G1/G1 Air and Driver Ports
Driver Ports
MIDI IN Port
When using the G1/G1 Air to control an application on your
computer, select this port in the MIDI input settings of your
application.
MIDI OUT Port
Use this port to control the G1/G1 Air.
When using the standard USB-MIDI driver included
with the Windows operating system, the G1/G1 Air
cannot be used by multiple applications simultaneous-
ly. If you want to use the G1/G1 Air with multiple ap-
plications simultaneously, you must install the Korg
USB-MIDI driver. You can download the Korg USB-
MIDI driver from the Korg website, and install it as de-
scribed in the included documentation.

Even if the G1/G1 Air will not be used with multiple
applications, we recommend installing the KORG USB-
MIDI driver, which should provide improved operat-
ing stability.
USB storage mode
When the G1/G1 Air is in USB storage mode, data can be
transferred between its internal memory and an external
computer.
While the G1/G1 Air is in USB storage mode, no opera-
tion can be performed on it.
The USB connection cannot be used for MIDI commu-
nication while the USB storage mode is being used for
data transfer.

If the G1/G1 Air is turned off or the USB cable is
disconnected while data is being transferred in
USB storage mode, G1/G1 Air data or the connected
computer may be damaged.
4. Data can be backed up or restored by dragging folders
and files as with any external USB drive.
"G1USONG.BIN" in "KORG SYSTEM" is the song data
for all songs recorded with the G1/G1 Air.
If the file name is changed, the data can no longer
be read.

G1/G1 Air to "KORG SYSTEM." Otherwise, it may
no longer be possible to save recording data or pa-
rameter settings.
5. When you have completed the data transfer, remove
or delete the USB drive from the computer desktop.
