I know this thread is awful. I am SORRY, denizens.

I didn't give up. I uninstalled all MIDI devices and started over. I was able to finally see the Korg in Ableton.

I am back to where I was a couple of years ago. I can use the Korg as a dumb MIDI input device.

It is a Korg Minilogue XD. I would be open to what you are proposing.

Q: what Korg are you using and do you want a bunch of VST Korg synths?

I appreciate that. I think honestly right now, nothing sees the Korg EXCEPT for one particular saved session I have in Ableton. I can't replicate whatever that one session is doing. The simple Midi tester program I have doesn't see anything. I should just start documenting what I have and how I have it setup.

I did uninstall and reinstall the Korg drivers last night. Had a great Windows crash in restarting that only Windows can do that I took a video of.

Dude legit I bet my sister can help you trouble-shoot some of this. She works with much the same "gear" as the hipsters say.

When you buy things from Amazon you gotta scroll all the way over, sometimes it cuts off the whole title.

The whole title is "KeyStation Mini32(out of 100)

Way cool! Will there be mp3 uploads?

I installed Mixcraft and I'll make a solo tune with it.

Ok, through no roughness of my own, the USB connector on the KeyStation Mini32 broke off. I'd need to get a screwdriver out to fix it. Probably going straight in the trash. Ohhhh boy. All I want to do is make music like I did on the Tascam03 cassette recorder I had 30 years ago.

Okay, I can't even describe how shitty Ableton is. It is stopping me from making music because of how shitty it is.

Downloading Mixcraft. My bandmate has a Mac, so I am sure I will waste everyone's time with this, or it will cost me $200 to register a copy. But there is no fucking way Ableton is as good as it gets. It does not act in a consistent manner from MINUTE TO MINUTE.

Tryin' to get the simplest keyboard possible, the Keystation Mini32, workin' in ole Ableton!

Absolutely DOES NOT FUCKING WORK, of course!

Haha. I am going to use Mixcraft after getting something working here.

Nice! Going to put that wav. file here?

I recorded a progression of three chords tonight. D, G and then A. It took a half hour, but I got it.

Or even longer. I just had an interesting thought. Consider the following: someone downloads a copy of Windows from Microsoft's website, then installs it in a virtual machine under QEMU or Virtualbox (or uses a pre-built virtual image), installs the Mixcraft software, without starting it, shuts down the virtual machine, creating a frozen image of that virtual environment, makes a copy of the image with the additional software, then spins it back up, and runs the software for the first time, now beginning the 7 day free trial. All work is saved regularly to external disk: a real device like an SD card and reader, Jump Drive, or portable hard drive. On the 7th day, save all work, shut down and erase that virtual machine, copy the original virtual machine image, spin it up, then go right back and start Mixcraft for the first time, beginning a new and different 7 day trial, load your files from external storage, then lather, rinse, repeat.

Mixcraft. I believe they are up to 9.something now. Download it from their website snd try it free for a week. Im stull using 6.0 because the rest is all bells and whistles, engineers justifying their jobs.

Edit: version 10.0 is out. That's nice.
