Hi there,
I just wanted to know if anybody else is experiencing the same problems as I do, notably the Korg Digital Edition M1 crashing Live the moment I try to launch it, This is absolutely repeatable. I have everything up to date, LIVE 5.03, latest Syncrosoft drivers (not using a Hub for the dongle), audiocard drivers etc.

It seems there are a few VSTi's which give LIVE a hard time. CPU usage is another concern here. A test project I set up and played with, which includes 1 instance of Stylus RMX (1.5c, 3 channels in use with 1 Delay as a send FX for 1 of the channels), 1 Evol VSTi, 1 Live Audio track (Bass guitar) and 2 MIDI tracks routed to an ext. synth + 2 Comp. (on the Bass and RMX) giving me around 55% CPU usage. I don't think that previous versions were so demanding on my PC. My system specs are as follows:

AMD XP 2200+|Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (KT333)|1GB RAM|RADEON 7000 VE/64MB-Dual Head|19"+17" CRT|4xHDD's each on its own IDE/ATA controller|
Samsung 308B CD-RW/DVD|LG GSA-4163B DVD Burner|WinXP Pro/SP1(Dual Boot-DAW+NET)|DELTA 1010LT|BCR2000|Reason 3.04|Live 5.0.3|

So if anybody is experiencing M1 crashes or has some tips on reducing CPU load, I'd appreciate any hints.

Regards
Raphael

M1 works fine here....

thanks mate,
seems strange though. My system is also very clean (rebuild not long ago) and streamlined, maybe I've taken out/uninstalled 1 element too much?
It works every where elso though, standalone, energyXT, Tracktion 1.6.....

Will see with KORG then if they know anything.

I can report the M1 and Live 5.03 are functioning fine on my system ...



Try the following:

Close all applications.

Disconnect dongle and reboot system.

Download and install the latest version of Syncrosoft LCC available from www.syncrosoft.com/downloads (version 4.9.8.1 is the latest and greatest version available - well for this week anyhow).

Reboot / Reconnect dongle when desktop appears.
(If on Windows wait for a moment to see if Found New Hardware wizard appears - ensure you follow the steps of this Wizard if so!).

Cheers

Hi Jasefos,
I have done what you suggested, downloaded Syncrosoft LCC again, reinstalled, rebooted and still the M1 won't launch. There must be another problem on my system then I guess,
but it's the only VSTi causing me trouble, Wavestation and MDE-X loading fine.
Will continue to analyze my system and see if I can pin down the error.

Thanks for your help

sorry for replying late, but I've been away a few days and didn't have time to check back here.
