Korg have been working hard again to bring us version OS 1.2.1, making the PA4X even better Bug fixes Where Keyboard Sounds When the Upper Volume Link parameter was selected, the proportional volume change of the Upper Sounds didn’t always behave correctly. Style Play Fill Mode settings where not saved in the Style Settings and SongBook Entries. When the Fill Mode Lock was selected, depending on the status of other Locks the system could freeze when choosing a Style. Song Play After having selected a Song by entering its ID number, the Select button in the Song Select window could no longer be accessed, and no Song could be selected. SongBook Depending on the selected Columns preferences, some information where not shown correctly, or some parameters could blink. Sampling When loading samples that had been compressed in Pa3X, then decompressed in Pa4X v1.1.3, the samples could play wrongly under Pa4X v1.2.0 if loaded under some circumstances (loading separate Sounds, or only the SOUND folder). Please note that samples saved again with Pa4X v1.1.3 or v1.2.0 were not damaged, and could play correctly after recompressing them; no data could be lost. Effects for Sounds When choosing a Style with an Acc track type set to Drum, the Send 2 FX level could appear as set to zero, but a Delay effect could still be heard. MIDI After booting, the Clock Send parameter could appear selected, but no clock message was actually sent. Download the new OS Korg PA4X v1.2.1 now

From the 1st of June until the 31st of October 2016 you will receive a free iPad mini with purchase of a Roland LX-7 Digital Piano. Roland LX-7 finishes available: Roland LX7 in Brown Walnut Roland LX7 in Polished Ebony Roland LX7 in Contemporary Black Roland’s new Bluetooth-equipped HP and LX pianos will change the way you practise, perform and compose. Meet the three game-changing features… You’ve heard of Bluetooth: the technology that allows short-distance wireless data exchange without a spaghetti junction. You’ve probably already used it for hands-free calls or on your wireless keyboard. But what you might not realise is how Bluetooth could change the way you play piano – because there’s never been a digital model on the market to feature this tech. Until now. Choose a digital piano from Roland’s latest Bluetooth-equipped HP or LX range and you’re all set to wirelessly connect with your mobile device (phone or tablet). Whether you want to access sheet-music and tutorial apps for iOS/Android, record your own original music using DAW or accompany your favourite song as it streams through the piano speakers, Bluetooth is the wireless, mic-less, painless solution. You don’t need your nose in a manual to get started, either. Here are the three basic Bluetooth modes, all accessed in seconds via your HP or LX piano’s function menu. Stream tunes and tutorials with Bluetooth Audio When you’re using an app or watching an online video tutorial, it can be hard to get inspired by the tinny audio from your tablet or smartphone’s weeny speaker. Bluetooth Audio lets you stream audio from your mobile device through the piano speakers – whether that’s a song you’re learning for tonight’s gig or an online tutorial – and enjoy a far more dynamic sound. Hassle-free recording with Bluetooth MIDI Maybe you’re looking for a way to get your own tunes recorded without the hassle of mic’ing and wires. That’s where Bluetooth MIDI comes in, effectively turning your Roland piano into a wireless MIDI controller as it interfaces with your mobile device’s DAW software apps. Whether you want to compose original tunes using GarageBand or dream up a signature piano sound with Roland’s Piano Designer, the process has never been smoother. Painless practice with Bluetooth PageTurn In 2016, apps are changing the way that pianists practise, and when you’re learning a new piece, Bluetooth PageTurn gives you a helping hand. Choose an app that displays sheet music – like piaScore – then simply pop your mobile device onto the piano’s music stand and press the centre pedal to turn the pages on the screen. PageTurn can also be used when you’re receiving MIDI info from an app: just select the PageTurn and MIDI mode.
