Hi,
Now I can't see through it anymore because it's for i3 files.
I thought you had to have i30 files.

I'll read through it all again later at my leisure.

I have created the 3 points a little higher (Posts: 10).

Point 1 is still without disk .
Point 2 has a floppy disk if it is correct.
Point 3 has 2 disks and there should be another one ?

Thanks for now

The update and preload files are for the i30. Which OS version is currently installed on the i30?

The 10 styles disks will probably work on the i30, but no guarantees. They will work on other i-series arrangers. I would suggest don't try using them for now, until you gain confidence with the keyboard. Just enjoy it as it is.

Now, to the i30. The power is off. Hold down,
both at the same time: the KEYBOARD MAIN
and BACKING SEQUENCE buttons while you
power on the i30. This will put the i30 into the
Operating System upgrade mode.


Where is the Keyboard Main button?

Here is a picture .

I have the feeling that some buttons are not working and the disk drive is not working either.
I don't know how to format a floppy disk for testing.
(there is a button " Disk " but nothing happens

The button combination Song Play + Disk (Demo) does not work either.

I am trying to see if I can still get the update to work ( wenn Ich die Taste finde "Keyboard Main" )

Where did you get this information?
Use the instructions I sent to you.

Format your Diskettes on your PC, then create them using the ".exe" files ... follow the Korg PDF instructions.

I don't need to back up because everything is empty.

I have now tried it according to these instructions unfortunately it does not work.
1. Insert Diskette #1

2. Hold down Back.Seq. and Play/Mute Main Keyb. buttons and power ON the i30.

3. The i30 will start loading the file A.
<a href="https://ibb.co/z8DJvj5"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/z8DJvj5/neuuphoto-2024 ... -00-59.jpg" alt="neuuphoto-2024-01-17-20-00-59" border="0"></a>

I press and hold these 2 buttons as shown in the picture and then switch on the keyboard.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Are they maybe wrong buttons ?

The Backing Seq button is correct, but the second button to press is the rightmost one in the row marked Play/Mute, located under the slider marked "Main". Hopefully this is correct, as I don't have an i30 here at the moment to test this.

I will test this ,

Another question how can I test the floppy disk drive ?

When I press " DISK " should it not jump to the floppy drive ?

When the Disk button is pressed, the screen should change to displaying information relevant to Disk mode. Exactly what is displayed will depend on whether or not there is a hard disk installed.

Unfortunately, nothing is switched for me.
I think something is defective .
So slowly the joy of this keyboard goes away
