Korg Kronos USB MIDI input not recognized

[Fraser Hutchinson]

Hi all.

 

I have been using a Korg Kronus as my main controller for a while now. Since earlier this week (around the time I installed the latest upgrade) cakewalk no longer recognizes the MIDI input from my Kronus USB driver. MIDI-OX sees the input as does Reaper.

When I enable input echo on a track assigned to the Kronus input,normally the faders display the MIDI input.  Nothing displays in Cakewalk. MIDI output works fine.

MIDI input is enabled in the device settings.

Any ideas on what has happened here?

 

Thanks in advance!

What do you see as the input source for the MIDI track? Does it give the name of the USB driver there, or is it set to None? Is the driver listed in the dropdown list of input sources? How about the list of devices in Preferences?

Did you try uninstalling and re-installing the Korg driver yet?

You don't have it plugged into a USB hub, do you?

Could it be a MIDI driver mode issue?

If the driver mode is set to UWP, try MME.

I guess the OP lost interest....

I experienced the same issue but have resolved it. It is a Windows 10 quirk.  Go to:  (5476) How to get the KORG MIDI USB Driver to work with Windows 10 - YouTube channel: Tim Shoebridge. the midi drivers need to be located in the first 10  or Windows or Cakewalk doesn't see it. Now I have input but I can't hear it, I want to route the output through my Audiobox to my monitors but I can only hear the Kronos through the Kronos headphone jack, I'm sure there's a fix for that too.

Welcome to the forum.
You can't get MIDI through an audio output.
You need to plug the audio outputs of the Kronos into your Audiobox, set up an audio track in Cakewalk to "listen" to that input, and/or to record it.
Or you can Insert a software synthesizer, set output of the Kronos MIDI track as the input of that soft synth. and the output of the soft synth to an audio track to the Audiobox.
