Problem Fix: Korg nanoKontrol2 USB MIDI device not connecting to Windows 7, ProTools or Reaper
Музыка
THIS SHOULD WORK WITH ANY OTHER MIDI DEVICE PROBLEM OF THE SAME KIND
A vital fix for getting the Korg NanoKontrol2 to work in windows 7. A quick registry cleanup to let the new Korg driver be placed in high priority. Virtual MIDI ports are filled by previous devices plugged in and they need to be cleared.

Sorry about the poor editing (there is none!) I was using a new screen capture program and it didn't want me to do anything to fix it.

Hi Simon! Thank you so much for this video and keeping it up since 2012. A friend gave me a NK2 over a year ago and I have not be able to get it work until tonight. It was so refreshing to have an intelligent person go step by step in how to fix the problem. I also learned a bit about where my midi set up can be found and the Midi-Ox program will be very helpful in the future. Thanks again!
Wow...Found this seven years after posting but it still fixed my problem; you rock!
Almost 7 years later and you're a total savior. Thank you!!
Thanks mate! This still worked today and Happy 1k!
7 years later and this still helps! Thanks!
This was so helpful. The first solution to actually work for me (and I've been searching for quite a while). Thank you!
Your going into the registry and show EXACTLY where and then what to delete(I knew from reading that the 'midi count' was too large) fixed my problem with my Korg microKey2, the Korg Kontrol Editor(now it 'sees' the device') and UVI Workstation running on Windows 7, 64bit Home Premium. Well Done and many Thanks from Austin, Texas~!
You Sir, are an absolute LEGEND! Spent a couple of weeks searching forums to try and get my nanoKey2 working and nothing helped until I found this video. I'm using Window 10 which seems to keep re-populating the registry midi ports with the wdmaud.drv driver, but by installing the Korg driver immediately after deleting the wdmaud drivers, I've now got Ableton Live to see the Korg midi device. Thank you so much!
Your 2012 fix (so the Editor 'sees' the device) still works on my newly bought Kontrol2 in 2019 - Kudos!
I'll bet you never thought anybody would need this in 2022, but you solved a very frustrating problem for me. Thank you much!
I would donate to your paypal for you making this video. one of the only times I've been legitimately stumped with a piece of gear or software and was considering returning it because I couldn't find anything else on it. Super straight to the point, clearly laid out instructions. Thanks a ton, dude.
11 years later, still helping. Thank you so much. (tested with Korg microkey 25 on Win10)
YOU ARE A BEAST! I spent a good 12 hours trying to get my nanoPAD2 to work until I found this video. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for your help
Thank you!! Was directed here from some forum and got the issue fixed!!
Wow... This worked immediately. Thank you so much for posting this! Absolutely ridiculous that the nanoKontrol2 needs this much prep work though...
You are a legend! Thos worked for my Korg SV-1. Spent ages racking my brain!
9 years later, still helpful! on win 10 after deleting all the midi1-9 drivers as soon as I plugged in the nanokonrol it puts them back, but strangely after doing all in the installs and restarting, this doesn't matter and works a treat. Thanks!

Another 2 years later on win 10, I did it step by step, but after rebooting the Kontrol Editor still shows "not connected" for my nanoKONTROL2...😩

