Macbook air m1 problem with usb midi device

I have fatar studiologic vmk-188 plus usb midi keyboard. It works literally on every computer that I ever use, no problem with pc linux and old mac. But when I connect it to macbook it's appears on midi devices screen and then become offline (greyed out). If check in usb devices studiologic still there but did not recognize as midi devices after first appearing. I already tried to remove midi device, change cable - actually both cables that I test works perfectly with other computers.

Yes, I didn't get a response from them, either.

Ok, so with USB-to-Midi Cable and USB Powered its gonna work at your MB Air?

Thats the one think I didn't tried. I tried with USB only. USB + external power supply & external power supply + USB-to-Midi and none of this worked. So I'll give this a try. Its really frustrating, cause any other Midi-Device seems to work.
