Korg microSTATION and X1

Hi there,

    I know my way around Sonar fairly well, but haven't done much with hardware synths. I recently purchased a Korg microSTATION and I really like it. (I also have a Korg microCONTROL running Sonar Synths, and act etc with no scary issues).

I have installed the Korg USB driver and  Microstation Editor.  The editor runs as a standalone and as a plug in in Sonar.  When I run Sonar *after* the Microstation is powered up I end up with a MIDI input (microSTATION Keyboard, and a MIDI out (microSTATION Sound).  I  can use midi tracks to accept input from the keyboard and output back to the synth and hear sounds.  In Program mode I can select patches, and same for Combis.  In Sequence Mode I can have multiple tracks, each with a different Midi channel and it plays the corresponding instrument on the synth.  WHat you cannot do is change patches within a sequence mode - that is that the plug in editor is for.  

     Sorry about the wordy intro.  When I run the plug in I get a "microSTATION Hardware not found. Rescan All MIDI devices?" error dialog.  When I hit OK to scan the devices, I notice that although the  microSTATION Sound device shows up, the microSTATION Keyboard does not, and the editor does not get a connection.

     If I delete the editor, go to Edit Prefs and turn off the microSTATION Keyboard, when I reload the Editor  plugin it connections and I can use it with the microKONTROL, but not with the microStation's own keyboard.  If at this point I go back to Edit prefs to turn the microSTATION Keyboard device back on, it will not let me until I delete the plug in again.

  If I try to run the  standalone version with Sonar open it fails to load.

  What I would like to do, and believe I should be able to is run Sonar (X1C Expanded) and use the MICROSTATION plug in, and the actual MICROSTATION  keyboard together.

All help appreciated.

please look at my topic - Korg M50 and Sonar

keep in mind that if you want to use microSTATION in multitimbral mode you should press "SEQ" button. Otherwise you'll be able to play just one PROG or COMBI at once.

Second thing - use jBridge to convert M50 plugin to 64bit version, if you're using 64bit system.

In case you'll not able to achieve full functionality, just post here, I'll try to help you online or something, but notice, that English isn't my first language ;-)

I had no contact with microSTATION editor, but M50 is little older, so if in M50 editor in "global" settings Korg put checkbox "send MIDI out of editor", I suppose you'll find similar in mS.

With korg microX I had the same problem (Sonar and Ableton), but I haven't found solution.

What "funnt" - there was NO PROBLEMS with Cubase 5.

And - I know it from my friend - there is NO PROBLEM on Mac - no matter if you use Ableton or Logic.

this thread works for me !! Adrian awsom !!
