It's preferable to completely remove the Korg BLE MIDI driver from the system. To do this head through Settings → Apps, search for "Korg BLE MIDI" and click "Uninstall". Verify that the driver is not present in Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers or Device Manager → Software devices. Restart the computer.

You can connect Wavefront to your iOS device. It works on an app-to-app basis so you need to connect Wavefront through the application you want to use it with - not through the regular Bluetooth Settings.

1. Turn Wavefront on. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on on your device.
2. Navigate to the app you want to use Wavefront with.
3. Find the app's settings (usually a wrench or a gear icon) and find Bluetooth MIDI (as long as the app supports Bluetooth MIDI devices).
4. You should see Wavefront on a list of Bluetooth MIDI devices. Press connect.
5. If the app you're using does not provide an option to pair Bluetooth MIDI devices, download this application and use it to connect to Wavefront.
