Is there a Retina Macbook Pro compatible Midi Keyboard out there?!

I think the USB 3.0 ports carry slightly more electricity that a regular USB port (you can charge devices via USB 3.0 even when your computer is turned off), so the compatability issues stem from that. I've definitely had some problems using other devices like my Novation Launchpad while it's plugged into a USB 3.0 port.

I assume the fix will come in the form of a driver update eventually. Are both ports USB 3.0 on the MBP? I would suggest maybe buying a USB hub that doesn't include any 3.0 ports and plugging your gear into that for the time being.

Yes, both ports are USB 3.0... The whole point in buying the rMBP was to future proof my new adventures in DAW recording... can't win! Just found this interesting article --> USB 3.0: Backwards Compatible in Theory, But Some Audio Drivers Aren’t Cooperating

Just been to my local music shop and had them pull out a few Midi Keyboards and the Roland A-500 Pro works a treat... pity it's £200!

I had this same problem with my retina and m audio keyboard but I solved it by using a USB hub with USB 2.0. For some reason it works. USB hubs are dirt cheap so it shouldn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the info! Do you mind telling me which USB Hub you're using and the M-Audio model?

Thanks a lot
