the PX5D to your computer. For details on connec-
tions to your computer, refer to “Connecting to your
computer.”
*7 If needed, you can attach the included rubber feet to
the bottom of the PX5D.

13
Connecting to your Computer
If you use the included USB cable to connect the PX5D
to your computer, you’ll be able to use the editor soft-
ware to edit the PX5D, and transfer audio data between
the PX5D and your DAW software.
Using the editor software
The editor software lets you edit programs, manage data
libraries, and create chains for Rhythm & Bass mode.
You can download the editor software from the Korg web-
site (http://www.korg.com/). For details on installing and
using the editor software, refer to the owner’s manual.
In order to use the editor software, you’ll need to install
the KORG USB-MIDI driver into your computer. (“In-
stalling the software” in the included CD-ROM).
Transferring audio data
If you use a USB cable to connect the PX5D to your com-
puter, the PX5D’s effect output, the rhythm sounds of
Rhythm & Bass mode, and phrases you recorded in
Phrase Trainer mode can be recorded directly into audio
tracks of your DAW software. The playback of your DAW
software can also be monitored through the PX5D.
If you’re computer is running Windows XP, we recom-
mend that you install the KORG USB-ASIO driver (in
the included CD-ROM) into your computer if you want
to transfer audio using the USB connector. For details
on installing the KORG USB-ASIO driver, refer to “In-
stalling the software” on the included CD-ROM.
The following illustration shows the signal flow when
the PX5D is connected to your computer.

Adjust the master level setting to change the volume of
the audio signal that’s sent from the PX5D’s OUTPUT
jack (☞p.16 “Master level”).
Adjust the Utility mode “USBSEND” setting to change
the volume of the audio signal that’s sent from the
PX5D’s USB connector to the computer (☞p.35 “USB-
SEND”).
Adjust the Utility mode “USB RCV” setting to change
the volume of the audio signal that’s input from the com-
puter to the PX5D (☞p.35 “USB RCV”).
Normally, the signal that’s being input from the AUX
jack is not sent to the USB connector. If you want the
input signal from the AUX jack to be sent to your com-
puter, access the Utility mode “AUX > USB” screen
(☞p.35 “AUX>USB”).
If you’re recording the PX5D’s effect output onto an au-
dio track of your DAW software, turn off the “audio in
thru” function of your software to prevent echo-back.
For details on using your DAW software, refer to the op-
eration manual included with your software.
