I did this once with a previous version of Logic Pro X, and for the life of me I cannot figure it out w/ the latest version. Here's what I want to do... I want to drag in an audio file, then tap along with it in real time -thus creating the custom click track- then be able to record more MIDI tracks that sync TO the newly created custom click. This is an awesome tool for doing remixes and revamping pre-existing recordings, especially w/ tracks that were not recorded to a click or simply won't sync up perfectly in Logic. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks. -DR

Hallllllelujah! It was a setting on the Fantom. USB simply had to be taken off 'MIDI' mode and put into 'storage' mode. And then voila, the MIDI out started talking to the computer. Your MIDI Monitor program was a huge help diagnosing that. Thanks Jordi!!

So this is probably an easy fix; I just have very little experience using MIDI in/out/thru on keyboards... I have a Roland Fantom X8, and for years I controlled Logic Pro X with it effortlessly via USB. Now I have an iMac running Sierra, and no longer can use the Fantom's USB as Roland doesn't have updated drivers for Sierra. So I figured I can utilize the MIDI ports on the Fantom. So I have a MIDI cable connected to the midi OUT on the Fantom, going to the midi IN on my PreSonus Firebox interface (it's a MIDI/SPDIF breakout cable that plugs into the back of the interface). However, when I open Logic and pull up an instrument track, I hear nothing when I press the keys of the Fantom. What am I missing here? Do I need a second MIDI cable running out of interface to the keyboard? Let me reiterate that I only want to use the Fantom as a controller, to trigger Logic's synths and plugins. Help please!
