Using the Editor/Librarian

Starting the wavestate Editor/Librarian

1. Install the software and connect the wavestate via USB, as described under "Installation" on page 2.
A USB connection is required.
2. Start the wavestate Editor/Librarian.
You can find the wavestate Editor/Librarian application in the following locations, depending on the operating system
being used:
In MacOS, the wavestate Editor/Librarian is installed into Applications/KORG/wavestate.
In Windows, you can find the wavestate Editor/Librarian under KORG/wavestate in All Programs, the Start Menu, etc.
Using the Editor/Librarian with two or more wavestates
Important: Before connecting multiple wavestates, make sure to set each instrument's System ID to a different
number.
To set the wavestate's System ID:
1. Press the UTILITY button to go to the System Setup page.
If a different page appears at first, press UTILITY again.
2. Set the System ID parameter, at the bottom of the page, as desired.
The specific number isn't important; just make sure that all connected wavestates have different System IDs.
3. In the wavestate Editor/Librarian, use the Devices menu to select the desired wavestate.
Note that data cannot be copied directly from one wavestate to another; instead, use Export to save the data from the
first wavestate, and then Import to load the data into the second wavestate.

Two modes: Editor and Librarian

The buttons in the upper right of the main window select whether you're working with the Editor or the Librarian. For
the most part, you can simply switch between the two without thinking about it. It's important to note, however, that
some menu commands may be available only in one mode, and that undo is handled separately for each mode.
Menu commands
In general, menu commands for file operations, such as importing, exporting, backing up, and restoring, are available
only when the Librarian is active. Similarly, menu commands for saving Performances are available only when the
Editor is active.
Undo/Redo
The wavestate Editor/Librarian supports multiple levels of undo and redo for most actions, including importing
data, deleting, renaming, editing Set Lists, editing parameters, and so on. For instance, you could import a bundle file
containing a thousand objects, and then rename all of your Programs, and safely undo both actions in turn. Note that
restoring from a backup is not undoable.
Undo/redo buffers are maintained separately for the Librarian and Editor modes. You'll see this in the menu
commands, whose names change based on the mode to either Librarian Undo/Redo or Editor Undo/Redo,
respectively.
