Notes
- If you make settings in your host application so that the microSTATION's MIDI IN port (microSTATION KEYBOARD) is used as the MIDI input of the host application, there will be a greater possibility of errors occurring while receiving or transmitting a MIDI data dump with the UTILITY menu Receive/Transmit command, or while executing a MIDI data dump that occurs when you load a data file. In such cases, we recommend that you either set your host application so that it does not use the microSTATION's port as its MIDI input, or switch the setting only when you're performing a data dump so that the microSTATION's port is not used during that time.
- The microSTATION Editor/Plug-In Editor doesn't notice the modifications of some operations using the microSTATION hardware. Please execute “Receive All” from the UTILITY menu of the microSTATION Editor/Plug-In Editor to load the whole data from the microSTATION after these operations.

Known problems
- Pro Tools LE 7.x/8.x
In some cases, total recall fails to recover the data, and the data in the microSTATION itself is erased (initialized to InitData).
This problem can occur if the total recall settings (Global mode Software Setup) differ between when you saved and when you loaded.
If you've changed the total recall settings, close the session and start again with a new session file in order to minimize the possibility that this problem will occur. Even if this problem should make it appear as though the data in the microSTATION itself has been erased, the data in the microSTATION's memory has not actually been overwritten. Disconnect the connection between the microSTATION and your PC, and then power the microSTATION itself off and on again to recover the original data.
- Logic Pro 8.x/9.x
Since key operations from the computer keyboard will function as Logic Pro keyboard shortcuts, this produces the problem that numerical values or text cannot be entered from the keyboard into microSTATION Plug-In Editor. Please use mouse operations to edit parameters.
- Cubase 5.1.1
microSTATION Plug-In Editor is designed to prevent multiple instances from being run simultaneously, but when you attempt to start up a second instance in Cubase 5, the DAW will quit unexpectedly. Do not attempt to run multiple instances simultaneously.
- Mac OS X 10.5.8
On a Mac equipped with an Intel CPU, using microSTATION Editor's keyboard to play continuous glissandos for approximately 30 seconds may cause microSTATION Editor to quit unexpectedly. Do not continuously perform glissandos for an extended time.
