USB

Factory Sound Protect
When On, this parameter prevents writing edited Sounds from
the Edit Sound mode. When Off, you can freely save edited
Sounds either in the Factory or User Sound area.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when turning the
instrument off.
Note: If your accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload the
Backup data, find the original Musical Resources in the supplied
CD, or download the data from www.korgpa.com.
PCM Autoload
When you import a Sound based on PCM Samples, or create a
new Sound with Samples recorded in the Sampling mode, the
Samples are stored in the SSD-S(ystem) internal memory.
When this parameter is set to On, these User PCM Samples are
automatically loaded when turning the instrument on, so that
you don't have to worry and deliberately load them.
However, since loading may take some time, you can choose
whether to automatically load these Samples or not, in case you
don't need these Sounds.
If Samples have not been automatically loaded when turning the
instrument on, you can press the Load PCM button in this page
to load them.
On When turning the instrument on, User Samples
used by some Sounds are automatically loaded
from the SSD-S memory to the RAM memory.
Off When turning the instrument on, external Sam-
ples used by some Sounds are not automatically
loaded. Therefore, these Sounds will not sound,
until you use the Load PCM button to load them
to RAM.
Load PCM button
Press this button to load to RAM all PCM Samples used by some
User Sounds loaded from an external device, or created in Sam-
pling mode.
Not available if no User PCM Samples are used by any Sound,
PCM Autoload is selected, or if the PCM Samples have already
been loaded (either by pushing this button or by entering the Sam-
pling mode).
Hide Unknown Files
When this option is checked, non-proprietary files are hidden
when using Media operations, therefore making browsing direc-
tories easier.
USB
Use this page to enable or disable the USB Device port for file
transfer.
Med
The USB Device port allows you to access the internal SSD-U
and the (optional) internal hard disk from a personal computer
(Windows or Macintosh), by just connecting the Pa800 to the
computer's USB interface. This way, you can exchange files
between the Pa800 and a personal computer (for example, for
making a quick backup of Pa800 data on your computer, or
moving midifiles to your Pa800).
Note: Windows 2000 and XP, as well as Mac OSX, can be directly
connected to the Pa800. To connect a Windows 98 computer you
need a dedicated driver, available from www.korgpa.com.
Hint: While USB file transfer is enabled, you cannot access other
functions on the Pa800. We suggest you use the USB just after turn-
ing the instrument on, and turn the instrument off and on again
after using and disconnecting it, to be sure no USB activities will
interfere with other media operations.
HD and SSD-U Connection
Normally, the USB Device port is not enabled for file transfer on
the Pa800 (it is always on, however, for MIDI connection). Press
the Enable button to turn it on, or the Disable button (with all
the caveats) to turn it off.
Enable After connecting Pa800 to a personal computer
by using a standard USB cable, press this button
to enable file transfer. In this case, Pa800 is the B
USB device (called Device or Slave), while the
personal computer is the A USB device (called
Host or Master).
