SORRY!, we know the overhead is slightly wonky, we didn't spot this before filming and we can't edit it afterwards as it's all recorded as one file. Hopefully your OCD can handle it and we'll return to normal service for the next video in the series.

Brilliant Adam. You make what to me at, 86 years old, very hard to understand so easy to follow. I can't thank you enough. You are doing a great job that is greatly appreciated. Alex

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thanks for your kind comments! Happy playing!

[@akulm1829]

Your hands on masterclass is absolutely fantastic. The PA5X is actually getting better and better the more I watch your video and I just got half way through. I hope there will be several more!

[@ScanKeyboards]

Glad you like them!

[@moogy77]

So GREAT! MORE PLEASE!! The way you go about talking/explaining things is very comfortable. Since this is a very COMPLICATED instrument. Thank you.

[@ScanKeyboards]

More to come!

Add me to the list of those very thankful for these extremely helpful videos. I've owned a PA5X for several months and - like others - have found it daunting to try to learn key features through Korg's 1,000+ page manual. And most of the KZbin videos I've looked at either glossed over or entirely left out steps - like several that showed you how to customize a keyboard set but then completely failed to even mention how to SAVE it! Your video was the first I've encountered that clearly showed how easy it could be to customize and save such patches. Moreover, after gaining insight and confidence from watching this video, I found it much easier to peruse Korg's User Guide. So THANKS MUCH for this! You've got a loyal new subscriber who anxiously looks forward to more instructional videos!

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thank you for your kind comments! Much more to come...

Hello Adam. Thank you so much for these KORG PA5X tutorials. They are extremely helpful. Far easier than having to read through 1,650 pages in the manual. I have a Genos 2 and prior to that 6 years with Genos 1. The KORG was a secondary purchase particularly for the synth sounds. I sometimes find the manual a bit cumbersome and much prefer learning more about this KORG through your excellent tutorials. 🙏

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thank you lots of Genos videos coming too!

[@davenewbert7413]

Thanks again Adam. Had my Pa5X for a few months but I’m coming from an old technics kn2000 so the learning curve for me is massive. I have to say, your videos have made the useful info stick (for the first time). Please, more pa5x vids like this. I’m learning so much - thank you so much

[@ScanKeyboards]

Glad to help

[@davidcheslik]

Thank You. Loved it all the way

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrGazzauk4]

Many thanks Adam.. Another quality video on pa5x.👌👌👌

[@ScanKeyboards]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rikwhittaker7809]

Great video session on Pa5X, thanks Adam.

[@FransV2010]

Great tutorial! And great to see you again Adam. 😊 Very helpful, keep up the good work! One minor note: you could have explained the feature of the Favorite Keyboard Sets. 😅

[@ScanKeyboards]

Must admit I don't think I've ever used favourites as you can only favourite 11 keyboard sets... Much prefer to create a bank of your favourite Keyboard sets as discussed in the video! But valid point I'll include in the next video...

[@arnietay]

Thanks again Adam. Great video tutorial. Keyboard sets are my main go to. Look forward to your next video with the Korg. Regard Arnie

[@whatnow9159]

Excellent. Thank you very much. All the best

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thanks for watching!

[@alg4633]

Love your videos Adam, Great Job!

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thanks so much!

[@thierryg.3966]

Hello Adam, Thanks for your videos. I'm no novice when it comes to the Korg, but I've learned a few things that will come in very handy.👍

[@ScanKeyboards]

Great to hear!

[@25musicmaker]

Great stuff. I wish you'd made these informative video's a year earlier. 😁 I had to find out all of this myself. The beauty of it is that I now know how to make my own sounds and styles from scratch and load new samples etc.

[@ScanKeyboards]

Great to hear!

[@WilliamBarraclough-l7i]

Excellent as always.

[@ScanKeyboards]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ahmedal-soufi6564]

Hello, Is it possible to add oriental sounds and styles to Korg pa5x 88 keys? Thanks,

[@ScanKeyboards]

If you can find a pack that someone has made for purchase for the Pa5X. Try Globalsound...

[@ahmedal-soufi6564]

Thank you very much!

[@orangeman1131]

Thank you. This was really inspirational. It gave it a lot of great ideas!

[@ScanKeyboards]

So glad!

[@idemditto]

Again a great video. Thank you! Can you do a masterclass about samples en multisamples? And maybe introduction to sounddesign or style design?

[@saman3118]

thanks🙏

[@ScanKeyboards]

You’re welcome 😊

[@marcThysebaert]

Thanks again Adam. PS why was there no undertitle here

[@edikart4338]

Hi, thank you for your helpful video. How to add tremolo on cello sound on pa5x?! I mean using pitch band or those 3 assignable buttons. Thank you 🙏

[@sonegmusic]

Thanks 👍👍

[@ScanKeyboards]

No problem 👍

[@tmog3836]

Hi Adam thanks for a great video. I've recently purchased the Pa5X as replacement for my Genos as it offers so much more for a musician because of the features on board. I've been a gigging musician for many years using primarily Roland gear which has never let me down. I'm used to synthesisers 9:55 with multiple knobs and sliders to twiddle so the Korg Pa5X is comfortable territory for me. I look forward to seeing more instructional videos from you featuring this keyboard. While I'm still browsing the manual could you give me a heads up on if there is a way to select a Drum Kit for direct play via the keyboard similar to the Genos. I can select it via the edit feature but it would be nice to have a Tab within the instrument groups. I use the Pa5X together with logic pro and sometimes want to add additional drum parts on a track. If i have missed this feature somewhere i apologise. Also I don't see any reviews from anyone demonstrating the Ribbon Controller which is super useful and effective. Many thanks. Trevor

[@ScanKeyboards]

Yes you can select drums through the 'keys' section of the Pa5x not through Keyboard sets

[@tmog3836]

Clearly my Brain wasn't engaged. I was on the MAIN tab. I have a lot to learn on this fantastic keyboard. Keep the tutorials coming. Many thanks. Trevor

[@amk-channel1]

can you lead us to places that we can download/purchase sets or additional sound&styles, please?

[@ScanKeyboards]

Some free ones on korg.co.uk also check out keyboardworld.co.uk

[@WoodyPianoShack]

keyboard sets are a brilliant feature unique to the korg arranger, but nothing new in the synth workstation world where we would call them combis or performances I suppose. thanks for another splendid video.

[@123musicspar7]

Thank you so much for these amazing g videos ❤!!! They are so helpful. I have one question; I often make keyboard sets and set the volume to 127 max but when performing live I notice that the keyboard sets volume is a lot lower than the style even when setting the volumes to maximum. How can I solve. This issue? Again thanks 🙏

[@ScanKeyboards]

Try adjusting the touch of the keyboard to a lower setting. It might just be you have a lighter touch.

[@sanamusic]

Hi Adam are you aware of the time signature issues in a style when having multiple time signatures in the same style there’s issues with fills and var not resetting to the first count check it out let me know

[@ScanKeyboards]

Not one of come across.. is this with factory style or an imported style?

[@Tony69261]

ciao ho provato a creare un sound Keyboard Set ma quando provo a regolare il volume (main volume) di Upper 1 si sposta anche quello di Upper 2 e 3, in pratica non posso regolare il main volume singolarmente come mai?

[@ScanKeyboards]

Have you tried adjusting in the mixer?

[@Tony69261]

@@ScanKeyboards si confermo, ma ripeto quando regolo il volume di Upper 1 gli altri due upper 2 e 3 reagiscono anche loro. Forse è un Bug del OS?