@@frankr.6578mine isn't working again because it has moved the korg down to slot 16 and it needs to be before slot 10. how has korg not fixed this bug it's mad! It's an issue for their new synths as well
Korg made this quite complicated...but you, sir.... You SAVED us all. Thank you SO much! It works perfectly!!!
Just want to say a HUGE thank you for this video. I just bought a Korg Nanostudio and was having this very issue. This video helped me solve the problem, and I'm good to go. Kudos!!!
Thanks a lot mate, still working 8 years later, subscribed
As Carwyn Henigan said: "Faultless" ! I was just about to return my NanoKontrol Studio, as I tried everything (almost), to get it to work with Sonar Professional, then I saw your video. "Thank You" very much for your time and help. I just programmed the rotaries and sliders on my DAW and they are working fine. Will program the rest of the buttons as soon as I get a chance.Thanks again and all the best....JC
Wooooooow, 2022, and this still helps! You are amasing!!!
You are a beautiful genius. This solution worked perfectly for the NanoKontrol 2 in Windows 10 for Mixcraft and Reaper
Merci beaucoup ! this man has been giving comfort for 9 years :)
Hi, I have spent 2 days trying to solve this. With your help I have achieved it! If you come to Pamplona, you have a beer!!
Thanks you so much. I was breaking my head for one entire night as it just wasn't working. Im glad you decided to put this video up for the rest of us. Cheers !
Thanks! I've been trying to sort this problem out for ages. Worked a treat.
nanopad not working after midi channel 10 was the info i needed. thanks!
Always good to help a brother! God Bless you in your ministry mate! :) and thanks for the kind words :) Simon
Thanks still helping out in 2019, for all on the new driver don't forget to start the KORG driver setup utility service
Jan 2020, and you helped me fix the same issue. Thank you so much. I contacted Korg after they refused to even reply to my support ticket, and sent them this information, as well as your webpage instructions, and other video with a working solution as well. You the man! They suck ASS! But I got my Nanokontrol2 working again. Thanks bro. You're a lifesaver!
Simon, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I spent hours trying just about everything and even Korg's tech support didn't know what to do. I had my doubts, but no more! You, sir, are a man among men!! Anything I can ever do for you just say the word. Thanks!!!
awesome ! it is the correct pace with out editing . i was able to follow pretty much in real time . i just had to pause because i have 2 korg kontrol lers , so i had to do everything twice . witch is probably how my problem started in the first place . thank you sir . true knowledge in an internet wasteland !!
Thanks for posting the fix. 2 minutes and I'm up and running.
thanks a lot! it did solve a similar problem i had with triton taktile midi controller. i think it was a better support than KORG themselves. thank you again.
Thank you! I succeeded in installing the Korg Minilogue because of you.
This video was my savior. I've tried for the last week to get my XD connected. Thank you!!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST! I'v tried for WEEKS to use again my KORG microKEY 37, and with this tutorial I MADE IT! Thank you so much!!! God bless you... Cya!!
Mate, you are the best! Referred to this a few times now for directions! Thank you!
thank you also worked a treat for my taktile controller, you're a life-saver!
brother i cannot thank you enough. you should be the head of customer support at Korg. 15 minutes on ur video fixed it compared to hours on their website and the net. you are the best.
You've just bought 12 hours of pain to an end! Jut got my Korg Taktile working because of this! Thank you! I'll subscribe to you youtube for that!

+Christopher Santamaria (Some Unknown DJ) Hello!!! You said it's working?! Thank you! Needed some confirmation here. Just got my Triton Taktile and wanted to update but nothing is recognizing the damn thing! >:(
Like everyone else, I list the better part of an afternoon before discovering your fix. Thank you thank you thank you
This solved my issue when adding a Korg Prologue, and a Radias :) Thank you so much!
It WORKED! #1 answer on the Web. I spent HOURS trying to figure this out. Even Craig Anderton said he was stumped on this one. Had same problem as Errick; I followed your instructions & KONTROL still didn't work. So, run MIDI OX first, then install KONTROL and you've got it. If you hav Win7 don't even try installing any other way than Simon's. You'll drive yourself nuts. Follow it step by step and you will be happy with the result. Thanks Simon I just subscribed. KORG-PUT THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE.
a BIG thank you man! Did something like this long ago on XP to make the AKAI LPD-8 being recognized.. but completly forgot how I'd fixed it. thanks for the help!
Thank you so much man, been racking my brain on this for the past few hours!!!
This is so cool! Thanks a TON! Midi-ox was in particular very reassuring!
Simon you are a legend!! Was ready to take it back, none of the other online solutions work but this did
I wish KORG would pay you for this! You fixed their product for them and saved my live show. thanks buddy :)
you sir are a champ. Been faffing about for over an hour and can now find the Radias in the editor. Thankyou!
Thank you so much ! Spent days trying to fix that and now it's fixed in less than 8 min :)
Simon, I would have never touched regedit before, it's just too intimidating. Mainly I don't want to screw-up my system, I'm kinda a newbie so keep the videos/tutorials coming. Definitely keep your good "step by step" approach, it's excellent! FYI, I've got all 3 KORG-nanos on a single hub running into Ableton 9. Finally, it's working great and I can make some music with them. Looking forward to your new stuff.
Amazing, this still worked for me in 2018! Thank you!
Thank you! Just fixed my 'new' NanoKontrol (Mk 1) on Windows 7 64-bit!
Thank you! This is Extremely helpful. Worked with my Minilogue
bloody fantastic job dude! spent about 3 hours doing the same thing over and over again trying to get the bloody thing to detect in reaper (nanokey2) so if anyone here is wondering, works like a charm on a nanokey2!
Holy handgrenade... MS has a midi-limit of 9 devices?! Smart!!! xD Thank you so much! 14 days of research without a clue what's wrong. Now I can finally use my "korg nanoKONTROL2" :D You are my hero! May the force be with you! =)
Thanks for posting this. Was having this exact problem, and thanks to you I've managed to sort it. A grateful tip of the hat to you sir. :-)
Thank you a lot for sharing this ! I put out my old nano kontrol and voila, it works with your method!! Thanks again! You are PRO!
I was already about to return my microKey2 when I saw this. Bless you
Mega Thanks!! :) I have two nanokontrol2's and your method worked a treat in cubase 5.1.
I've tried this on my PadKontrol installation and now it worked fine. Midi Registry on my Win7 is the main cause. Thanks for the help!
the trick still works today in 2022 with the korg minilogue XD. I removed all Midi entries from registry , then reinstalled the driver and then midi1 and 2 were pointing on the korg drv file. then it was detected in my VST plugins. thx a Lot
Thanks dude, I knew it was registry related i just didn't know where to look, my taktile works great now, cheers!
you are really really awesome bro!!! broke my head debugging this mystery...you did it few minutes....thanks a lot!!!!
I just bought a used M50, you really help me, thank you very much.
Wow man thank you so much!! You just saved another Korg's Nano from the clutches of another frustrated customer! Its working! Now I hope the rest of my drivers will work again as well..
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to provide help for this, but I have another angle...When I first plugged in the NK2 (without any Korg software installed), it recognised it fine as a class-compliant device and then proceeded to automatically download drivers from Windows update (actual Korg drivers, as it turned out). It was only AFTER I installed the drivers from the Korg website that it stopped recognising the NK2. So I uninstalled the Korg driver from "programs and features" in control panel, then removed it from device manager and let it re-install the first Windows update-retrieved driver. Now works fine. I think that possibly since you did this video, Windows update has included the correct driver in it's catalogue, so no need for the addditional Korg driver, in fact, it is positively detrimental! Cheers.

