How to guide: Restoring a Pa2X/800 to Known Working State

The following procedure will reset your Pa2x or Pa800 keyboard to a known working state, without
loss of user styles and sounds:

a) Save favorite styles and user styles into UserStyle.SET folders (MEDIA -> Save)

b) Save user sounds into UserSound.SET folders (MEDIA -> Save)

c) Reformat the SSD memory chip (wipes all user data) ... read the installation notes!

e) Load the user sounds from UserStyle.SET folders (MEDIA -> Load)

f) Load the user styles from UserSound.SET folders (MEDIA -> Load)

NOTE 1: Do not use Korg's backup procedure using .BKP files. Many people have had problems
because there is no effective mechanism when restoring from a .BKP file that avoids overwriting
Korg's latest factory Musical Resources.

NOTE 2: Never overwrite Korg factory styles and sounds. This is because there is no effective way at
the moment of saving and restoring your work in the event that a Korg Musical Resources update is
issued in the future. Instead save any changes to styles in a Favorites bank, and save any changes to
sounds in a User bank.

NOTE 3: Never load a .SET file containing someone else’s GLOBAL or SONGBOOK subfolders. At
best you will delete your own settings. At worst you will corrupt the memory of the Pa keyboard and
things will stop working - then you will have to do the above "reset" procedure all over again to fix
it.[RS]
