Korg Legacy on Vista 64? How do I upgrade?

[peaceland]

Hi, I am an original Legacy owner.
I am unable to install on Vista 64.

How do I upgrade to a version that is compatible?

Please!

Thank you!

Hi.

I got the same problem.

As far as I know though, there is NO compatible version yet. Not even the dongle-needing 1.2.

So my question to Korg is, will there EVER be 64bit drivers for KLC-1 with MS-20 controller ?


Thanks in advance !

I would very much like to know this too.

It is understandable that Korg doesn't want to give out announcements on what they're working on until shortly before release but at the moment I think the question of "Is the Korg VSTi product line dead or not" needs to be answered.

I'm feeling very tempted to buy the Korg Legacy Analog Edition (I already have the Digital Edition) but have been holding off until I know if I can use it on my next computer as well.

A friendly but expectant bump.

A bump just in case a Korg rep happens to look this way...

A Sunday bump because I'm still interested in any answers.

When I bought the KLCDE package I was hoping that eventually it would be made 64-bit compatible (Vista/W7), and that perhaps in a future version the complete functionality of the T1 would be integrated (meaning the ability to read T-formatted floppies [and possibly DSM-format floppies] and integrate the RAM function of the T1 – it would make life so much easier for those with custom PCM samples and programs/combis using a combination of those samples with the internal wave ROM).

So far I have not seen either, and that is why I want to give this thread another bump hoping that someone from Korg Japan may take notice.
Korg has become sooooo quiet about the KLC software instruments...

The current KLCDE is a great software package and I would find it a shame if it was not developed any further.

So, if there is anyone out there (HELLO...hello...hello...hello), please take this request to heart?

It's time for a friendly summer-bump.

There have to be enough requests already.

Have you actually contacted and asked Korg about this?
They don't frequent this forum very often, as it is a user-forum and not owned by Korg.

You might find that 64 bit support will be a long time coming - considering that Korg have not yet released a 64 bit version of their USB drivers or anything like that. Suggests that maybe they don't have the platforms available to develop 64 bit drivers or software (you can't make a 64 bit program without actually using a 64 bit computer AND a 64 bit operating system).
I've said around here before, take up on 64 bit technology in business has been incredibly slow. even now most computers have 64 bit processors, most run in 32 bit mode with a 32 bit operating system, because there has not been a relatively stable 64 bit operating system released. Vista is greatly improved but most do not want to take up Vista anyway. XP64 was never propperly supported. anyway, the lack of operating system combined with the reluctance to release 64 bit drivers is making the take up of 64 bit extremely slow. I'd say we are halfway there, in terms of the '64 bit revolution'. Considernig 64 bit processors have been on some servers since the 80s!

I'm not trying to write from a biased viewpoint. I am actually writing from a wonderful AMD 64 bit dual core laptop, but i'm using XP-pro 32. Vista would kill it, and then there'd be no point.
Windows 7 will apparently be a lot more mobile- and laptop- friendly.

I think I did contact them directly half a year ago. Can't remember the reply though.

Well, it's sad to see many companies releasing 64bit drivers, and KORG to not even commenting on the issue (on their website or wherever). And it's not about any plugin, but about the well loved Legacy series.

It was one of the Only 32bit Plugins That Worked on Windows 7 64Bit

Are you saying that Korg Legacy works on W7 64-bit? I got the W7 RTM from work and I'm about to reinstall my DAW, but this is the exact reason I haven't done so yet (which is why I came to this forum just now). I have two partitions, one gaming and one for music. Did format/install W7 on the gaming partition and launched Legacy. All works but the Digital ones, M1 and Wavestation (they produce no sound).

You will also be happy to hear that the MS20 controller was recognized by W7 as MS20 controller with no drivers at all needed.

And yes, all knobs and stuff works with the MS20 plugin.

EDIT: Well I thought after posting this, why not try installing them since I have the gaming rig on W7 64-bit anyways?

I can happily report that the Analog Edition and the Digital Edition installed without a hitch, and now both M1 and Wavestation produces sound! And yes, the Analog Edition worked as well (at least Legacy Cell and MS20, I take it for granted that the Polysix and Mono/Poly does as well).
I didn't install the VST plugins version, but from what I've read elsewhere, one needs a vst wrapper in 64-bit Cubase anyways.

Yeah I went Back to XP Because The VST Bridge Did not work with the 32Bit Plugins at all (And My system is faster in XP than in W7)
But ...
You can install the 32 Bit version of Cubase and Run it that way

Yeah, but I ain't going back without a fight. I have read on the Cubase forums that a third party app called Jbridge is supposed to be tons better than vst bridge. Worst case scenario I'll try that one before I go back to 32-bit.
