    Don’t get me started on Korg software 🤦

      Haha! I was not prepared. I got an NTS-3 recently, and Korg’s own software wouldn’t recognize it if it wasn’t in the first ten MIDI devices in Windows. I had to delete MIDI devices until it got low enough on the list. The 10-MIDI device limit hasn’t been a thing for, uhh, decades? I was planning on coding some LogueSDK, but the initial experience has killed almost all desire I have to do that anymore.

        Do you mean USB devices? Because yeah, that’s a Korg thing. Removing the devices doesn’t work for me, I have to delete the data with a 3rd party program, then connect the Korg as one of the first 10 devices while my usb hub is in the back of my synth tower. Next time I boot up my pc, all usb devices are mixed again so big chance the korg is number 23 or something again, making me redo every step. This is why I never have my Minilogue XD updated or why I change banks or effects on it.

          Oh shit, really?!? I thought it was USB MIDI devices, not also any USB devices… I only did it the once to update the firmware on the NTS-3. Whelp! Guess I won’t be coding any LogueSDK anytime soon if I’m not even going to be able to transfer the results to the machine without a huge pile of hassle. Kinda baffling anyone is coding for it.

            Yeah, in the 3rd party program I also see my mouse, keyboard, Webcam, headset, external sound card, Bluetooth dongle, etc listed which I need to remove to get my minilogue within the first 10 devices. I just don’t bother anymore, I live with the onboard digital oscillator and effect presets and won’t change any of those. The machine is awesome though, wouldn’t change it for anything. But the software support is so shit I just don’t use it anymore haha

              Weird they’re forward thinking enough to let people code oscillators and effects for their synths, but so backwards as to make the software you have to use to get access to those synths horribly out of date and painful to use.

                The Japanese are weird. Especially Korg. Their machines always have been quirky, weird and counter intuitive. Really cool though. But weird AF. Their machines are getting more intuitive, but their software is lacking behind.
