Sorry - re read this and realize I only need the single cable that you suggest from Uno or Roland, the first of which is a $40 solution. Many thanks.

Many thanks Atlas. Really appreciate this. So if I'm understanding this correctly, all I have to do is: Buy any Logic Pro X compatible MIDI interface and connect to this from the MIDI in and out on the PSR. MIDI interface connects to MAC. MIDI interface should come with it's own driver. No driver needed for PSR. PSR settings as per user manual and with bit of luck the whole thing works out! I can search on the best interface to buy, but if you can recommend one this would be fantastic. Will certainly report back on whether this works.

Hi there. I'm a novice to this so please be patient with me. We have an ageing Yamaha PSR 1000 which would have been a fine MIDI keyboard/synth in its day. I want to set this up as a MIDI controller for Pro Logic X on the Mac. I have watched the Youtube videos on setting this up (or at least setting up the Yamaha PSR 900 which I assume is similar). My first issue is a very basic how to connect the keyboard to the Mac's USB. One Youtube vid has the keyboard's MIDI IN and OUT ports connected to a USB via a single MIDI cable. Another vid has the keyboard's "Host" connected to a USB (the "Host" is a different type of port to the MIDI IN and OUT and so this would need a different lead). And yet another vid shows this connecting to a computer's USB via what I think is a MIDI hub. My second issue is, even if I connect this keyboard, will it work with Pro Logic X. I can see a generic Yamaha driver online, but cannot see any posts on specifically connecting this older generation keyboard specifically. Are these things usually plug n play or are there some fairly generic drivers out there? Sorry if these are basic questions. Would love to get this working if I can. I'm not completely stupid with these things and a nudge or two in the right direction should be enough.
