MAC:Software:KORG X50 Editor v1.0.5_633660016471710000.dmg
 

Editor Version 1.05 / Plug-In Editor Software
This software allows you to edit the microX in a stand-alone operation, or it can run as a plug-in editor in an AU, VST or RTAS environment.

This is Version 1.05. This is a newer version than the one that was included on the CD-ROM that came with your microX. The processing time to search for the MIDI port connected to the microX is shortened. This editor was successfully tested under Mac Universal Binary and also on Windows Vista using a PC with dual processors.

Note: The plug-in versions work properly with host applications that support Windows Vista. (August 1, 2007)

Note: You must uninstall any previous versions of the microX Editor software before you attempt to install this version. Windows users can uninstall using the regular Windows Uninstaller; MAC users must download the Uninstaller file below.

Note: You must install the KORG USB-MIDI Driver if you want to connect the microX to your computer via USB and use the microX Editor/Plug-In Editor.

A manual for the software is also included as part of this download. Due to their similar voice structure, the microX and the X50 share the same manual for their editor software. So don't be alarmed and think that you have the wrong manual!

There are two downloads, one for WINDOWS XP/Vista and one for MAC OS X 10.3.9 or Later
