2 Upgrading Pa800's Operating System and Musical Resources
Introduction
Upgrading Pa800's Operating System and Musical Resources
Introduction
Korg regularly releases new updates of the Pa800's Operating
System and Musical Resources. The most up-to-date versions
can be downloaded from our web site (www.korgpa.com). Also,
a copy of the original data is contained in the Accessory CD that
comes with your instrument.
Two different types of system files: the
.PKG and .BKP
Updates can be supplied by Korg in either of two file formats:
• ".PKG" files contain the Operating System, or partial Musi-
cal Resource data. These files can only be made by Korg. To
load them, use the "Loading a .PKG file" procedure
described below.
• ".BKP" files are backups of the Musical Resources as a
whole. These can be created by Korg or the user, by way of
the Media > Utility > Full Resource Backup command. To
load them, use the Media > Utility > Full Resource Restore
command, described in the User's Manual.
The supplied .PKG files
The Accessory CD that comes with your Pa800 contains the fol-
lowing ".PKG" files:
Pa800_os_v[nnn].pkg. This is the Operating System. Loading
this file will not modify your User data. Just load it, by following the
procedure described below.
Pa800_os_res_v[nnn].pkg. This combines the Operating System
and all the Musical Resources. Load this file to fully reset your
Pa800 to its original situation, for example in case of malfunc-
tioning. Loading this file will modify your User data, so back-up
your older data before upgrading. See "Backing-up your older
data" below.
Note: Loading the "Pa800_os_res_v[nnn].pkg" files may take up to
10 minutes.
The supplied .BKP file
The Accessory CD that comes with your Pa800 contains the fol-
lowing ".BKP" file:
Pa800_res_v[nnn].bkp. These are all the Musical Resources,
including all Sounds, Performances, Styles, Pads, STSs, Song-
Book, Voice Processor and Global data.
This is equivalent to the file you can create with the Media >
Utility > Full Resource Backup command. To load it, use the
Media > Utility > Full Resource Restore command, described in
the User's Manual.
Loading this file will modify your User data, so back-up your older
data before upgrading. See "Backing-up your older data" below.
Backing-up your older data
Before loading new Musical Resources, you should backup your
older data. Loading the new Musical Resources will completely
erase both the Factory and User area.
Backing-up data is not needed when loading just the Operating
System, since this operation doesn't overwrite the Musical
Resources.
There are three options to back-up your data. Options (a) and
(b) will allow you to recover individual data (single items or
banks) later, while option (c) will only allow you to restore the
saved data as a whole.
a) Use the Media > Save > All procedure to save all the User
and Favorite Style data (Style, Pad, Performance, Sound/
DK, PCM, SongBook, Global, Voice Processor Presets).
PCM and SongBook data can be very space-hungry, so sav-
ing them is disabled by default in the Save All dialog box. If
you want to save them, check the corresponding parame-
ters.
b) If you customized the Factory data area (by rearranging or
replacing Styles or Pads), go to Media > Preferences, and
uncheck the "Factory Style and Pad Protect" parameter.
Then individually save any customized file or bank into a
new ".SET" folder.
c) If you want to save all the Factory and User data in a single
operation, use the Media > Utility > Full Resource Backup
command. Please be advised that you will not be able to
load single files or banks from the resulting backup (.BKP)
file.
Loading a .PKG file
The following procedure allows you to load the Operating Sys-
tem and/or the Musical Resources supplied as ".PKG" files. As an
example, we will load
"Pa800_os_v[nnn].pkg", where [nnn] is the latest version num-
ber).
1.
Copy the file "Pa800_os_v[nnn].pkg" to an USB storage
device (like an USB pen or an external USB hard disk).
As an alternative, you can copy the file to the internal SSD-
U memory or (optional) internal hard disk of the Pa800, by
using the USB Device port to connect your Pa800 to a per-
sonal computer.
2. Turn the Pa800 off, and connect the USB device to one of
Pa800's USB Host connectors – either the Front [USB-F] or
Rear [USB-R] port.
3. Turn the Pa800 on, while keeping the INTRO 1 button
pressed.
