Hello,

I installed the latest Korg M1 AU (2.4.1) and Korg Wavestation (2.4.2). I also installed Korg Software Pass (1.2.17).

Everything works. For 2 days. And then I get an error in Ableton Live 12.3 (and Logic Pro) saying that the AU v2 is not compatible with Live. Failed to initialize.

I tried downgrading with different versions, but they all act the same way; they work for 2 days and then they give the same error.

I am on a Mac Studio M4. I have the same issue on my Macbook Air M4.

Does anyone know what to do and how to fix this?

 

The same for the VST version by the way.

 

I think you have to make sure that your Mac's network interface is not randomizing MAC addresses.

Spoiler

On newer macOS versions (Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia):

1. Open System Settings
   
   
2. Go to Network
   
   
3. Click Wi‑Fi
   
   
4. Click Details next to the connected network
   
   
5. Turn off Private Wi‑Fi Address
   

That forces macOS to use the hardware MAC instead of a randomized one.

After you turn it off:

• The router will see your real MAC
• You’ll likely get a different local IP one more time
• After that, DHCP should stay consistent
• You can now create a DHCP reservation in your router if you want a fixed IP

Important:

This only affects Wi‑Fi. Ethernet does not randomize MAC addresses.

Also, I’m going to say this directly — disable this only on networks you trust (your home studio, for example). On public Wi‑Fi, MAC randomization is a good privacy feature and you should leave it on.

If your goal is stable networking for your DAW machine, disabling it on your home network makes sense.

If that is not the issue, then you have to give more info. What firewall are you using, what version of MacOS, how do you have these firewalled, how did you install them via Software Pass or other, what Team versions are you using R2R or other? etc.

Hopefully, it is just your Mac address getting randomized, but only because it is a little less work to fix.
