bjs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have been trying to connect my Roland HPD-15 percussion pad/module to Logic. Since it is a vintage device, I am connecting it to the Macbook Pro via a Roland UM-One MkII USB-to-MIDI interface cable. (The MIDI ports on my interface are already used by a Mackie Control Universal.) I have set all the parameters accordingly in the manuals for the HPD-15 and the UM-One. I set up an External Instrument track & played in some notes, which appear in the region & on the Piano Roll. However, the only way I can hear what I played is by listening directly to the HPD-15. No sound comes out of Logic. I also tried running an audio cable from the HPD-15 to an audio input on my interface but still no sound. Is there something else I need to configure in the Environment or somewhere in order to hear the track? Do I need to somehow route the MIDI track to an audio track, & if so, how?

Eriksimon Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I also tried running an audio cable from the HPD-15 to an audio input on my interface but still no sound. Create an External MIDI track like this: then you can configure both the audio and the MIDI routing on the External Instrument plugin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjs Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks, Erik, also for your response on the Apple Communities Logic forum. I have Logic 9, so it looks a little different. I don't have anything resembling the window in your first picture, but I did find the External Instrument plugin. This is how I set it up to work. The UM-O/10 channel strip is the UM-One MIDI-USB interface cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The UM-O/10 channel strip is the UM-One MIDI-USB interface cable. You don't need that channel strip, you can get rid of it and only use the External Instrument channel strip. BTW so is it working now?
