Rikki, Try a style that has much different sounds on each OTS. Hold down say a G chord in RH...start the style, use Var A, then B, Then C, then D the sound changes as soon as you activate the new OTS. SO, If you want to hold a note that has a Tie in the music from one measure to the next..you can't as the OTS will change when you change Variation. IF you try to hold the note bad things happen...abrupt off/on of the sounds in RH.
However if you do not use OTS link, Hit the new VAR at the measure change.... and you hit the new OTS when you take your hands up (anytime you want), then play the next note its OK.

Hi Lee, How about switching OTS manually for those song where you need to hold RH. That means turning off the OTS link. It takes only a second and might be an acceptable work around. Eric

Yes, I see that that can work...I tested it here and then you have control on when it switches to the new OTS...instead of having the style element change do it. Looks like you do have to be careful that the sound has stopped completely before hitting the OTS button (1-4). Using Registrations I think will also work...but I have to play with that a little to be sure. It's been a long time since I had the PA2XPRO, was the issue the same with Korg (Pa4X, now)?

Or this can be a positive, which I think it is. I’ve heard complaints about pressing the Vari with OTS on and have the note change to late, or to soon, I am not sure which.
If I am playing run, a music thought, I would want the instrument on even though I went up to the next Vari.
That is if I understood the problem correctly. John C.

The issue is that if you use OTS link, when you change the Variation (A-D) the RH sounds change immediately and if you are HOLDING RH notes during that...oops it messes up your performance. (That is assuming the RH voice you are playing DOES change with the OTS) IF you do not use OTS link OR if you use registrations THEN you have full control as to when the sounds in the RH change. Then they change when you press the OTS or the Reg.
