Over the past few months, I’ve been trying lots of MIDI controllers on my Windows computer. Then last week, when I tried a new MIDI controller, the Korg microkey2 Air, it didn’t work on my computer. My DAW, Cubase couldn’t detect the MIDI controller as an input. Even Windows wasn’t able to recognize the controller when I plugged it in.
- Here is a quick guide to how you can get the Korg USB MIDI driver to work on your Windows 10 PC or any previous version of Windows if you are having problems.

- Midi Control is the only midi controller on Windows Phone to offer such variety and multi-touch support. Inspired by TouchOSC, the interface is as simple as possible and was thought for future customization. In order to connect the app to your computer, you will need to get the DSMI server.
Initially, I thought the MIDI controller was faulty but having tried it on my iMac, the MIDI controller worked. I figured the problem must be with the setup on the Windows computer.
IMap TM software included for easy mapping of MIDI functions Firmware upgrade available simply via USB connection and iMap TM software Class-compliant with Windows XP, Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit) and Mac OS X.
So I dug in a little and tested all sorts of configurations on my Windows laptop. After 2 frustrating hours of installing, uninstalling and troubleshooting, I finally found the answer to my underlying MIDI controller problem.
You can only use up to 10 MIDI ports on a Windows computer
It’s ridiculous to be only able to use up to 10 MIDI devices on a Windows computer (Never had such a problem on a Mac). But then again, I don’t think we have a choice otherwise.
Fix – MIDI Controller Not Working in Windows DAW
Bottomline is, you have to uninstall any redundant MIDI device in your Windows system that isn’t in use anymore to make space for MIDI drivers that you want to use.
There’s a software to uninstall MIDI drivers, download it here: Uninstall Korg USB-MIDI Device tool
Watch the video below to see how I fixed it
