USB Midi Controller not recognized by Mac?

hey there
I have just attempted to plug in my trusty Edirol PCR300 to my mac for the first time. It currently works on my PC
I installed the 2.0.0 driver as per instructions on Edirol website, rebooted, plugged in and turned on the device.
The device is recognized in the system profiler (about this mac etc etc Hardware > USB) however it is nowhere to be found on the midi page of the Audio Midi Utility. One would expect it to turn up here when i press Rescan Midi.... and needless to see it's not turning up in Logic and nor is it an input option on the PCR Editor software.
Obviously i've tried turning it off and back on etc etc.
Running the latest Lion, latest Logic and latest Edirol driver on a Macbook Pro i7 with 8GB RAM.
Any help would be appreciated, i've been trying to get this working for 4 hours now!

Hi Guys
I have a PCR connected up here, running OSX.7.3, it works fine:
It does need drivers, as discussed in my earlier post.
The OP's issue is probably down to incorrect driver installation, or possible some conflict with other MIDI drivers. If the OP has not solved the problem, I suggest using the Edirol driver removal software, and then re-installing the drivers.
(Always assuming that the keyboard does work OK on another computer, and that the cable is OK).

USB Host Controller not recognized by Windows 7.

Just installed Windows 7 in a1130n desktop. The USB Host Controller and the Std USB Host Controller are not recognized by the operating system. The USB ports and the media memory ports on the front panel will not work.

My HP Z400 is suffering from the same problem. Did you discover a solution?

Help with usb Midi controller on brand new machine! Please!!

I just unboxed my macbook pro 13" non-retina and updated to 10.9.1, installed a few of my apps, etc. I'm having a meltdown over my midi-controller not being recognized. It is a Roland A-49 USB Midi Keyboard controller that is not powering on. It runs off bus power just fine in my older 15" MBP and also from my '12 Mac Mini. When I pull up the system profiler, under USB it reads to me:
How can I get this working properly?

Hi there, been a viewer of the discussions here for a while & felt compelled to finally sign up to hopefully offer some help with this problem as I had exactly the same when I first got Logic Pro.
The problem is more to do with the sound setup than the controller keyboard as logic is sensing midi data as you have seen in the transport.
I would suggest firstly (Hopefully Pro & Express are the same in these respects) clicking on the Logic Express tab in the top left, then Preferences, then Audio.
In the box that appears select the Drivers tab. Then make sure that the Core Audio check box is ticked. Under that make sure that you output source is selected (ie your interface if using monitors, or built in Audio if not)
Hopefully this should help.
The simplest to test your sound is by clicking on the Audio tab (3rd or 4th along at top) & opening the Loop Browser, choosing a catagory & draging a sound onto a track.
Remember to click on the track you will be dragging onto to select it & in the Loop Browser Blue loops go onto audio tracks & green onto instrument tracks.
Now with testing the controler keyboard...
Click on an instrument channel, then goto the bottom left of the screen where you will see that channels fader.
Above the fader click on the I/O (you may have to click & hold here) choose either mono or stereo, then choose say the EXS24 & try you keyboard.
Hit * on the numeric keypad & play something, then hit space to stop & you will have your 1st region.
I hope this helps with you problem, Logic can be confusing at times but is worth sticking with.
Good luck

USB MIDI Controller no longer working after Logic 8 upgrade

Hello, my M-Audio O2 USB MIDI Controller worked brilliantly with Logic Pro 7 after simply plugging it in. I never needed to install any drivers or do any setup. Now, after upgrading to Logic Pro 8 it isn't recognized and does not work. Does anyone know what's going on and can anyone please give me some advice on how to fix this problem? Thanks

Go to Logic-Pro beside the Apple Logo at the top of your screen to the Left,
then Preference,
then scroll to Control-Surface settings,
now select set-up
From there delete and then reinstall your control-Surface, do it manually as the Scan doesn't work all the time,

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,

Do you have a wired USB mouse to try?
It seems to me that the drivers from the WIFI mouse is not of the correct version for the OS you are running on.
You may want to google for the correct drivers as well.
I have tried a wired usb mouse and that wont work either :(
There are only 1 set of drivers for the wifi mouse I have, checked on the manufactures website and the driver version is the exact same one as I have on disk. The mouse worked on my other pc with the exact OS
A ps2 wireless mouse works but that mouse has no range :(

