Convert a KORG Pa5X KST to a Pa3X SET
Two generations apart, and still possible. Pa Studio Suite reads a Pa5X KST and writes a SET for the Pa3X or Pa3X Le: the Styles, the Keyboard Sets as Performances, and the Pads. KST to SET is part of the Professional and All Access licenses.
What comes over to the Pa3X
| From the Pa5X | On the Pa3X |
|---|---|
| Styles | Pa3X Styles, with Variations, Fills, Intros, Endings, chord variations, tempo and mixer |
| Keyboard Sets | Performances |
| Pads | Pa3X Pads |
| Own Sounds of the Styles | the closest Pa3X factory Sound |
| SongBook | a list next to the SET of every entry and where its Style went |
How the Styles are rebuilt
Each Style is written again in the Pa3X format: patterns, chord variations, tempo and the mixer of every track. Every track gets a Sound the Pa3X has. Where the Pa5X has no Pa3X equal, such as its newer effects, the closest Pa3X setting is used, and the conversion report says so.
A Pa3X SET holds 15 Style banks of 40 (FAVORITE01–12 and USER01–03). If a KST has more Styles, the rest go into more SETs beside the first.
Pa3X or Pa3X Le
Choose the exact model. The Pa3X Le has its own Sound list and 8 Performance banks of 40, and the app plans for it.
Questions
Can a Pa3X load a Pa5X KST?
No. A Pa3X only reads SETs. Pa Studio Suite converts the KST into a Pa3X SET with the Styles, Keyboard Sets as Performances, and Pads.
Do the Pa5X own Sounds come over to a Pa3X?
The Styles use the closest Pa3X factory Sound instead. Own Sounds and samples come over to the Pa4X, Pa1000 and Pa700.
