The design changes - including a bright desktop background, translucent menu bar and revamped toolbar buttons - come alongside new system tones that make Big Sur look and sound different from previous OS versions. With major UI updates to notifications and the control center, subtle design tweaks and modifications to apps like Messages and Maps, Big Sur moves the desktop experience closer to the mobile one in ways that unify the software across devices. I will report back when I have updates to this topic.Nathan Ingraham has been testing Big Sur since the public beta was made available this past summer, and says the macOS update manages to make important and noteworthy changes without fundamentally changing how the system works overall. Now I'm going to go send it the issue to tech support, as Mike recommended. I repeated this a few times to confirm.Īs long as the Xkey is plugged into the M1, Finale cannot open the MIDI Setup dialog box. It could not open the MIDI Setup dialog box while the Xkey was plugged in.

I closed Finale and leaving the Xkey plugged in, reopened Finale. The box remained open when I plugged the Xkey back in, but even though the M1's MIDI Audio Setup utility could see the Xkey, Finale's MIDI Setup dialog box could not. SUDDENLY, Finale could open the MIDI Setup dialog box. I unplugged the Xkey completely from my system. Finale could not see the Xkey & couldn't open the MIDI Setup dialog box.Ħ.

Same results neither the Xkey Plus app nor Finale could see the Xkey, and Finale still couldn't open the MIDI Setup dialog box.ĥ. I tried plugging the Xkey into the USB-C port via a simple adapter rather than a hub. Neither the Xkey Plus app nor Finale could see the Xkey, and Finale still couldn't open the MIDI Setup dialog box.Ĥ. I tried plugging the M1's power adapter into my hub (USB-A to USB-C) because some people in the Apple forum reported that this made their MIDI keyboards work with their M1s. I installed the Xkey Plus app, which is made by CME & designed to configure/update firmware for the Xkey. I verified that the Mac MIDI Audio Setup utility still sees the Xkey. (I always appreciate it when others do that in their threads.)ġ. Updating this thread so people searching in the future can see the progress.
