I like Adam's PA5X masterclass series. I am considering changing from an SX900 to a PA5X and it is good to know that there are these support videos to help understand the keyboard.

Great vid Adam. Just got my PA5X 88 and up to now it’s been a bit overwhelming - especially since my last keyboard was a Technics KN2000!! How things have changed!! you certainly make it seem less scary, and I’m grateful for the work you put in to making these classes. Thanks so much, Dave

Hello Adam, thanks for this recall about the power of the songbook ! great demonstration ! Bernard from France !

[@ScanKeyboards]

My pleasure!

[@arnietay]

Thanks Adam. Another brilliant tutorial. Learned more than i understood re Songbook, Set list which i was just doing the basic. The audio side of it intrigues me so will watch out for other videos. Just keep them coming in your easy to understand way. Cheers Arnie

[@ScanKeyboards]

Great to hear!

[@ksxx1961]

Thanks for this Adam. Never realised I could link my Sheet Music! Huge advantage, as I can't play by ear much. 😊

[@RoccoKeys]

Hi Adam, really am enjoying your videos. I'm getting better acquainted with my Pa5X more and more. I think you may have covered it but my understanding is that a Songbook entry only applies to a single player. So if I recall a songbook entry as in your example, I have to load one entry from the songbook for player one and load in a second songbook entry for player 2 if I wanted to use the fader feature. It would be nice if a single songbook entry would be able to load both players as a single songbook entry!

[@ScanKeyboards]

Yes that's correct however it would be great if could save and load two players! One day hopefully 🤞

[@dannymormone]

Another fantastic video thank you for that. I own a Pa5x, Genos2 & Ketron Event, all 3 keyboards are incredible.

[@ScanKeyboards]

Couldn't agree more!

[@vacation_generation]

Brilliant video. Great explanations and tutorial.

Many thanks!

[@renemerlijn8403]

Very good tutorial. Some handy useful tips.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

[@biggles8917]

Thanks Adam, another great tutorial

[@ScanKeyboards]

No worries!

[@cyberblade6120]

In this Master Class I missed information about what can be saved in the song book and what not. Mixer settings for sounds, mixer settings for styles, FX settings, muted style tracks, sound changes in styles, autostart behavior etc. That’s the tough stuff where the explanations in the manuals are really weak.

[@udaysaraiya8455]

Great tutorial, as always! A question, when you load and play an MP3 vocal, do you have to match the tempo and key to the song in style player A?

[@ScanKeyboards]

Yes you need to play in the correct key, as for tempo, I've found that an MP3 generally is almost the same tempo as the corresponding style only one or two beats out.

[@OberleerersOberLehrer]

Thank you very much for the explanations. You mentioned that you might do a video about keyboard sets in the future. In this context, could you perhaps explain whether and how you can keep the left part unchanged when changing the set from the keyboard set menu? I've read in the docs but I can't find anything about it. Thanks

[@MrMartinStark]

Thank you, helped a lot!

[@ScanKeyboards]

You're welcome!

I make a mistake selling my korg pax5 , now i want the keyboard back, i was thinking on buying the genos2 but i dont now , the korg in my ooinion sound better .

The KORG PA5X is a brilliant arranger. I have both Genos 2 and KORG PA5X. I had the first Genos for 6 years so the Genos 2 was familiar to me. I added the KORG mainly because of the synth sounds, different styles and because it is so well constructed. There are differences in the voices to compare. I find the strings better on KORG than Genos 2 but the brass on Genos 2 are better than KORG. That’s just my opinion on comparing. If I was given a choice of either KORG or Genos, I would stick with Genos. The registration set up is much better and easier to work around. But as I said previously, the main reason for adding the KORG PA5X to my Genos 2, was the synth sounds they are superb. I see the Genos 2 as a Workstation whereas the KORG is more of an Arranger. It really is down to personal choice. Try both keyboards out. You say you sold your Korg PA5X. How long did you have it and why did you sell it? Have you tried a Genos 1 or 2? What do you want out of your keyboard? Hope this is of some help to you. Good luck.

[@user-uy2qf7hq4e]

When you load the lyrics in will the lyrics follow the song to the end

[@ScanKeyboards]

No you will need to use the arrow keys, wheel or a foot pedal. However lyrics will follow when using a midi file or CDG file.

[@user-uy2qf7hq4e]

Would it be possible to do another vid on loading lyrics to midifile then to keyboard

[@keithgriffiths5221]

Hi Adam. I've saved registrations I created in the songbook. I've backed the keyboard up. As when I add the new korg osmni download it overnights my songs. Can I import / export songbook registrations from a back up or do I need to start again.

[@ScanKeyboards]

I would load your stuff first then look in the Osimo .kst file, in the songbook folder press the drop down menu and select all and load. Untick replace all them you should have everything together...

[@keithgriffiths5221]

Cheers Adam.

[@ricardorico-kd5zk]

Hola una pregunta puedo probar el tema musical con los cambios ante de meterlo en la registración

[@ScanKeyboards]

Only to play manually then if your happy save!

[@drannesley]

Good tutorial. But the song book crashes a lot. Specially when changing the setlist entries without stopping the playback engine. Also the patch changes within variations in a given track does not apply when the style added to songbook. This happened even on factory styles. It's good if you talk about these as well. The keyboard is two years old and still lot of issues. With updates more and more issues.

[@ScanKeyboards]

Just out of interest why would you want to change songbook entries without stopping playback? As each entry is tied to a style/song. If it's that you need more sounds just wait for the next video I might have found you the answer...

[@drannesley]

It's an aspect of creativity. You could join songs as a medley. That's one option to change songbook entries without stopping.

[@user-uy2qf7hq4e]

Hi Adam so i have downloaded now OS 3.1 however my set list does not show in the matrix it shows mute on the 4th button is there another setting or is something wrong with the keyboard i have followed you're vid too the letter

[@ScanKeyboards]

Press file, then menu, then factory restore, untick all and just tick settings, then restore that will fix for you.

[@user-uy2qf7hq4e]

Thanks Adam

[@ricardorico-kd5zk]

Hola te hago otra pregunta puedo escribir los acordes que utilizo en la canción en la registración. Gracias

[@ScanKeyboards]

Create a text file and add to your songbook entry! That's what I do! Check the songbook video for how to do this...

[@moogy77]

When you erase everything from the song book, can you bring back particular styles?

[@ScanKeyboards]

?? Sorry I don't follow, if you delete the songbook you don't remove the styles...

[@ScanKeyboards]

If you are referring to genres, the songbook is a complete list that you can load as one or if you press shift you can load one entry or multiple entries as any time only by name.

[@taletdk]

Songbook is best future but for now is useless with songbook bugs

[@ScanKeyboards]

What bugs you having? And are they bugs or is it just designed that way? Let me know happy to look into this for you...
