MIDI controller (SoundForce SFC-5) not working with Big Sur, works fine with Catalina

On my machine running Big Sur, I'm using the SoundForce SFC-5 with U-He Repro 5 but the MIDI learn function does not work at all in Logic unless I launch it from Komplete Kontrol. Catalina machine works fine. Is this a known issue?

Thanks.

MIDI buttons not detecting after clean install Hi all, I did a clean install of Catalina on my MacBook Pro (A1286), to have a bit of a fresh start after 6 years. I realised afterwards that my Apogee GIO would not work in Catalina, due to the old drivers - So I wiped it again and did a clean install of Mojave. Now, I can't get the MIDI device buttons to detect - However the audio side of it does, as it's 'class compliant' from an audio input perspective - see https://knowledgebase.apogeedigital.com/gio/compatibility-gio/will-gio-work-with-macos-10-15-catalina/ I even tried a clean install of High Sierra, with no improvement. Does Catalina update some firmware on the Macbook to make it incompatible with older MIDI devices once upgraded? It has been working perfectly in El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra & Mojave for years. Note, I've got an old Macbook here (A1342) with High Sierra on it - That works perfectly with the MIDI buttons, same USB cable. Just doesn't have enough CPU for Mainstage (or anything else for that matter). Both Macbooks are using the drivers from the Apogee site, and both the system & user Library directories appear the same under the Audio section. I've also reached out to Apogee support, will see if they can provide any insight, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Since I update to Big Sur and Logic 10.6.3 My midi is not working anymore?? How do I get the midi to work again in Logic 10.6.3? Since the update to Big Sur the midi driver does not work correctly. I still have the old driver as back-up. Is there a way to throw the new one away and use the old one instead. Or is there a other way to work around this problem?

Unable to Yamaha PSR E413 as a MIDI controller to Garage Band in Mac Book Pro M1 running Big Sur 11 I used to use a 2016 MacBook Pro and I ran my Yamaha PSR E413 into it through usb and was able to use it as a midi controller in Garage Band. I just got the new 2020 MacBook M1 running Big Sur and I can no longer figure out how to use my Yamaha PSR E413 as a midi controller in Garage Band. I installed the USB MIDI driver from https://usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/usb_midi_driver_for_mac.html and restarted the computer. But it just don't work. Looks like we will need a version for M1 chips. The current version of the software is compatible with macOS 10.15.x-10.5..x Has anyone else run into the problem of not being able to use their keyboard as a midi controller on the new Mac/macOS? Can anyone suggest any other MIDI Keyboards that will be compatible with new Mac Book Pro M1 Silicon Chips with Mac OS Big Sur 11.3. Need urgent help and suggestion.
