Kronus USB output to Sonar stopped

Hi all.

This past week for some unknown reason my Kronos can no longer be used as a controller with Cakewalk. It can receive MIDI output from Cakewalk fine, but MIDI output seems not to be happening. The MIDI input meters are not registering in Cakewalk, but the driver seems functional.

Any pointers on what might have happened. What settings should I be looking at?

There was a Cakewalk update this week that might have caused this but I doubt it.

Thanks in advance!

Another possibility is a Windows update. They have a long history of breaking the Korg MIDI drivers. Search this forum for threads on that topic.

A few suggested threads:

If you have other MIDI programs (like MIDI-OX) they can tell you if the driver is delivering MIDI data from the Kronos.

I have the last version of Cakewalks Sonar Pro before Bandlab took it over.

I just tried it and have no issue receiving from my Kronos after the last windows update.

Kronos 3.1.3
Win 10 20H2 latest updates installed.

I saw your post in the Cakewalk forum about this, but didn't reply because I don't use USB for MIDI from my Kronos. Been doing 5-pin DIN for too many years to trust such newfangled technology!

Did you ever resolve this?

No. Had to fall back to a hardware midi port fto get midi input. Midi output to the USB driver works fine.
