Thanks for the instructions. I made some presets myself on the synth, so I don't dare to update the firmware yet.
However, can you tell me how the new feature "display original value" works? Back in the day I reverse engineered interpreting the SysEx message to determine what settings are used in a preset. I wrote a Linux shell script for that. See Korg forum topic. Link to latest version on Pastebin.

The Sound Librarian works too so you should be able to back up your presets before risking the update.

I've not played about with it much yet. The only thing I've used from the update is switching off the oscilloscope to show the preset name - I cycle through presets with a foot pedal during DAWS-less jams and it helps me keep track of where I am.
Very cool. Thanks for that. I have seen your thread on the Reaper board about it. This really might work for a bunch of KORG devices now.
I have a half-broken KP3 without an update and made a thread about "unimplemented midi" functions in WINE (that was my speculation), because I couldn't update it.
Looks like something happened on the WINE midi front because now it goes further. The editor runs, the KP3 is recognized in USB mode and the midi driver got new name.
BUT, can't install the Korg midi driver (KorgBk64.Sys KORG USB Bulk Driver [x64]) which is needed to update. It wouldn't do it without. It wants admin privileges, so I tried a nasty thing and sudo wine it, but that didn't work. I am still investigating...
By the way, to my knowledge it's impossible to update the KP3 (not KP3+)on current Windows and MacOS (they didn't update the Updater for current OS versions because that's how they roll).