Hi - I hope this helps. The problem may be hardware related in which case I can't help, but if not, try this.
Right click and delete both of the yellow mouse HID drivers in device manager. Then do a normal shutdown and Restart with the keyboard using Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Windows Task Manager.
This should force the system to reinstall drivers when it next boots.
You may find that a simple Scan for Hardware Changes also works after you have deleted the yellow drivers.
Another trick is to try the mouse in other USB ports - sometimes the system just gets confused and sets the device to a particular port. If it is put in another port it often can't find the device.
Good Luck
I have tried the wireless mouse in every usb port, also uninstalling them in device manager - all had no effect :(

Try the latest Bios: >>Beta BIOSes<<
I will check for a newer version as well right now.
Edit: .141 is the latest.
Might want to check for a firmware update for the usb device as well.
Edit#2: Install the ram properly and see if that changes anything. Locking this topic as it is a duplicate.

I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

Hello JETaylor2015,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

USB MIDI CONTROLLER- LOGIC PRO 7- I CAN SEE THE LIGHTS BUT NO SOUND OUT?

I just got logic pro 7.2 so i am very green, garage band automatically recognizes the usb midi controller and i can hear it,
in logic it recognizes it i can see the lights for sound levels but no sound is coming out, ive been trying to figure this out.

Heck, if loneliness is your thing... more power to ya!
now why cant i hear the midi
MIDI doesn't make a sound. You either need to assign a software instument to it or use an external device, all depending on the track you chose. If you, perhaps elaborate a little more as to what you did (typing with your caps lock released), there's a better chance of getting your problem solved. If you're hearing your recorded guitar, then there's a chance you selected the wrong type of track to record to as far as MIDI tracks go (there is a difference in Logic).

USB MIDI controller no longer recognized by mac (not even in System Information).

Hello!
I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e that I have been using with my MBP (early 2008 model) for a few years with absolutely zero problems ever. I recently bought a very generic Chinese MIDI interface ("Sanoxy" brand) to go between my full-size Yamaha and mac so that performances of parts into logic would be on weighted keys and such.
For a while I used both the MIDI interface with the Yamaha and the little 49-key MIDI controller (via USB and also powered by the USB) with no problems. I believe this problem occurred when I tried to use both the MIDI interface and MIDI controller on one USB port using a Targus external number pad (unpowered) that has two USB ports on it (bad idea I'm sure). I did this because my MBP only has two USB ports on it and I was using the other for my audio interface.
I have reset PRAM more than a couple times, reset SMC, cleaned caches (even though this could be done more thouroughly maybe with a recommended program besides Cocktail - trial is expired), even replaced AppleMIDIUSBDriver.plugin from my parents iMac which the MIDI controller still works on. All this and nothing. The keyboard is not recognized as even being plugged into the USB port on System Information even though the lights are on, much less AMS.
Any other information you need I'd be happy to let you know.
Super thanks!

ATP Photo Finder GPS not recognized on Mac as USB flash drive

Much like the problem with the Sony GPS-CS1, it appears the ATP Photo Finder device also will not be recognized as a flash drive on a Mac. Tiger worked with the Sony for awhile, but recent updates (as well as Leopard 10.5.x) have made it no longer work. There are other topics on the GPS-CS1 in these forums detailing those problems.
I picked up an ATP Photo Finder from My Discount Digital to try it out. It logs data, then you insert the memory card in to the device and it will GPS stamp the JPGs. It sounds like a great idea, but when it didn't work I was going to have to plug it up to my Mac and use PC software via Parallels to reprocess the images.
It is not recognized -- and under Parallels, a new USB device shows up simply listed as "U" under the pull-down menu. When I try to select it, it claims it is already in use. Methinks Apple Mac OS X is semi-grabbing the device but not being able to use it.
Odd.
So I post this in case others have the ATP Photo Finder and have problems... Maybe we can figure something out.

Well, here's an odd (and quick) self follow-up... I was reading an Apple Help file and it suggested looking at the System Profiler to see if the device is being recognized. Indeed, it showed the "U" and some garbled characters (so something is not quite right). It also showed it was plugged in through my powered USB hub. I bought this hub after running in to issues with devices that would not work plugged in to the iMac keyboard... On a whim, I plugged the ATP Photo Finder in to the non-powered USB port on the keyboard and ... it worked. It still shows up as U(garbled) but I was able to access it from the Mac Finder.
Interesting.
