The PlugSE is designed to serve as a bridge between the host and the synthesizer and in principle the KingKORG should be connected directly to the PlugSE via MIDI. By default, most of the VST hosts are set to grab all MIDI ports on startup and this may create a connection problem for PlugSE users.

If you are using a Windows PC many MIDI interfaces including KingKORG USB MIDI are not multi-client - this means that ports can be opened and used only by one application at a time. It also means that in practice, after you start the host application the host may first access and open MIDI ports that your synth is connected to and prevent the PlugSE from accessing the same ports later on.

Here is what you should do:

• Start Cubase session.
• Go to Cubase Studio Setup/MIDI and set both  KingKORG USB MIDI IN and USB MIDI OUT to Inactive.
• Run KingKORG PlugSE Intrument type plug-in.
• Go to PlugSE MIDI Setup and select  KingKORG USB in and out. At this point you should have it ON-LINE.
• In Cubase, select MIDI track and configure  KingKORG PlugSE for track's input (if you using KingKORG keyboard to play notes) and output.
• Go to PlugSE MIDI Setup and select KingKORG USB in and out. At this point you should have it ON-LINE.
