Altough the more open system of the pa4x also has its dangers, earlier this week i was creating a new playlist... and suddenly, i had lost all my playlists as well as my songbook... gone, wiped for ever...

Hi Bacchus,
did you accidentally press yes to a question?

ie I accidentally pressed yes to a user style deletion, meant to delete a single style , it started to delete the whole bank. Senior moment. Wasn't thinking about what I was doing.

Or did the korg just have a glitch and wipe your list? That's more of a worry if not user error.

Hi Bachus,
You've got to try and remember to back your stuff up, especially if you're doing something major. I do a "save all" to my hard drive , plus both my USB sticks.
If I'm only working on user styles, I just do a save of the styles.
But end of day, if I have made changes, I do a Save All.

If you do goof up and press a wrong button at the wrong time, from a save all, you can load individual items back in or you can load all your user stuff back in.

Also do Back Up. Different to Save All. Worth studying manual on differences om what gets saved.

This is an excellent video that goes from very elementary to pretty complex. It shows many of the features and capabilities.

I know i need to make backups.. I am an IT pro after all (blushes)

But since i only play at home, there is no real harm done in loosing my files, it gives me a chance that after 3 months of learning the instrument, doing things the right way this time.

Hi Rikki, me too, I did the same thing – careless eh?
When I got my Pa800 and I asked for help you wrote, “I back my keyboard every time I change something’, You taught me good. (smile)
Hope all is going well for you Rikki.

PS, I am quoting Don here, but the Pa4x satisfies my every need. This is the most satisfied I have ever been with a keyboard, including the Kn7000.
