Answer to this problem

Post by Jaap »

My dealer has contacted Korg and received the answer that Apple changed something in the OS, and Korg has to update the driver because of this. No answer about when this wil happen. Too bad, because for months I can't use the audio interface with my Macbook Pro.

Yes, same status as discussed in Feb.

The other option is to buy a separate audio interface. Since I don't have multiple keyboards, I would prefer not to. Would be nice if Korg updated us of some progress , even if they can't get it done. Then we could go to plan B

One year after the previous post... this problem still exists, even with the latest Korg Mac USB drivers (1.2.3 R14, from February 2018)

I just tested it with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 to give it a try - because sometimes miracles happen ;-) Not this time! :cry:

Only solution will still be to finally upgrade to HighSierra :roll: - except anyone found a workaround? Maybe?

Apart from that: Can someone please confirm that this usb audio problem does not exist anymore in MacOS HighSierra?
Greetings, Birlie

As far as i know Korg drivers are usb-midi drivers , not audio drivers
So I don't understand how the latest versions could change anything ?
We miss good and specific Asio drivers.

I don't know about HighSierra

Birlie2K,


I can confirm that the problem was fixed in High Sierra, quite some time ago. I had mentioned in another thread recently that it was fixed long enough ago that I had completely forgotten there was a problem. Upgrade to High Sierra, I'm sure you'll find it rock solid!

I can endorse these findings as well.... :)

High Sierra 10.13.2 seems to have cured previous problems.
