drumlogue doesn't recognize a newly connected USB controller

TO DEVICE controllers need to be connected before startup.

Manufacturer documented

Fast answer

Connect the supported controller to TO DEVICE before powering on drumlogue. Restart it if you connected the controller after startup.

Try these checks

  1. Confirm that the controller is connected to TO DEVICE, not the computer-facing TO HOST port.
  2. Save any work before restarting drumlogue.
  3. Leave the controller connected, restart drumlogue and check recognition. Consult the controller requirements if it still fails.

Diagnose it

Was the controller plugged in after drumlogue started?

Yes: Restart with it connected.

No: Check the correct port and the documented controller requirements.

What should happen

A supported controller is available after the documented startup sequence.

Why this happens

Korg specifies that TO DEVICE controller recognition happens at startup.

If it still doesn’t work

Check the connections and settings described above. If your device behaves differently, email us with its model, firmware version and the steps you tried.
