So reading everybodies issues on Windows- but what about Mac. I am getting this issue now and I somehow think it is because of Java. I updated the latest from Apple hoping it would work but nothing. Is there also a MIDI limit in OSx that I would need to skim (or reset). Worked before so this is just annoying now.
May have to do a Time Machine restore at this rate.

Did you ever figure this out on Mac OSX? I have the same issue that just appeared one day, now I can't connect and just get the backup screen. All MIDI functions work fine over USB otherwise.

After reading this entire thread, and trying each and everyone of these "solutions" I still can't get the editor to see my sv-1.

Again, just like everyone else, the midi function works fine with my other programs... just no sound bank info with editor.

I have a windows7/64. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, regedit removed midi, tried 64, 32, both....etc etc.

If someone knows the magic bullet to make this work, I'd be in your debt.

Thanks,

CK

all afternoon I've been at this on a Win 7 Home 64bit with Java SE 7. I could see that the SV-1 was being setup as the 10 audio device via the Midi driver utility. IN the end I did the following and IT WORKED!

------------------
So I was running into the same issue as most here: when I opened the Editor, all I saw was the Backup tab. I use Win 7 x64. I called Korg and the problem was fixed within 5 minutes. Go the start menu and type in regedit. In the frame on the left open KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>Current Version>Drivers32 in the frame on the right you should notice registry entries titled midi, midi1, midi2, etc... I won't get into the how and why in this post, but i right-click>delete on the following entries: midi, midi1, midi2. Close the regedit using File>Exit. Open the Start menu and open: All Programs>KORG>KORG Usb-MIDI Driver Tools and open Install Korg USB-Midi Device. After installation, open the Editor and it should work.
-----------------

BTW, I did that after unstalling Java (I only installed it to make the editor software happy), the editor and the midi device driver entirely. And running "CCleaner" a lot in between to ensure everything was cleaned up.

Perhaps it's worth it to do the regedit MIDI delete before even installing the midi driver and the editor, i.e. the order matters.

Mac users: How's the connection with the Editor, and what was your workaround solution?

Can someone PM me their email -- I'd need to get the old version of the Mac Korg USB-midi driver that runs on older Macs. I don't know if that version is on the disc or not but it's probably the 1.0 or an earlier version of 1.1 usb midi driver.

The inter webs don't have this driver. All of Korg's web pages seem to only have the Intel drivers for post 10.5 OS X.

I tried to install the Korg SV-2 and ran into the same issue (Win 10). The following description helped me as well, although I had to do it multiple times and uninstall/reinstall the Korg USB-Midi driver as well as the SV-2 editor. But it’s working fine now:
