New format support, a proper event editor, and a long list of conversion improvements and fixes. Here's the full rundown:
NEW FEATURES
• KORG PA5X sets — Improved parsing when importing a Korg PA5X .KST folder
• PA5X Style → older-model style conversion — Load a PA300–PA4X set in SET A and a PA5X set in SET B, then simply drag a style from the PA5X set onto the older one. It's converted on the fly to the format those models can actually read. (This is a first — until now no other program could bring PA5X styles down to earlier KORG models.)
• Event Editor — Right-click any CV in Style Properties and choose "Event Editor". From there you can see and edit the events inside that chord variation — notes, velocity and more — so you can fine-tune a style directly in the app instead of exporting it to an external editor.
• Introducing Ketron Event - Export to Ketron Event Style (.KST) — You can now turn a KORG style into a Ketron Event style: go to Style Properties → Export Style and pick "Ketron Event Style". Perfect for sharing your KORG styles with Ketron Event players.
• Import Style (many formats) — With a KORG set open, right-click an empty slot in the Styles section and choose "Import Style". You can bring in styles from Yamaha .STY, SFF .MID, KORG .STY, KORG PA5X .STG, Medeli AKX and Ketron Event .KST — and each one is automatically converted to the style format your loaded model uses. One place to pull styles from almost any platform straight into your set.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Copy Style Pads — When you move a style from SET B to SET A, its assigned pads now travel with it, so you no longer lose the pad content in the process.
• Better drum kit conversion — Converting KORG drum kits to Medeli AKX (.kit) now also carries over the Exclusive Group and the "Enable Note On Receive" setting, so kits behave more faithfully — for example, open and closed hi-hats correctly cut each other off.
• Lighter on resources — The app has been optimized to use less memory and processing power, for smoother performance on large sets.
FIXES
• Fixed an extra piano layer being wrongly added when converting KORG PA samples to Medeli (.voi).
• Fixed MIDI input and output not being detected by the program.
• Fixed conversion errors that could occur when moving content between different KORG PA models.
• Fixed PADS and PERF not showing under SET B in SetManager.
Thank you for using PA SET Explorer, and for every report and suggestion you send — that feedback is exactly what shapes each release. There's a lot more on the way. Enjoy 1.2.1! ♥
