Win7 X64 No USB MIDI Ports - Solved
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 2:25 pm
Lots of folk seem to have this problem, so I give my short solution based on a number of other threads.
Go to Control Panel and uninstall the KORG MIDI driver tool. After installing the latest MIDI driver tools from the KORG support pages, run 'Install KORG USB-MIDI Device' with the KORG instrument or controller connected.
When the successful installation is confirmed, start up a DAW and check that the USB MIDI ports are available. If not, run the Uninstall KORG USB-MIDI Device.
This will display all of the installed MIDI ports in Win7.
I found four 'corrupted' drivers. Delete the corrupted drivers and ensure that no more than 10 other drivers are installed.
Run 'Install KORG USB-MIDI Device' again with the KORG instrument or controller connected.
Finish the program. Run 'Uninstall KORG USB-MIDI Device' again and ensure that the KORG driver is in the last entry (and in position 9 or less) and, if so, cancel the program.
Try the DAW again and the KORG MIDI ports should now appear.
If this is all old news, forgive me. I have just bought a padKONTROL and I don't want anyone else to panic as much as I did!
