If you want to use the voices on the BK7m, then I recommend using a second midi keyboard with the PA. I have a PA 5x (and had a 4x in the past), and from my understanding if you wish to use the BK7m voices you need to make a dummy voice on the PA that sends the correct midi signal for Upper 1/2 and that does not play the "local" voice on the PA.
Hi Mike,
I hope I am finding you well.
Along with a BK9, I have also acquired a BK7m as well. I have connected it to one of my Korgs (I have many including the Pa5x) but for the moment I am using a Pa600. How do I create this dummy voice you mentioned so that I can just use and hear the sounds of the Module only?
Thank you very much for any help you can give on this.
All the best,
Danny
Hi Danny,
Sorry for the delay- I’ve been getting caught up in all the Genos 2 chatter-lol.
I had a bk9- what a great keyboard! Regarding creating a dummy voice on the Korg, check out the video on this link “Using the Korg Pa5X as a midi controller by Jon Micheal:
https://youtu.be/WPmjXIPxP2w?si=6Gf-I7K1Ro6Pk-xj It was in this video where I first heard an explanation how to do this. I figure it should be the same process for your pa600 too.
I hope this helps! By the way, I find it interesting that many of the voices on this module are still quite good. In fact I have a Fantom and still haven’t found a Rhodes piano with the bell sound quality as the one on this module. (But with 6000 voices on the Fantom maybe I just haven’t located it yet-lol!).
