software in Windows XP
Note: In order to install or uninstall software in
Windows XP, you must have Administrator privileges.
Consult your system administrator for details.
Note: Before you connect the M3 to your computer via
USB, you must use the M3 application installer to
install KORG USB-MIDI Driver Tools.
Note: Before you connect the M3 (with the optional
EXB-FW) to your computer via FireWire, you must use
the M3 application installer to install the KORG
FireWire Audio/MIDI Driver.
Installing the M3 application
The M3 application installer will install the KORG
USB-MIDI Driver Tools and the M3 Editor/Plug-In
Editor automatically.
1. Insert the included CD-ROM into your CD-ROM
drive.
Normally the "M3 Application Installer" will start up
automatically.
If your computer is set so the installer does not run
automatically, double-click "KorgSetup.exe" on the
CD-ROM.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
desired software such as the KORG USB-MIDI
Driver Tools and M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor.
Note: If you intend to use the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor
via the USB port, you must install the KORG USB-
MIDI Driver Tools.
Note: If you intend to use the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor
via the FireWire port, you must install the KORG
FireWire Audio/MIDI Driver Tools.
3. When you've installed all of the selected software,
exit the installer.
4. If necessary, install the KORG USB-MIDI driver.
For details on installation, please see "Installing the
KORG USB-MIDI driver," below.
Connections Installing the software
Installing the KORG USB-MIDI driver
If you intend to use the M3 Editor/Plug-In Editor via
the USB port, you must install the "KORG USB-MIDI
driver" in your computer.
Use the KORG USB-MIDI Driver Tools to install the
KORG USB-MIDI driver.
1. Before you continue, you must first finish
installing the KORG USB-MIDI Driver Tools in
your computer.
2. Use a USB cable to connect your computer's USB
port to the M3's USB B connector. Then power-on
the M3.
When your computer first detects that the M3 is
connected, the Windows default driver will be
installed automatically. (This is not the KORG USB-
MIDI driver.)
Note: The driver must be installed separately for each
USB port. If you connect the M3 to a USB port other
than the one for which you installed the KORG USB-
MIDI driver, you'll need to install the KORG USB-
MIDI driver again using the same procedure.
3. From the taskbar, click [Start]→[All
Programs]→[KORG]→[KORG USB-MIDI Driver
Tools]→[Install KORG USB-MIDI device].
The setup utility will start.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
KORG USB-MIDI driver.
If during the installation, a dialog box regarding digital
signatures appears with a message saying ".... has not
passed Windows logo testing," simply click [Continue]
to proceed.
Note: If you are unable to proceed with the installation,
it may be that your computer has been set to prohibit
installation of unsigned drivers. Check the settings of
your computer as described in "Allowing installation
of drivers that are not digitally signed."
5. After you've installed the KORG USB-MIDI
driver, exit the installer.
If you are asked whether you want to restart, choose
[Yes] to restart your computer.
For more about installation, setup, or uninstallation of
the KORG USB-MIDI driver, refer to the installation
manual (HTML).
To view the manual, choose [Start]→[All
Programs]→[KORG]→[KORG USB-MIDI Driver
Tools]→[Installation Manual].