Thank you dude! I spent like 3-4 futile hours on this, and you helped me to fix it in 15 mins :) You're a champ!!
A BIG THANKS!! It worked! Got a bit scared when you said Regedit, but overcoming fear made it! Thanks!
BLESS YOU !!! Worked great on my KORG microkey air in 2019 on Windows 10. Godsend.
DUUUUDE. Thank you!!! I've been fighting with this for hours. I thought mine was busted. This also works as a fix for FL 11 too. You just have to rescan the MIDI, then ENABLE the Taktile. There should be two options. I enabled both. The biggest thing is make sure you are on Global and use the Control Scene. Thanks for the video.
it helped me perfectly and got my korg sv1 to work on windows 11 ( in 2024) thanks a lot
Hi, i just wanted to say thank you, this method really worked!! My windows 10 just wasent taking my korg sv1.
Thank you!!!!! After three irritating hours I found this video solving the problem. I had to delete up to four midi reg.
thank you very much!!! helped to update my nanokey studio! big hug form spain!
Thank you so much!! Looking for a solution the whole day and at the point that I would give up, I found your video. And the solution works!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!
This solution is simply faultless. NanoKEY2 arrived and did not work out of the box. Only wasted 10 mins farting around before tubing for a work around. Found this vid, followed your instructions and Presto... the bitch came to life. So many thanks for your help mate.
Thank you very much! After days of research finally a solution!
Work for me on Windows 10. I had over 20 MIDI devices installed in Regedit. I skipped over the familiar ones (like Push 2, which I'm still using) and deleted MIDI4-MIDI9, because they were all named something generic like "USB AUDIO". Plugged in my Nano Kontrol 2, re-installed the Korg USB driver, and now the Nano Kontrol 2 is visible in the editor software and Ableton Live for the first time. Thanks!
Had the same problem with my KORG Kross 2 the past year and it finally works thx m8
OMG thank you SO much for making this video. Very appreciated, and greetings from USA.
Thanks for the video,man !!! Just connected my Monologue !
10 years later and this is still the solution 👌 My driver was first installed to midi slot 10 at first, and therefore the Kontrol editor couldn't find my nanoKontrol2.
Fantastic mate fixed my monologue problem just brilliant.
I'm on windows 8.1 and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks!
Thanks a lot! Worked for my Korg MicroKey-37!
Thank you so much ! You make my day. Very efficient way to fix the KRONOS when it don't show in midi inputs in Pro Tools HD 10. Neat :)
Thank you! This was kicking my butt all day!!!
Fixed my problem! Thanks for the video, mate.
THANK YOU ! LIFE SAVER 1000 1000 1000!.. this also works with korg microkey 2.. at first it installed but it kept auto shutting off after 1 minute, then i installed new drivers and it stopped working completely.. now after this fix works perfect!
Thanks so much for this...can confirm that this method also works for Windows 10!
Great Post and Video, It couldn't be more straight to the point than that. saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you Simon !!! My products : Win 7 64 bit - Korg Taktile 49 - Reaper.
My friend, you are a genius! Thank you!! Worked like a charm. I think Korg should implement some kind of check in the installer showing an error message or warning or something, guess it's an excuse for the cheap controllers. Thanks again!
Thank you Dude. You made my night. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for your walkthrough, this worked for me!
Brilliant. Works for Windows 10 too. Thank you for saving me so much head scratching.
DUDE! thanks a lot, i have been looking for this for a while now. thanks again a blessings.
