Korg Krome USB Midi not working

Post by MacBad »

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed the USB MIDI Driver (1.14_R12) succesfully (I am using Windows 7 64 Bit). But when I start Cubase (5.1), there is no midi connection beetween the Krome and Cubase. I also check midi input with the program "Midi-Ox" and this programs says, there is no midi input from Krome.

So I think the driver doesn't work correctly. But what can I do now?

SOLVED

I have found out that Windows can only assign 10 Midi entries. So in the past I used different midi connections so I was round about 14 entries. The result is that you have to delete unused midi entries over the registry (regedit), then restart the system and connect again. It works.

This is a super annoying and dumb limitation. Supposedly it's finally addressed for Windows 10. The Korg driver installs with a removal utility that lets you remove unwanted or corrupted midi drivers. Just uncheck the box "Korg drivers only" in the options.

You're right. Didn't realize that this it is also possible to delete non Korg entries over that tool. And quite easier...

I´m new at this. How do you "delete unused midi entries".

The Korg MIDI drivers need to be installed first, then try:

Start | Programs | Korg | KORG USB-MIDI Driver Tools | Uninstall KORG USB-MIDI Device

The uninstall utility that opens has an option box that, when un-checked, allows the user to uninstall non-Korg MIDI devices.

I'm in exactly the same boat, tried everything, uninstalled, re-installed, shows krome in the device manager, used OX-MIDI windows 7 basically can't find it anywhere but the device manager, swapped USB cable everything, factory reset the krome :/
