Well....

I found this to get you started.....just the patch names in case you have to create your own .ins to interface with your DAW software.
(Are you using DAW software as your Korg midi interface?)

http://www.korgpa.sk/ins/korg_pa4x_all_basic_2015v2.ins

Also found this site but it appears you to have to register....judgement call for you....but, check the link at bottom of the second post if you decide to register.

EDIT: this site may help....scroll to bottom page for specs/support software/owners manual.
https://www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/pa4x/page_2.php

I fired up my DAW with Sonar X3 to search for you but there is no .ins file provided for the KORG PA4X.

Also, the Cakewalk site states that you may need to contact Korg if you're not willing to create your own .ins file....here's how:

Hope that helps a bit....

BIAB can convert the .INS file to a .PAT file (a patch map is what you need for BIAB).

Or, you could try (or modify) a .PAT map file for another Korg model, here: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htm

HI Benardina and All.

If you are of a mind to download Cakewalk/ Sona instrument definitions ( .ins ) files from the internet to covert to pat files in BIAB,
You may like this ins file checker to check them for errors like undefined and misspelt definition references internally not much good converting a faulty one give you all sorts of problems.
For example the first one in the links above the one with all basic in the title, is full of errors when I got a copy from somewhere may have been a different link of course
The checker is on my Boxnet link below;
Just download and then click it is a self installing exe, it will ask to make a desktop icon say yes for easy access ,
To use click on icon browse to your ins file select the file and click open click check it wiil ask you were you want to save the resulting text file listing any errors, name the file, by default it will save back to where you got it from don’t worry it is only the txt report and wont ovewrite your ins file

hope some of you find this of use,
Mike

Good. If you made a .PAT file that works, send it to PG Music to be added to the link I posted.
