M1 MacBook Pro and Midi keyboard issues

[lwilliam]

I wasn't sure where to put this question...

I just got a new MBP M1, as my ancient 2009 MacPro was starting to get weird disk errors and couldn't be upgraded any more so I couldn't even upgrade Protools.

For midi input, I have both an M-Audio Ozone and a Yamaha MOX8 that worked well with my Intel/MacPro and Protools. However, neither seem to be recognized by the new computer (I just dowloaded the latest BigSur compatible version of PT. I can't find the keyboards in the Audio/Midi setup either. It's like the MBP just doesn't see any midi.

Protools seems to be working ok and I even have some 3rd party VIs and plugins running such as Spectrasonics, Toontrack EZ line, and Guitar Rig 5. When I manually create midi notes on a VI, it produces sound from the track.

It must be something stupid I'm missing because I can't believe that after six months, the new M1 Macs can't receive midi. If anyone has a working midi keyboard with a MacBook Pro M1, let me know. I'll even buy a new midi keyboard if there's one that works...but it's probably just something stupid I forgot. Anyone have a similar situation and resolved it?
