Hope someone can share their experience and offer some tips.

I have the editor running in standalone mode and communicating correctly with the KRONOS. Can sync the Kronos with the editor, and edit patches from the editor without issue.

Where it completely breaks down is if a different program or combo is selected from the Kronos. After changing the active patch, the editor will often cause a completely random patch to be selected on the Kronos - and even worse, for the randomly selected patch to be overridden with whatever patch happens to be in the editor at the time. This occur using USB or DIN MIDI, local control on or off, set synchronisation on or off.

This is not advanced editor functionality I'm trying to use, but pretty fundamental stuff. I've scrutinized the manual but I cannot find a solution. surely im missing something simple?

Is your bank mapping perhaps set to GM instead of Korg?

[SeedyLee]

Definitely set to Korg, just double checked. Any other thoughts? I'm sure I've had it working well before.

It seems to me that the editor echoes patch changes back to the Kronos, so the patch is changed twice when changing it from the Kronos, causing things to fall out of sync.

Well I reinstalled the editor, the USB MIDI driver and restarted the PC and that seemed to resolve the issue. I suspect there may have been a zombie process that was duplicating MIDI data.

I'm going to give the editor another go, but use it exclusively in stand alone mode and not the VST. I will run the editor over the Kronos' USB connection and set my DAW to use the DIN MIDI connection, therefore mitigating the fact the Korg USB driver cannot be used by 32 bit and 64 bit applications simultaneously.

With the synchronisation features introduced in Version 2.0 I'm hoping this will be a more fruitful endeavour than when I first attempted to use it in the 1.6 era.

I'm pleased to say I've finally got the editor working the way I want (albeit in standalone mode) and I'm quite happy with it.

I'm able to use the standalone editor simultaneously with my 64-bit editor (Presonus Studio One), and although I don't get "Total Recall" when I open my project, I do have the ability to efficiently edit from my desktop and quickly recall state. It beats having to use the Kronos touch screen every time you want to make a change!

The synchronisation features of > 2.0 make a big difference as well.
