Connect Arturia Keylab mk2 to Logic Pro

My keylab mk2 stopped working with logic. The Keylab itself seems to be working fine. It was working up until today. All i did was plug it in but nothing happened.. Went to Logic Pro,––preferences,– –audio, and the input device said "No Driver". The manual say's it hooks up automatically. I then opened Midi Control center & clicked on "Device Settings"-- it reads: "Connect a Device to edit these settings" I also can't click on "DAW" in the Device memories in the left sidebar of the Midi Control Center. . If i go to logic preferences,-- control surfaces,-- setup, The keylab mk2 is not listed in the "Install Device List". (Logic Version 10.6.1 trial).(M-1 mac mini V.11.2.3)

What puzzles me is why it worked so easy for the last month and all of a sudden ,....nothing! Could anyone give me a clear path to functionality?

P.S. This is my first time using this forum. Thankx

Mac mini, macOS 11.2

Solved: Would you believe a bad USB cable! Once the cable was replaced, go to logic preferences--control surfaces---Setup----click New---install----go down the list, highlight Mackie Designs-Mackie Control, then click "add."

Launch Midi Control Center --Device Setting---Set Daw Map to "Logic", Set Daw Folder Mode to "Jump".

Thanks to Austin @ Sweetwater support for helping me out!

Lets revise the steps for configuring the KeyLab MKII with Logic Pro X:

I- Please perform a Factory Reset to your KeyLab MKII, To factory reset your KeyLab MKII, follow these simple steps:

[WARNING: Factory resetting your KeyLab MKII will clear all saved internal User maps. Be sure to back up your settings using the MIDI Control Center]

• Hold the "Octave up" & "Octave down" buttons while powering it up.

• Once the unit has powered up, press the Jog-wheel to confirm.

II- To control Logic's parameters with your KeyLab MkII, you first need to set your KeyLab DAW map to Logic Pro from the Midi Control Center Device settings section, also choose the DAW Fader Mode Jump or PickUp:

III- Once it's done, please open Logic Pro X, and follow the below instructions:

1 - Go to Logic Preferences > Control Surfaces > Setup...

2 - Then click on New > Install

3 - In the Control Surfaces list, select Mackie Designs > Mackie Control

4 - Then right click on the controller icon and click "Show Inspector"

5 - In Output Port select "Keylab MkII DAW"

In Input Port select "Keylab MkII DAW"

That's it.
