Hello, everyone!
After six days of almost no rest or sleep, we’re super excited to finally share the first video showcasing all the amazing improvements and updates coming in Version V.1.4.0 for the Korg Pa5X! 🎉
We’ve tried to capture as much information as possible about this update, and there’s even more to come. Stay tuned to our channels, and don’t forget to subscribe, follow, and like so you don’t miss out on any of the exciting details.
It’s been such an honor to have the incredible Korg team supporting us throughout this process. They welcomed us with open arms, gave us their time and attention, and shared their insights. On behalf of myself and the Global Sound Sweden team, a HUGE thank you goes to:
John (The Legend, Head Manager)
Dirk Lindemann Product Manager
Enrico, Luciano Minetti, Roberto, and many more who made this possible.
About Version V.1.4.0
Now, let’s talk about the update itself!
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Quick Record: This isn’t just a basic recording feature, it’s powerful and very easy to use for Anyone! Quickly capture your ideas, edit them like a pro, and export them to your favorite DAW (Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, or others). You can then import them back into the Pa5X workstation. Think of it as having a DAW on your keyboard, with features like a timeline, color markers, and much more, like the Garageband from Apple.
Alphabetical Order: It’s not just improved; it’s better in every way. You can now replace, overdub, delete, copy basically do anything you need, and it’s easier than ever.
Song Creator: Creating songs has never been easier. Import/export songs, edit, cut, glue, paste, overdub, and quantize (with even more quantize options now, more humanized). You can also pan and add lyrics, rewriting them directly on the Pa5X!
Style Creator Booth: Yes, it’s finally here! The Style Creator makes it super simple to convert MIDI files into styles. It’s so fast—Dirk joked there’s no time for a coffee break because it only takes 10 seconds to complete. Once converted, you can refine it with sounds, drum kits, FX, EQ, panning—you name it! The better the MIDI file, the better the result.

Clean System = Happy System!
Many bugs have been fixed, but remember: this keyboard works best with clean, high-quality files. Avoid downloading random files from the internet, they can cause issues. Keep your system clean for the best experience, learn to sort out files that you know can make your PA5X unhappy.
There are also several other improvements, and will be much more in the future updates, like RX enhancements, a better UI, and overall performance boosts. For all the details, check out the video!

It’s been a tough but rewarding process, and we hope this update makes you as excited as we are about the Pa5X. Since we’re all part of one big Korg family, we’re thrilled to share this with you.
It took us 8 days to put all this together, so if you could spare 8 seconds to subscribe and like our video, we’d be forever grateful! 💖
Thank you all for your support, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Best regard from me and the Global Sound Sweden team.

Hi Taike,

This is brilliant!

I enjoyed watching the 19 minute video elaborating all the wonderful new features in the OS 1.4 Beta update to the Korg Pa5X.

Thanks for capturing this demo by Dirk Lindemann at NAMM. I have subscribed to the GlobalSoundSweden YouTube channel.

I had one quick question.

The Korg Pa5x has a fully weighted hammer action keybed with Channel Aftertouch.

How does the Responsive Hammer Action (RH-3) keybed on the KRONOS 3 compare to the Pa5x?

Does the RH-3 keybed that is made in Japan have a better action?

Is the RH-3 keybed more suited for pianists?


Best regards,

David

So, no mention anywhere about a Pa-1000 replacement?

I was sure we'll see it this NAMM, but it looks like Korg is not terribly interested in keeping the MOTL arrangers up to date...

Any ideas?
