Korg modwave Owner's Manual page 4

Installation
modwave software version 2.1.5 or later is required
Check the software version of the modwave:
1. Press UTILITY and then SHIFT + < (PAGE -).
This will take you to the About page. The version number is shown at the top of the screen. If the version is below
2.1.5, you'll need to update the modwave before continuing. The latest modwave software can be installed via the Korg
System Updater, downloaded from the Korg website (http://www.korg.com/ ).
What's installed on my computer, and why?
The Editor/Librarian communicates with the modwave using networking over USB, as opposed to MIDI. To
automatically identify and connect with the modwave over the network, the Editor/Librarian uses the mDNS standard.
On Windows, this requires Apple Inc. ' s Bonjour, and so this is installed along with the Editor/Librarian application.
USB Network must be set to NCM
To use the Editor/Librarian, the modwave's USB Network parameter must be set to NCM. To make sure that this is set
correctly:
1. Press UTILITY twice, and then hold SHIFT and press > (PAGE +).
This takes you to the MIDI & USB page, as shown below.
2. Make sure that USB Network is set to NCM.
3. If you had to change this from RNDIS to NCM, turn off and restart the instrument before proceeding.
USB Network
[RNDIS, NCM]
RNDIS: This is the legacy RNDIS protocol, which is no longer supported by the Editor/Librarian.
NCM: This is the Network Control Model protocol, for use with MacOS and Windows 10 and later.
Important: Changes to this parameter take effect only after the modwave has been turned off and restarted.
MacOS
To install the software on MacOS:
1. On the modwave, make sure that the USB Network parameter is set to NCM.
For more information, see "USB Network must be set to NCM" on page 4.
2. Connect your modwave to the computer via USB.
3. Open the modwave Editor/Librarian [version number] .dmg file in the Finder.
The disk image will open.
4. On the disk image, open the modwave Editor/Librarian [version number] .pkg file.
The installer will start.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Enter your administrator password when
prompted.
The installation will run, and the Editor/Librarian application will be installed in Applications/KORG/modwave.
