Zero 8 software update available

[mikemolloyuk]

Hi Guys

Any of you with the Zero 4 and Zero 8 can now download the v1.50 software update. I have posted it on the Korg UK support site. It's Windows only for the moment and needs to be updated by firewire.

www.korguksupport.co.uk in the downloads section.

mike, any news on the issues and complaints reported by other fellow board members and me in the other topics?

[mikemolloyuk]

Nothing that I can report at the moment. Were not involved in direct product development here in the UK so there is nothing I can report until Korg Inc are ready to make any anouncements.

Why so negative on the Mac thing? I dont know if there is Mac software available. I dont develop the software. I'll post if |I know what is being developed.

i only see an update for the zero8.. i downloaded it anyway, but it didn't give instructions for how to update on the zero4 (since it doesn't have an "EXT" button)

[Superchibisan]

any idea if this update works for the zero4?

[firstaudio]

so i installed the new software update.
it did fix 1 problem for me, the cue balance in the middle is now loud'er'

but i still had the problem where the cue levels in general were too low.

the reason for that is, the cd/line gain can't be raised any higher than 12oclock because it starts clipping after that.

(the input trim doesnt fix this problem, since it defaults to 0 already)
i think i need a -3db , -6db etc to fix this problem.

then i still have the problems where the VU meters dont move at all (this could be related since, i can't increase the gain, since it starts clipping)

i wish the update would address these issues.
