NovationUSBMIDIDriver
NovationUSBMIDIDriver is a MIDI driver for macOS CoreMIDI that enables communication between Novation USB MIDI controllers and synthesizers and the Mac's audio production software. It handles USB connectivity, device enumeration, and MIDI message routing for Novation hardware like Launchpad, Keystep, and other USB MIDI devices. The driver sits beneath the operating system's CoreMIDI layer and is updated through Novation's own driver installer, not through a standalone download or the App Store.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNovationUSBMIDIDriver is a system MIDI driver that ships with Novation's controller support software, not a standalone application. To ensure it is native for Apple Silicon and remains compatible with your Novation hardware, visit Novation's official support site and download the latest driver package for your specific device (Launchpad, Keystep, etc.). Run the installer — this will update both the driver and any companion configuration utilities to their current native builds. If you are unsure which driver version you need, check Novation's product support page for your controller model; they typically provide device-specific installers. Because this is a system component rather than a standalone app, it is not updated through the Mac App Store or generic software update mechanisms. Getting the native build from Novation's official installer ensures full compatibility with Apple Silicon Macs and will keep your MIDI devices working reliably as the macOS platform evolves.
