Hey there.. Ok - I struggled with getting my KX8 controller to work and then I managed to get it going. 1 - if you are using a USB interface for the controller, make sure your USB slots are recognized in the system profiler. 2. after installing the drivers for the KX49, go in to the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions" then reboot. I did that and my KX8 is working perfectly with Logic Pro 9.. Hope that solves your problem.

When you go into audio setup in the utilities folder, go under the window option at the top and open up your midi window and see if it is listed in there. If it's not there, then reason won't pick it up. If it isn't there, try and do a rescan in the midi window and see if it picks it up. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

stare19 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 OMG Finally got it working it's funny cuz i was browsing thru here and saw a thread with usb and iphone read it and this person in general was having the exact same problem as me (system profiler sees it but mac won't read it) so i did what he said do and installed the iousbfamilykext from the thread. my kx was half way working (was recognized but didn't want to send any midi data to my computer) and it took my wireless tenda adapter away than i thought hey didn't [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] come with usb drivers, i thinking (already installed them but if they're newer how come my kx49 got picked up on the older drivers) so i went into the system/extra/extensions folder and dragged the iousbfamily kext mod 9.9.9 into the kext utility after that i ran disk utility and repaired permissions. it when i clicked restart i got a dreaded kernel panic. but once i booted backup wireless is back on and my kx49 is running beautifully. wow that was a lot of typing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223343-need-help-with-midi/#findComment-1511319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
