Setting up the microSTATION Editor
Before you verify that the software is functioning
correctly, make sure that you've completed the following
steps.
• The microSTATION's USB connector is connected to
your computer's USB port.
• The microSTATION and your computer are both
powered‐on.
• The Korg USB‐MIDI driver is installed for the USB
port you'll be using.
• The microSTATION Editor (stand‐alone version) is
installed on your computer.
1. Start up the microSTATION Editor.
Windows
In the taskbar, click the [Start] button and then [All
Programs]. From the menu, choose "KORG"–
"microSTATION"–"microSTATION Editor" to start
up the editor.
Alternatively, you can navigate to the "KORG"
folder–"microSTATION" folder, and double‐click
the "microSTATION Editor.exe" icon located there.
The "KORG" folder will be in the location that you
selected when installing the software. By default, it
will be in the "Program Files" folder.
Macintosh
Navigate to the "Applications" folder–"KORG"
folder–"microSTATION" folder, and double click
the "microSTATION Editor" icon.
Navigate to the "Applications" folder–"KORG"
folder–"microSTATION" folder, and double click
the "microSTATION Editor" icon.
• When you start up, data will be transmitted and
received between the microSTATION and the
microSTATION Editor. The microSTATION's display
will indicate "Now transmitting" and the
microSTATION Editor will indicate
"Synchronizing..." while the synchronization data is
exchanged.
2. Click the [A] selector at the left side of the realtime
controls.
The indications of the four knobs will be [CUTOFF],
[RESONANCE], [EG INTENSITY], and [EG
RELEASE].
3. Use the four knobs of the realtime controls to vary
the sound. Using the mouse to move the on‐screen
knobs will have the same result as turning the four
knobs on the microSTATION itself.
