I seem to remember the advice on the Korg Forum to reload your custom setting was to uncheck the Settings.

That way your Songbook, Setlists etc would be the ones loaded.

Does not seem right reloading your Settings from the SaveAll.kst file as this would over write the updated Settings in the OS update.
I am greatly confused at the moment!

From AntonySharmman at YamahaMusicians:

"PA5x Matrix Settings recovering after OS 1.3.1 Update

In every Pa5X OS update you have to save your Custom Resources.KST , update OS

and then reload your Custom Resources.KST back as installation manual says but they forgot to mention one

significant detail , Settings of newer OS v.1.3.1 are not compatible with previous OS v.1.2 and the result after

reloading your Custom Resources.KST are to lose all Matrix & KAOSS preset settings ...



Pa5X users with custom resources that you have upgraded to OS v1.3.1 and you then had loaded your previous

Custom Resources.KST do the following to restore preset settings of Matrix & KAOSS.

- Go to FILE/Menu/Factory Restore , uncheck all , click only at SETTINGS square box , restore and Done.

Your whole KST custom resources will be untouched ...

Then you can set any custom Global settings you had done in your previous setup."


He basically said *not* to roll back, but do this instead

Cheers,

Mark
Thanks for posting this, but I have am confused on one point. To review, when I installed 1.3.1 and reloaded my saved Custom Resources .KST, all of my Matix files disappeared and the Matrix windows are all blank. If I follow the above steps to do a Factory Restore to Settings, won't that bring back the factory Matrix settings instead of what I had saved to each Matrix pad?

Anthony Sharmman is now also here, so best to ask him directly: (he has since reposted his original post himself. Yes I asked him for permission first before posting the above, but best to deal with the expert! I'm a Yamaha arranger specialist myself)

Normally you have lost any custom matrix Pads as well you custom global settings.
Do a trick that might work , after factory restoring SETTINGS , then open your saved.KST folder
click only on SETTINGS and load them , it might restore your custom Matrix PADs , since buffer
will preserve previously loaded KAOSS !

Another tricky way is save in an updated.KST folder only current SETTINGS after restore , copy
both this KST and saved.KST in your computer.
Open updated.KST folder in your computer , you will find 2 folders there , MATRIXPRESET and
SETTINGS , open MATRIXPRESET and replace file Pads.MTP from the relative folder of your
saved.KST and then open SETTINGS folder and replace file My Setting.ksc from your KST.
Then load this modified updated.KST in your Pa5X
Users that need old songbook data might have to delete SongBook.MTP file from
MATRIXPRESET folder but I do not know for sure if those data will remain after update.


Hope this helps

Wow, thank you Antony! Those are some very impressive workarounds that sound worth trying.
