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?


Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.1

Logic Pro X 10.6.3

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D500 3 GB

What version of OSX did you upgrade from?

What is your MIDI interface?

There have been lots of issues with legacy MIDI drivers and interfaces with the move to Catalina ( 64bit ) and Big Sur. Check with your MIDI vendor support and confirm support for Sig Sur for your device(s). This is a critical first step since the onus is on the Third party vendor to support Big Sur OSX and many are lagging. I have seen an uptick with Midi Issue with since Logic 10.5 ad here are my observations and tips:

1) Make sure ALL drivers are current and supported (Critical )

2) No USB hubs in the data chain to MIDI devices

3) Always start from a cold boot, no wake from sleep

4) No changing of accounts ( logout / login )

5) If using a combination of USB and a MIDI multi-port interface leave Port A open on the multi-port.

These steps solved about 99% of my ( and fellow musicians ) MIDI issues.

Hope this helps
