microKONTROL - Low Power?

[Dan_Bell]

So I've just hooked my microKONTROL upto my laptop, and the midi controller won't work, and says low power on screen, anyone know a way round this?

thanks.

It sounds like your laptop can't supply enough electrical power via the USB port. Is your laptop plugged into an electrical outlet when this happens, or only when you are running using your laptop battery?

I would suggest calling Korg Product Support, but you might end up having to buy a power supply for the microKontrol.
