So I have both the 1.0.3 a updater and 1.0.1 librarian installed and working but even the latest release DID NOT WORK for me, I had to really hack this one hard, and it took me quite a while to crack it, but finally the sweet taste of victory and alas, ahhhh yes there once was a man from alas.... and when stormy weather...

There's some proof, b/c you may consider my methods the deep end, but I will list everything I did to make it work.... on the beloved 1909 build

What I installed from Korg, version wize:

usb midi driver (tools) DrvTools(115_r35e).exe
Korg wavestate Sound Librarian 1.0.1 Installer.exe
updater 1.0.3a

What I used that wasnt from Korg was a RNDIS - but a 64 bit version - I'm pretty sure what was being installed was 32 bit version of RNDIS but dont quote me on that, I did a LOT of things trying to fix this and somethings are hazy now...

But Korg's version of RNDIS, it wouldn't work for me... it kept showing up as "Other Devices" and broken... when Iused the more up to date version of the driver, it actually registers as a USB - Ethernet composite device. The creator of the driver is ACER computer company , I did some research and found it, I installed it and its working perfectly for me,

and another, with useful info...

I believe more than anything this and removing the garbage from the previous install were key for my system. Make sure you check the option to only remove the korg drivers, you'll be safe cleaning that way when you use the uninstall utility... here's a screen shot

read what i wrote on the screen shot, it just basically gives the detail on replacing the broken version of RNDIS that korg was installing..

Ok, and I also did everyone a solid and put the acer drivers up on my drop box for easy access... and dont worry, I'm not a jerk, these files are safe, and you know who I am so I"m just doing something unusual these days, being nice.... here's the link .... its on my personal drop box account.

For those mistrustin souls out there, for no reason, i'm telling you here's a link to the web site where I got them....

I hope this helps... it took eme a LOOOOOOONG time to whip this one.....

Okay, tried this, and I still couldn't get it to work. I'm curious about a few things...

You uninstalled the korg midi driver, but that wasn't something you'd install for Wavestate, to begin with, that's for some of their other synths. Did you end up reinstalling that, too? Considering you uninstalled it, completely, I'm assuming I don't need to install that?

Did you uninstall the librarian and the updater, too, and then reinstall that?

I'm wondering, I saw an AMD64 folder in your dropbox... is your cpu an AMD? Because mine's an Intel, and if that's the case, that might be why it's not working.

I'd be happy to jump onto an online meeting with you, I'm pretty sure I can get you running, .... let me answer your questions... firstly, the specs of my rig are in the signature of my post... I wont repeat it b/c you can just look down and see that I'm running an inlet as well. A lot of drivers for intel chips come with the AMD somewhere in the name, it doesn't really matter b/c we are all dealing with a RISC instruction set and that is what matters. I have a few questions for you ... like did you run the uninstall and find garbage? did you try and reinstall the midi driver ? ... you know it's sitting in the folder that they install too.... that folder is c:\program files(x86)\Korg\... you can see two .inf files in there, to me it looks like two sets of drivers... one that is 64 bit and one that is not.... but I only briefly looked, ... I DID install those.... but I did it manually if my memory servers me correctly.

I uninstalled the librarian and the updater numerous times... and I mean numerous...

Did you download all of the files, put them into a directory and replace a malfunctioning RNDIS driver in device manager? What does your device manager look like at this point? I would have to know this.. but in all sincerity for as much time as I spent on this I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that I could get your system up and running, I'll PM you and maybe we can meet, I have gotomeeting and I can share screen, video audio... so if you wanna do that , let me know, i'll send you my email address..... I've been a professional developer for over 20 years... so you'd be in good hands.

Pm'd you.

To answer your questions, I never uninstalled that MIDI driver (to find garbage), because I hadn't installed it in the first place, when I'd gone and looked for it, it didn't list wavestate as one of the synths it was for.

yes, I put all of your files in one folder, and when you said "replace malfunctioning driver", did you mean go to the RNDIS and do 'update driver' again and point to the Acer? Because that's what I did. As to what my device manager looked like, it had the Acer driver under network adapters, and I couldn't find the Wavestate in anything.

I'm still going to be up for a bit, I did PM you with my email if you want to do the meeting tonight or sometime tomorrow, I'm available, all day. I will try installing the midi driver this time, and go through the whole process again. Thanks for your help.

I still haven't been able to resolve my problem. It's definitely on my particular machine, as I was able to borrow a recently new laptop, just to check, and got it to work with no problems. I obviously have some driver conflict going on, I am hoping to hear back from Sweetwater tech support, soon.

RISC - yes I was typing to fast and not focusing, completely and totally - although I should have because the forum fact checkers will let no good deed or intent of good deed go unpunished, I meant to type CISC, and in my haste had a slip... I dont know who you are but you must be somebody with reason not to be embarrassed.

Also, RNDIS may not have been installed by you but it was only present in my device manager when I installed the the Korg software... so maybe a dll with a deep dependency or whatever - loaded it I dont know but the steps I documented here were what were required to get my system up and running .... other than that I was just trying to help.... f'me.

And just to be ultra clear ... The current Intel processors have a highly advanced micro-op generator and an intricate hardware to execute complex instructions in a single cycle – a powerful CISC-RISC combination.

I don't really have anything to say about the techspeak here, but I do want to point out that ramonromero spent close to three hours the other night trying to help me, a person he does not know, only for us to come to the conclusion that the problem lies somewhere on my own machine.

Stay kind, everyone.
