Unlocking disc for sounds

If you contact Korg, they can send you a dowloadable link to burn the software to a disc.

It sounds like the drive isn't working correctly. i suggest taking it to a Korg authourized repair shop to get it looked after as they will have better access to the needed parts. You can find one in your area through this link-

The floppies in most of the music instruments are NOT quite compatible with the USB floppie emulators.

This I am afraid is going to be a real problem. The original 01WFD's were shipped with the single density (720Kb) floppy drives, not the easier to find 1.44Mb ones. You could try contacting Korg.

From experience I can tell you that while many of the drives have similar interfaces, the music companies often had drives that required special strapping in regards to the drive select. There are not many of the single density ones around anymore... you might find one in a computer recycler's archives.

Trying to use the common double density 1.44Mb disks in the Korg is NOT going to work either, and if you have tried this, that MAY be why you are having problems, and new floppy drive isn't going to fix the problem... The "artifacts" left by 1,44 formatting remain between the tracks when put into the Korg.

To get around this, you can try TAPING over the extra hole that 1.44 disks have AND most importantly magnetically DEGAUSS the disk and then reformat using the drive in the Korg.

Click on the round red dot nearthe top left of the page to download. This is the 01W document... it may not have the FD floppy but the power supply should all be the same.

Here: download in two parts...
