hello
i have a problem with the sv-1 editor, cubase recognize the keyboard,midi works and everything, but when i open the sv-1 editor i apperas blank like it's not connected, i would really appreaciate some help because it's driving me crazy. thank you very much

Is Cubase still running? Maybe it is not sharing the midi port so the editor doesn't see it connected. Close Cubase and see if the editor picks up the SV-1.

cubase is closed..

reboot and then open up just the editor- does it work.

it doesn't work i tried it..

well if Cubase is working properly with the SV-1 then something is odd. I have to assume it is a driver issue possibly- are you running Win 7 or Vista? Are you running the editor in administrator mode?
Can't help you anymore- it works flawlessly and out of the box for me (although I am on Mac )

first of all thank you very much for all of your replies.,i'm runing on windows 7 32 bit, and running as an administrator bring up the same results.

Maybe this is an oversimplified question,

But are you connected via USB? Or just strictly MIDI?

usb, i had a feeling that the problem is something concerning the java version in my computer, but i tried diffrent versions and it stil did'nt work

I have the same problem...

Did you uninstall the Korg midi driver, reboot, then do a reinstall (then reboot).

yes i did, i think that this is a software problem, is anyone else running on windows 7 32bit with the newest java and the editor works ok?

There's quite a lot of threads on here with people having problems getting the editor to work.
Quite a lot of advice in this thread.
Most people seem to be having problems with 64bit rather than 32bit Win7, though.

I'd definitely try a few different Java versions, and cleaning up your registry, though.

(I have Win7 64bit, and never had a problem, so can't give any first-hand advice on your problems, I'm afraid)

i've searched through the forums for answers berfore i posted this subject, and found none.and iv'e tried diffrent java versions, i think that my problem is specific because i do get a midi signal, cubase works perfectly fine but the editor refuses to recognize the instrument.

Problem solved. (Win 7 64 bit)

After installation of editor, go to C:\Program Files\KORG\SV-1 Editor
in this folder you will see some files. You need to edit a file named config.xml

In the end of file you will see text

<entry>SV1 1 KEYBOARD</entry>
<entry>SV1 1 SOUND</entry>

You have to replace this text by the:

<entry>SV1 KEYBOARD</entry>
<entry>SV1 SOUND</entry>

Then save this file, start the editor, and connection between the editor and SV1 will be established.

Any way, you have to open your DAW, look for the name of SV1 midi input and output, and set the same name in the config.xml file.
