key velocity ( Arranger view F4),
saved in the power on setup
3) Changing from bank 3 to bank 0 or 1 the RAM led switch off
4) When LOCK is set , the Vocal Channel is reserved for the vocalist and saved
in the power on setup
5) Global Transpose in the midi RX

AJ,

Thanks for the 5.0 update for the X series...however, I'm not sure as to why I need any of the changes that are included... and I don't believe that any of the changes that were implemented were request by any of the X series users.

Below is the list of requests that were made back in 2/2003. Are any of them part of the new 5.0? There were additional request that I'm sure can be found if you do a simple search on SynthZone.

I have a request for a new function to be implemented in X1.
Excuse me for my bad english, but i'm italian!
I have 3 flash card with 3 soundbanks,but i can use only a card a time. If i will use 2 soundbanks i need to load the first via floppy disk in the ram memory and then insert the flash card with the second.
It's possible to load the first soundbanks from the flash card to the ram, and then remove the flash card and insert another card? In this case i have 2 soundbanks, but i load the first from the card and i think that this metod is very very faster.
Another idea is to load and save the msp into the flashcard!

Another usefull thing would be :
Setting of the loop-points with the numeric buttons.

Yes, the possibility to load MSP in the Flascard would be very usefull to me too.

AJ, is it possibel to implement these suggestions in the next update ?

Thanks very much.

The biggest dissatisfaction I have with my X1 is the lack of ability to play styles directly from floppy disk. I have the hard drive in my X1 and also the expanded pattern ram. But those are different issues. Yes, they are nice to have but they do not do what I need in terms of organization and quick access. I don't know if it is even possible but I really need the ability to read and play styles DIRECT FROM THE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE.

I would like to see the "Sync Start" button turn off automatically after a style starts (similar to the Korg i series implementation).

I sometimes wonder who really came up with these upgrades.

Ketron users are quite used to being ignored but I would be interested in hearing AJ's comments.
