  1. Midi Controller Stopped Working on Windows 10


    I have been successfully using my Novation Launchkey 49 with Ableton Live for the past few years. However, when I updated my computer with the latest Windows update 2 weeks ago, the Launchkey stopped working. In the device manager, the LaunchKey has a Code 10 device cannot start error message. I've tried plugging in the midi controller in every available USB port on my computer and I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the controller without success. Is there a solution to fix this problem?

    :)

  2. MIDI Controller Installation

    I have a very new Desktop Computer running Windows10. All up to date with plenty of juice (iCore7, graphic card, 5.1 speakers, etc.).

    I just bought an AKAI LPK25 MIDI Controller. Just a little keyboard with the intention of entering notes into Finale (music notation software).

    In the device manager under the Device Manager, under Sound, video, game controllers it is listed

    AMD High Defintion Audio

    HD Webcam C615

    LPK25

    Realtek High Defintion Audio

    When I open the Realtek Audio Mixer it looks like the LPK Editor is listed along with Melodics which software for training using on a MIDI Controller.

    Now I know I have sound. Groov Music player works, iTunes works, Melodic software works....

    BUT NO SOUND FROM THIS LKP25. I can't figure out the problem. Any ideas?

    I posted this under gaming on a Windows 10 computer because it seemed like the closest category where I would find someone that could help. Thanks.

  3. Windows 10 Midi Keyboard not working

    Here is some more detail on what I did to solve the issue.

    First I connected all of my midi devices at once regardless of it they work or not. I did this so device manager shows me what is really going on in the next step. I have quite a few devices doing midi or usb.

    Second I started control panel, went into device manager, changed view to show hidden devices and expanded down the sound, video, and game controllers. I right clicked and uninstalled any midi devices that were grayed out
    and had a non-grayed out duplicate, right before doing this make sure to unplug the devices your having issues with, windows will warn you to do so. This removed quite a few devices as windows
    installs a new one every time a device is plugged into a different usb port is used even if it's the same device.

    Third, I checked the Unistall Korg midi-device utility. You can get this from korg's website and it installs as part of their usb driver. It works even if you don't have korg devices and you can uninstall after you fix things. When I ran the installer
    I verified that I had free midi ports below port 10 after the clean up from step 2. Before step two my problem devices were getting assigned midi ports in the high teens/low 20's.

    Fourth, I plugged in the problem devices and turned them on letting them reinstall. I then again ran the korg uninstall midi-devices utility and verified the problem devices grabbed a midi port under 10 which they did, for me I had three problem devices.
    I verified all the problem devices now work.

  4. Midi Controller Stopped Working on Windows 10

    Are there any usb midi controller (music keyboards) that are supported by Windows 10?

    I'm trying to find a new midi controller that will work with Windows 10. My current music keyboard (usb midi controller M-Audio Oxygen 8) no longer works with Windows 10, and there seems to be no way of making it work. Which ones on the market are compatible
    with Windows 10?
