Hi
I must be dumb, but I can't find it anywhere on the forums. In Zero Edit, I changed the Audio/IO settings, using "preset BUS+Master" instead of preset "Pre EQ".
So - eh - yea. What now ? I can save these settings to a file, doh. How do I *apply* them ? tested the zero4, but no changes yet. I'm on a mac.
curious,

Zero Edit - "apply changes?"

thanks for the reply ..
though; it was something else. i had to enable midi in the midi menu item, "midi setup". it's disabled by default. set it to autodetect, and it seems to be communicating now. apparently such setting go thru midi sysex messages (which, if you think about it, opens up some possibilities
)
thanks!

i'm still not quite sure how to apply changes. at seemingly random moments, when quiting ZeroEdit, it prompts "new settings have been created; do you want to store these as default settings" ?
That is the moment you've been waiting for, and you happily click YES. but unfortunately, it doesn't happen very often.
Ofcourse, these are defaults for the **application**, not for the hardware. The Zero4 sometimes remembers it's settings when shutting off & on, sometimes it returns to defaults, so it seems.
Can someone from Korg inform us
- when the Zero Edit application should prompt you to use your new settings as default ?
- when the zero4 hardware is supposed to remember new settings
- when the zero4 hardware might (accidently or not) return to factory defaults ?
I'm sure someone knows.
[EDIT]
OK, I confirm my zero4 *always* remembers it's midi assignments (tab2) and it's iosettings (tab4). It's fader settings (tab1) and the EQ status (tab3) are actually determined by the hardware dials on the machine. Allthough you can edit the fader settings using Zero Edit, your new settings will always be gone when you reboot the machine; they will return to the position of the hardware dial. You can't edit the EQ settings (tab3) in Zero Edit anyway, you can only watch them.
I'm still not sure when the application prompts you to use your settings as defaults, but for mac users, the default "klmd" is located in the application (package contents/contents/resources), and you can change it there.
However, if you have your midi enabled in Zero Edit, it doesn't use any default, it loads the data from the mixer. You don't have to save anything either, because your mixer should remember its settings. Your hardware is your default. The only reason to save your changes to a file, is if you have different settings for different occassions, or if you have very weird settings in tab1 that can't be done thru the hardware dials.
Oh, and *do* quit all applications when starting Zero Edit - it crashes, apparently if it receives unexpected midi, f.e. when Novation Automapserver is running. That doesn't happen if you turn midi off in Zero Edit, but that makes starting ZeroEdit useless anyway.
So my advice is:
- use it once:
- quit all applications
- start zero edit
- enable midi
- set your defaults right (note the factory defaults were broken on my machine),
- optionally save them to a file but only for backup purposes,
- quit zero edit
- never use it again
