I've just installed the japanese official released V1.0.1 system update successful on my eu microstation, which I bought 3 months ago new with V1.0.0 on it.

V1.0.1 was released in japan site on sept 9, 2010! and fixed 26 bugs.
member KORG2 has this V1.0.1 standard on his 2 months old microstation!

So I did some investigation and found it only in japan!

1) Download the " microSTATION_Updater_101_J1.zip " WIN file from:

click on Software / Updates at right side to find it MAC/Windows versions.

2) unzip the file => kmupdate.exe, microSTATION_V101.vsb, 2xpdf extracted.

3) connect Microstation with usb to your PC.

4) if this is the first time you connect it to your PC then install the KORG_USB_MIDI_Driver, I had the usb driver and microstation editor on my pc installed/working ok already.

5) from power off state, Push and Hold the buttons [LOCATE] + [REC] and then POWER ON the microstation: LCD will read: VERSION UP MODE Waiting...

6) Now click the kmupdate.exe , a KORG System Updater window pops up. Click the Update in this window to update your microstation to Latest Software Version: 1.16 = V1.0.1.

7) DON'T POWER OFF etc. during the update process! The Updater window and the microstation LCD will show when it is complete.

Power the microstation off and then on, LCD will now show V1.0.1 = update succesful!

9) Enjoy your 1.5yr delayed update microstation!

Thanks for the link. I updated, but not sure what exactly got fixed or added. So far I haven't been able to notice anything different. Maybe someone can translate the documents that came with this update? That would be helpful.

To anyone who's worried, none of my custom patches in Program and Combi mode got deleted with this update. The data from my memory card also loaded up fine as usual. My microSTATION does indeed say it has the updated system now when I boot it up, but I have no idea what this means, haha.

Thx its working now.

A great update is in the sequencer when you press record you can directly select overwrite or overdubb.

This was not first there or was it?

Interesting but is there a way to save 1.00 firware before updating to 1.01 ?

“microSTATION Editor/Plug-In Editor” v1.0.1 Release Notes (Mac)

Install the KORG USB-MIDI Driver before launching the editor software. The KORG USB-MIDI Driver can be found on the included CD-ROM; you can also download it from the website listed below. Please read the “operation guide” for details on how to install it.
The updater will be posted on our website, so please check back with us at http://www.korg.com/

• Additions and changes from v1.0.0 to v1.0.1
- The latest preload data
The included preload data now supports the latest microSTATION system version.
- PCG files created by the Export command (Utility menu)
Fixed the problem that had prevented PCG files created using the Export command from being loaded by the microSTATION itself.
- Swap Key Setup command (Utility menu)
Fixed the problem that had made the Swap Key Setup command not appear in the Utility menu.
- Copy Arpeggio Pattern command (Utility menu)
Fixed the problem that had prevented copying to ARP B using Copy Arpeggio Pattern.
- Various other minor bugs, display anomalies and functions have also been fixed and/or improved.

Notes
- If you make settings in your host application so that the microSTATION's MIDI IN port (microSTATION KEYBOARD) is used as the MIDI input of the host application, there will be a greater possibility of errors occurring while receiving or transmitting a MIDI data dump with the UTILITY menu Receive/Transmit command, or while executing a MIDI data dump that occurs when you load a data file. In such cases, we recommend that you either set your host application so that it does not use the microSTATION's port as its MIDI input, or switch the setting only when you're performing a data dump so that the microSTATION's port is not used during that time.
- The microSTATION Editor/Plug-In Editor doesn't notice the modifications of some operations using the microSTATION hardware. Please execute “Receive All” from the UTILITY menu of the microSTATION Editor/Plug-In Editor to load the whole data from the microSTATION after these operations.

- Load a data file in the MEDIA mode
- Press WRITE key
- Following MENU commands;

Copy Drum Kit

Known problems

- Pro Tools LE 7.x/8.x
In some cases, total recall fails to recover the data, and the data in the microSTATION itself is erased (initialized to InitData).
This problem can occur if the total recall settings (Global mode Software Setup) differ between when you saved and when you loaded.
If you've changed the total recall settings, close the session and start again with a new session file in order to minimize the possibility that this problem will occur. Even if this problem should make it appear as though the data in the microSTATION itself has been erased, the data in the microSTATION's memory has not actually been overwritten. Disconnect the connection between the microSTATION and your PC, and then power the microSTATION itself off and on again to recover the original data.

- Logic Pro 8.x/9.x
Since key operations from the computer keyboard will function as Logic Pro keyboard shortcuts, this produces the problem that numerical values or text cannot be entered from the keyboard into microSTATION Plug-In Editor. Please use mouse operations to edit parameters.

- Cubase 5.1.1
microSTATION Plug-In Editor is designed to prevent multiple instances from being run simultaneously, but when you attempt to start up a second instance in Cubase 5, the DAW will quit unexpectedly. Do not attempt to run multiple instances simultaneously.

- Mac OS X 10.5.8
On a Mac equipped with an Intel CPU, using microSTATION Editor's keyboard to play continuous glissandos for approximately 30 seconds may cause microSTATION Editor to quit unexpectedly. Do not continuously perform glissandos for an extended time.

Just want to check, is this Japanese update different type of update to the 1.0.2 editor software update on the korg website?
