Installing the software

Installing in Windows

Note: In order to install or uninstall software in
Windows, you must have Administrator privileges.
Note: Before you connect the microSTATION to your
computer via USB, you must use the microSTATION
application installer to install the KORG USB‐MIDI
Driver Tools.
Using the microSTATION application installer
The microSTATION application installer will install the
KORG USB‐MIDI Driver Tools and the microSTATION
Editor/Plug‐In Editor.
1. Insert the included accessory disc into your optical
disc drive.
Normally the "microSTATION Application
Installer" will start up automatically.
If your computer is set so the installer does not run
automatically, double‐click "KorgSetup.exe" on the
accessory disc.
2. From the list, select the applications that you want
to install, and click [Install].
The applications you selected will begin the installa‐
tion process.
If you want to connect the microSTATION to your
computer via the USB port, you must install the
Korg USB‐MIDI Driver Tools. Then from within the
Korg USB‐MIDI Driver Tools, you will need to
install the Korg USB‐MIDI driver. ("Installing the
KORG USB‐MIDI driver" on page 4)
3. Follow the on‐screen instructions to install the
software.
When you click the [Install] button for the microS‐
TATION Editor/Plug‐In Editor in step 2, the "micro‐
4
STATION Editor/Plug‐In Editor Installer" dialog
box will appear.
Select and install all desired components, such as,
the Editor (Standalone), Plug‐In Editor (VST), and/
or Plug‐In Editor (RTAS).
For example if you want to install the stand‐alone
version, click [Install Standalone Application].
Follow the on‐screen instructions to proceed with
the installation.
If the installation was successful, click [Close].
"microSTATION Editor/Plug‐In Editor Installer"
will appear.
Next you will install the plug‐in version(s) that you
want to use. Using the procedure described above,
begin with step 1 and install the plug‐in version(s)
that you want to use.
If you don't want to install the VST or RTAS plug‐in
version, click [Exit Setup] to end the installation.
When you've finished installing the application(s)
that you want, click [Exit Setup] to exit the installer.
For details, please see the "microSTATION Editor/
Plug‐In Editor User's Guide" (PDF).
4. When you've installed all of the selected software,
exit the installer.
Installing the KORG USB-MIDI driver
Use the KORG USB‐MIDI Driver Tools to install the
KORG USB‐MIDI driver.
Before you continue, you must finish installing the
KORG USB‐MIDI Driver Tools in your computer.
1. Use a USB cable to connect your computer's USB
port to the microSTATION's USB connector. Then
power‐on the microSTATION.
When your computer first detects that the
microSTATION is connected, the Windows default
driver will be installed automatically. However
since this driver is not the Korg USB‐MIDI driver,
it cannot be used correctly.
Note: If you are using Windows XP or Windows
Vista, the driver must be installed separately for
each USB port. If you connect the microSTATION to
a USB port used to connect the microSTATION
other than the port that you previously used, you'll
need to install the KORG USB‐MIDI driver again
using the same procedure listed above.
2. From the taskbar, click [Start][All
Programs][KORG][KORG USB‐MIDI Driver
Tools][Install KORG USB‐MIDI device].
The setup utility will start.
3. Follow the on‐screen instructions to install the
KORG USB‐MIDI driver.
During the installation, if a dialog box regarding
digital signatures appears with a message saying
".... has not passed Windows logo testing," simply
click [Continue] to proceed.
