The first part is to allocate an alias to the Korg driver. So to get it working you have to do some changes in the registry to get the Korg devices below channel 9, and then the drivers will work. To check your Korg midi setup run the Uninstall Korg USB Midi Device app (this will be installed as part of the Korg drivers and will not actually un-install the driver if you cancel it).Īfter updating, it looked like this: with the Korg devices on channel 12 and 13 with channel 1 to 9 not used. The root of the problem is that Korg USB Midi driver will only work on the first 10 channels in Windows 10 (not to be confused with midi channels) so if Windows allocates the Korg device to a channel above 9 nothing will work with it. This fix will also work with previous version of Windows where you have the same problem. The drivers were all working fine and after a lot of searching and digging around in the registry I found the issue and have a fix. UPDATE: I have recorded a YouTube video showing how to do this.Īfter updated to the Windows Update (1903) my music and Korg apps would not communicate with the synths anymore. If you have already updated you should follow my fix. UPDATE: Korg say their driver is not compatible with the May 2019 Update. There are many other Korg devices use the same driver and on the 1809 version of Windows 10 everything worked fine.

Once connected your music apps can communicate with the Korg device, it is also used by the Korg sound editor tool. I have a Korg Minilogue synthesizer, which connects to a PC via USB. The drivers enable Korg devices to talk to Windows over MIDI via a USB connect for products like the Korg Kronos, microKey and other devices. Over the weekend I discovered an issue with the Windows Update and the Korg USB MIDI drivers.

UPDATE: This fix also works with issues with the Windows 10 November 2019 Update
