Loading Korg SV-1's Operating System
From time to time, Korg could release a new version of the operating system, that can be freely
downloaded from one of our web sites. Here is how to load it into your SV-1.
1. Before loading the new operating system, please connect your SV-1 to a personal computer
via a standard USB cable.
2. If it is not turned off, turn your SV-1 off.
3. While keeping the FAVORITE 1 and FAVORITE 8 buttons pressed, turn the SV-1 on. Keep
the two buttons pressed, until the FAVORITE buttons 1 and 2 will light up.
4. Press the FAVORITE 1 button, and it will start flashing. After a delay (30 seconds or more),
the "KORG USER" drive unit should appear on the desktop of your computer. This is the
area of the internal memory reserved to system updates inside your SV-1.
5. Copy the "sv1.pkg" file (that you downloaded from one of our web sites) into the "KORG
USER" drive unit (i.e., into the SV-1).
6. When the copy operation has ended, please eject the "KORG USER" drive unit from your
computer, and wait until the drive icon has disappeared from its desktop or list of drives.
7. After the drive icon has disappeared, press the FAVORITE 1 button again, to make it stop
flashing. After a few seconds, all the LEDs around the DRIVE knob will start flashing. This
means that the operating system is loading.
8. Wait until all the FAVORITE buttons will start flashing. At this point, the operation is com-
pleted. Turn the SV-1 off, and then on again.
Installing the SV-1 Editor
After having updated the operating system of your SV-1, also download and install the latest
version of the SV-1 Editor, you can find it on one of our web sites.
Instructions on how to install the SV-1 Editor are in the SV-1 Editor Guide supplied with the
software (in the "Accessory Disk" CD coming with the instrument) or downloaded from one
of our web sites.
