[ ] Restore OS and factory sounds
If for some reason the OASYS will no longer start up
normally, try this option first. It does the following:
• Restores the system software on the internal hard
drive.
• Initializes the internal memory, and re-loads the
original factory preload data–including all
Programs, Combinations, Drum Kits, Wave
Sequences, and Global settings.
• Erases all files inside the internal hard drive’s
FACTORY directory, and then restores the factory
preload files, including the PRELOAD.PCG file and
the demo sequences.
This function requires all four CDs.
[ ] Restore factory sounds
This option restores the factory sounds, settings, and
demos in memory and on disk, as described under
Restore OS and factory sounds, above.
Unlike Restore OS and factory sounds, however, this
option does not replace the operating system.
This function requires CDs 1/4 and 4/4 only.
[ ] Initialize Internal Memory
This option erases all of the Program, Combination,
Drum Kit, and Wave Sequence data in the internal
memory, leaving only blank data. The factory preload
data is not restored.
Unlike the previous two options, Initialize Internal
Memory does not affect the data stored on disk in any
way.
This function requires CD 1/4 only.
[ ] Format HD, and then restore OS and factory
sounds
This option completely erases the internal hard drive,
and then restores the operating system, the factory
sounds and settings, and the demo songs, as described
under Restore OS and factory sounds, above.
IMPORTANT: Normally, you should not need to do
this–and you should avoid using this function if at all
possible. Always try using the Restore OS and factory
sounds option first.
However, if for some reason the internal hard disk has
been completely corrupted, and using Restore OS and
factory sounds does not fix the problem, this will
allow you to restore the hard drive to its initial state.
This function requires all four CDs.
IMPORTANT: after using this function, you will need
to re-authorize the OASYS, as described below. You
will not be able to use the OASYS until the re-
authorization is complete.
Re-authorizing OASYS
OASYS uses a Digital Rights Management system to
protect its proprietary components. After formatting
the internal hard drive, you will need to re-authorize
the system before it can be used. To do so:
1. After using the “Format HD, and then restore…”
function, turn off the OASYS.
2. Wait 10 seconds, and then turn it on again.
At start-up, the LCD display will show a “Public ID.”
This is a unique identifier, like a very specific name; it
is different for each and every OASYS.
The Public ID is 16 characters long, and uses only the
characters 0-9 and A-F.
3. Write down the Public ID. Make sure that you’ve
copied it accurately.
4. Turn off the power.
You’ll need to complete the authorization process
before using OASYS any further.
5. Go to http://www.korguser.net/oasys/, and follow
the instructions for re-authorizing.
or:
If you do not have internet access, please contact
your Korg dealer or distributor.
When contacting your Korg dealer, let them know that
you need to re-authorize your OASYS, and give them
the Public ID you wrote down in step 3.
You may also contact your national Korg distributor.
You can find contact information for all Korg
distributors, world-wide, on the Korg website:
http://www.korg.co.jp/English/index.html
After you have contacted your Korg dealer or
distributor, Korg will provide you with the necessary
authorization data, along with instructions for
completing the authorization process.
After following the instructions, your OASYS will be
re-authorized and ready to use.
