I chanced upon this video after spending all day trying to investigate why my Korg Microkey midi keyboard had stopped working after installing the Microsoft Spring Update yesterday. Your succinct solution worked perfectly, first time. Many thanks..., you've helped solve the problem I was having. All the best, Rob.

Thanks a lot Ian !!! I love it when following such geeky instructions having no clue what I'm doing and the issue has just magically disappeared.

You are the man! Even with the new version of KORG drivers for W10 I wasn't able to make my Korg M50 work as a MIDI controller. Now is solved thanks to you.

Absolute legend! Thanks so much for this! I needed my nanoKontrol for a church service in two days and I was freaking out when I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Almost brought a new one haha

Even with the latest drivers I still had to do this whole process to get Cubase to recognize my nanoKontrol2. I never would've figured this out. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I was going crazy trying to get it to work after the Windows 10 update.

You absolute legend, this was really clear and easy to follow and fixed the problem perfectly. Thank you!

this helped my DAW recognize my Korg device when it wouldn't otherwise. THANK YOU

Yess thank you. I upgraded from my old Kontrol49 to a NI Komplete Kontrol MK2 keyboard. When I plugged in my old Kontrol 49 to make sure it all works before selling it, it wouldn't show up in my list of MIDI devices. Went through this step by step and now it's up and running perfectly.

I have to say that I`m happy that the world still has people with good attitudes! Thanks for sharing!!!

You are a saint. Was tearing my hair out trying to fix this and yours was the only advice that worked!

Thank you for this. It is sad that Microsoft and Korg have to make things so difficult so that you have to search the internet for solutions and watch KZread videos. Again thank you for posting this very helpful video.

Thanks a bunch! This fixed my issue too. And thanks to Korg too for thinking every musician has only one device connected.

Holy crap, you are a life saver. Literally searched for hours to find the solution, which is this video. Thank you. When I look at the Uninstall utility the midi ports have moved to the right places, but the names are prefixed by the word "corrupt". I can still play the keyboard though.... unless that is because the system defaults to using the standard driver rather than the korg driver... hmmm

Thank you so much! Haven't been able to get any work done all week because I was trying to figure out this problem. Your solution worked like a charm!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You solved the problem and I would never have figured it out myself. I cannot thank you enough!

Well done Ian. I've problem solved the 10 midi device limit in the past to get my Korg Nano Kontrol 2 working but this time it had me completely stumped. Thanks for getting me out of a fix.

Thank you for taking the time to share this! Got it to work! One change, Drivers32 had midi1 through midi 9 already assigned, so i set the value data to the korg driver on midi 9 as it was assigned to something I don't use anymore. Now my daw recognizes it.

I'm using an ancient Kontrol49 and it wasn't showing up at all in the uninstall tool. After following your steps and adding the relevant string values to both NT folders i got it working. Both ports are showing up in the utility as "corrupted" but it works. Thanks!

And used this instructions again to find and reconnect my drum machines driver, Ian you are a savior, thanks for sharing.

Worked like a charm! Thank you Mr. Dixon you are a genius!

still useful today, man i thought i was truly doomed, thank you so much!

Thanks so much for this. I just hit this problem with the latest Win10 update and my Korg Odyssey, and this fixed it (I had to edit the midi1 entry, since all the entries 1-10 were already in the registry), but it worked.

You're a hero. Such an easy fix. One thing worth mentioning is that "midi1", "midi2", etc. might already be present. You can just replace the value found there.

Hello, I'm from the future. Korg is still up to their midi nonsense. You and your video have saved the world. Thank you!!!

Well damn, here it is 2021 and I was having this problem. I had gotten my nanokontrol studio to work as a mixer with Premiere before but after not using it some months I got nothing, the pc would not recognize the nanokontrol at all. I looked at literally every video and forum on the internet and tried everything all day until I came to this video. One tip off was that the Korg will only work in the first 10 midi inputs. I don’t know what sort of sorcery you’re doing because I never, ever would’ve been able to figure this out except for this video. This is truly a lifesaver since I’m doing a mix for a client tomorrow and without this I would have had no fader controls. Thank you thank you thank you for putting this video out, you deserve a medal.

1903 messed up so many things for audio production. Latency is the biggest showstopper still, and since even gamers are affected, one would guess that a fix is coming soon. But it's already 2 months. Unbelievable. Anyways, you did an amazing job, though I have no idea how you found the culprits. It's like typing the right lottery numbers in the registry for me :) But it worked.

Nice one Ian. Your fix has got me the most results so far. I've got it so my DAW can now see my nanoKontrol2 in both Machine Control/Mix Mode and CC Mode BUT The KORG KONTROL Editor cannot see it. It says that the nanoKontrol2 in not connected ... That means that I cannot send my own CC settings to it. CC control of Plugin parameters is why I got it in the first place ... Why such a leading company as KORG can't update the software for the products it sells is beyond me. But thanks Ian for bringing me This far. Diving back in to see if reinstalling the Korg Kontrol Editor will make the connection now that this Alias busuness is in place.

Apparently I don't really Need Korg Kontrol Editor as Studio One can remap all the CCs coming in from nK2. It does mean I have remove whichever instance I'm NOT using from the External Controllers list though. Then reinstantiate it whenever I want to change to the other ... Could be worse ... Naughty Korg for not keeping their software up to date though.

It worked! Thanks you're a lifesaver
