You were right about the usb-midi interface. I did have some strange sounds at first, but at least I have output and I now know how to get it. Result

Hi David, sorted. Many thanks for your patience and your expertise

output is routed via the X8's speaker output sockets straight to the input sockets of the monitors.

Initially I add a track and choose midi is that correct, or should I be selecting software instruments?

Correct, Listening to the audio through monitor speakers

Hi David, I selected the UM 1 port in the inspector. I'm monitoring via logic, looking at the midi in and midi out

Hi David, "no joy" = I play my keyboard, nothing is recorded and therefore nothing is played back Now putting my nose back in the user manual because I know it must be my fault

Hi David, still no joy I'm using Logic Pro 8 does that make a difference?

Cheers David, Ill check that out in the morning

Hi facej, thanks for the reply. where do I find the track inspector and the Port
