Korg Forums

Hi Guys,

I recently bought the Zero 4, which is awesome, though i'm having difficulties getting the firewire connection. I have got it once connected, but can not since get it re connected.

Is there a specific type of firewire port it requires ? Eg. TI firewire card not a VIA OHCI 1943 Compat

ATM, i are unable to get the connection, where i start up the zero 4 first then pc, then plug the Zero 4 into the pc, or in anyother start up order. Frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am Iin the same boat, and korg are
very slow to help, please post if you get anywhere, have you installed xp service pack2 FireWire patch?

I'm running service pack 3

Even so, have you installed KB885222?
(type it into google if your unsure what I mean!)

I have tried installing that update from microsoft and my zero still has an error when trying to upgrade to version 1.5 or 1.6

Ok Guy's
This is how I was getting the problem

I tried changing computer's and installed the drivers again.


1. I checked my firmware and downloaded the new one from the internet.
2. I tried using the updater, I followed everything and changed it to
midi in 2 and midi out 2
3. I choose the 1.6.vsb file
4. when I was doing update, halfway through, the screen on KORG would
go dark and I would receive the following error
5. receiving error(timeout)


There was another step that I had missed

THIS WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM.

1. Before powering your Zero, Press and hold "Keep" and "ch 2" below
the display (SYS.U will start blinking). Once this start's blinking than
you would go to the first step on the top.

****You can't update your firmware if SYS.U is not blinking on your screen..



And now Enjoy your Zero4
