I recently purchased the MS-20 synth VST for Logic. I have spent days reading on this forum and other sites, as well as watching videos but I cannot solve this one.
I have loads of VSTs/synths that register MIDI and notes inside of Logic (Serum, TAL, Kontact, etc.), but this Korg Classic plugin will not register.
What's happening specifically...
When I open the plugin and press my midi controller keys, I see them moving on the Korg piano roll but there is no sound.
Noted below the piano roll's drawn notes do NOT play sounds either.
In the same exact Logic file, the same MIDI controller OR piano roll notes do perfectly register.
Typical workflow for this...
- Create new track
- Select 'Software Instrument'
- Either choose empty instrument or select the MS-20FX (neither work)
I have already tested the following without success...
- I have used the piano roll to draw notes and this also returns NO sound, although the output is set to stereo out
- I have used a completely different piano and it yields the same results (works for any plugin except Korg)
- Yes, I have contacted Korg (haven't heard)
- When creating the software instrument I have tried with and without multi-timbral, since one tutorial for another plugin had success
- I have tried every single channel for the software instrument (All, 1,2,3,4,5,6...and so on). I've heard this is successful, but not for me.
- I have updated to latest version of Logic and MacOS
- I have reset MIDI drivers in Logic
- Have tried running 32 bit vs 64 bit in Logic
- Also have tweaked all the MS-20 plugin settings/presets
I can only guess there may be an incompatibility issue with this plugin or a specific setting (maybe MIDI?) that this plugin needs to function properly.
Any help would be incredible, thanks much!
