PLEASE!PLEASE!PLEASE! R3 Software trouble noobie!

Post by 44teeth »

I have uploaded all the software,set preferences on the software but do not know what else to do. Do you press any buttons or knobs on the r3 besides...

Connect the R3 to your computer using a USB cable.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press [8] button. In the main display you can turn the protect function on/off.
Turn the [PAGE] dial to select protect off, and then press the [8] button or [SHIFT] button to execute the operation.
Turn the [PAGE] dial to select the EDIT-P43 MIDIFilt page, and set "SystemEx" (knob [4]) to Enable.)

The software says it isnt connected but its all plugged in. Ive transfered patches before but I dont remember how I made it work. Im begging for help, im freaking out!

I'm assuming your having trouble connecting the R3 to the editor software!

There are two pieces of software to install: the Korg USB/MIDI driver which must be installed first, then the editor.

OK, once both are installed and you connect the R3 to the computer via USB you must set preferences in the editor software. You have to select the correct MIDI ins and outs.

This part is confusing to most people: SOUND is the one to select!!! Do not select KBD/KNOBS.

If you launch the editor before the R3 is connected, the editor won't see the R3 and it remembers this. The next time you launch you have to set the preferences again.

You shouldn't need to do this with every use. Once you've done it once it should be okay and be remembered by your PC OS.

In Windows, you do need to repeat that step if you use a different USB port than before.

in Windows7 you don't need any USB-MIDI drivers. Download and run R3 Editor, select R3 MIDI device in preferences and press "New".
