Hi Guys

I think I need to clear up a little confusion that I may have caused here. I think I may have slightly misunderstood the theme of the post with so many points being made and there may have been some confusion over saying the driver was already done....

Our existing driver has been found to work on Windows 7, as stated over 3 months ago but we do recognise that there are other variables to consider if people are still having trouble on their computers such as firewire chipsets, bluetooth/wi-fi interference, etc.

We are always trying to work on improving the situation for you guys out there on this forum, we do try to resolve what we can.

So to clarify there is no new driver coming in the immediate future and I was referring to the diver currently available working in our tests.

Hello Mike,

Well, at least you return to our comments - that's something positive already (didn't manage ever before, even not with direct e-mail many many times - still got the e-mail reference numbers if you like).

You convinced me that several factors could influence behaviour of the firewire bus. Therefore I bought myself a new PC with Core-I7 CPU and Asus P6T mainboard with VIA onboard 1394 chipset, loads of RAM, etc.

With a only fresh installed Win7-64 bit, V1.10 Korg firewire drivers as well as latest updated Ableton, still no success. Tested all possible settings (took me days) but still experience continuous lag on the firewire bus. Highly dissapointing.

So if I use it over 3 PC''s with different HW, clean setups and many different settings, I don't know what to do any longer....

any further suggestion would help me, even advised 1394 chipset info might be worth another investment...

I just built my own system with a core i7 and windows 7 ultimate.
the zero4 barely runs on it but theres so many issues with it its not worth the effort.
so im still using my xp 32bit laptop with it for now.lets hope my laptop dosent fail me or im screwed.in a few yrs 32 bit pcs will be a thing of the past.
so what then? buy a new mixer?
for f*ck sake korg-just make the drivers and show a bit of respect to the people who shelled out on the zero mixers.
ill never touch another korg product again.
i love my zero4 but korg hasnt released a driver or firmware update for these mixers in nearly 2 years.
ridicuolus!!!!

Hi

I no longer work for Korg UK so cannot comment further on this issue. Please contact Korg for further clarification on this.

Thanks

Mike

Hi all,

Just received my zero 4.

In stallen 1.60 firmware and 1.10 firewire drivers in admin mode, then used zero4edit form my timecode.

And works great with traktor scratch pro running on windows 7 64bit (for now).
As i'm new to this mixer and haven't run into any problems, except timecode audio input through channel 1 couldn't be linked through the soundcard, i did get timecode signal when cd/line was selected, but not when audio,audio/midi or midi was selected.
I then connected my timecode input channels on 3 and 4, and then selected deck a + b in traktor to be timecode controlled.

I can controll 4 decks at the same timeand no pops or clicks to be heard @44.1 KHz.
