Ableton Live on macOS Catalina - Kronos USB?

Post by MIDI_1984 »

I am trying to evaluate Ableton Live and I've removed the Korg USB Midi driver as per Korg's support pages using the uninstall tool.

Does the Kronos connect to Ableton Live on macOS Catalina (10.15.6) via USB for Midi and Audio? I'm just getting started and I don't want to go crazy trying to figure it out only to find out it doesn't work. ;-)

Thanks!

Although I use Cubase,my understanding is that Ableton Live may not be compatable with Catalina 10.15.
This is based on current google searches etc.
However,as the information source is fairly old, it may now be possible without any problems.

Trial & error tests may reveal these, but in practice it is safer to avoid the update and continue to use an os that is proven to work.
I’m still using Hight Sierra 10.13.6 and will continue to do so.
There may be members that have had successful set ups with Catalina, though.

The Kronos is class compliant and the usb connection should work with most Mac Operating Systems,
with or without the Korg midi driver.

A multi boot system may help if you really need to use Catalina for general computing.
