Korg Collection Update


After the last update of:

  • EP-1: 1.0.5 → 1.0.8
  • ARP-2600: 1.0.6 → 1.0.9
  • VOX Super Continental: 1.0.5 → 1.0.8

→ the ON/OFF parameter control no longer works properly with these plugins.

If you assign the FX1 enable parameter to a button, for example, you can switch the effect on or off once. After that it no longer works.
With the previous versions it still worked correctly.

David ran into a problem due to a faulty VMWare update.

Feedback from a Gig Performer user.

Apparently the newest Windows 11 24H2 update has created an Unknown Account under permissions (see photo).

From a quick search on the Internet this is a mess up from Microsoft’s part and many have this issue.

I have restored an old Windows 11 23H2 image, and all is well now!

Is it possible to just delete that account if it’s been created?

This guy just reverted to the previous Windows build. It caused permissions issues and therefore Gig Performer acted strange on reading/saving settings.

I guess one could try to remove it.

That worked for me.

I should have noted that I got several meaningless error messages that I had to click through, relating to the folders on my C: drive (the one with bogus user account) being in use. Since the bogus account was only attached to the C: drive main folder, no harm, no foul. It was removed following the advice in the linked post.

Interesting. I’ve done 7 installs of 24H2 on Win 11 Pro machines and haven’t come across that issue.

Windows April Update causes BSOD.
