Korg Forums

Hi,
I'm new to this forum - so "hello" to all of you. I'm in Thailand and purchased the Korg K61p. I liked it because it's light weight and easy to carry around. I immediately checked it out as controller for my alesis micron and a roland sp 2. Everything worked fine and I was looking forward to play some gigs with it.

After I installed all required drivers and the editor I connected it to the computer. Also no problem here, but once I opened the editor and wanted to transmit some presets to it. I got the message "K-series not connected". I pressed the transmit buttom several time and always the same message came up.

I still could use it on my sequencer programm over the usb cable. With the adapter and the midi cable I get midi errors all the time.

The computer doesn't recognize this unit anymore, no matter what I do.

After that I was trying to connect to the alesis micron and the roland sp-2 and even there nothing was happening. I checked the midi channel several time, all on channel one, but still nothing. Before it worked fine, I mean before I installed the driver for it. Now it is pretty useless to me.

So I went to the shop, where I baught it and suprisingly enough, a brand new Korg K61p first connected to a sound module and then to the alesis micron worked fine - but after installing everything on the computer the sales person got the same problems, that I just mentioned above. After installing it couldn't be used as controller for the alesis etc.

He send this unit to Korg Bangkok, but said allready, there will be little help from them, they probably going to exchange with a new unit.

But that all doesn't help the problem. I would love to find out why this controller is not working. So far I never had any problems with Korg instruments. I sold my trinity to get this controller and I'm a little disappointed. Hopefully there's someone out there, who could help me.


Thanks a lot

I have the exact same problem.

I don't have a K series controller, but I figure that it worked like the PadKontrol and I checked the manual....
