justmii2u Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi there, I've been trying to set up my yamaha keyboard with UX16 USB interface for the last 3 hours and it's still not working. I have used it before so it's not the first time I'm setting it up. In the audio midi setup window of my mac it shows that the device is online. I've connected the physical input and the sequencer input in the environment. I've tried software instrument as well as external midi, but that shouldn't make a difference. I've restarted my mac, the yamaha, reconnected all the cables. I'm very close from throwing my piano out of the window so if anyone could help me soon I'd be really thankful! Thank you very much in advance. Eline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Is this Yamaha just a controller and you want to record MIDI in Logic, play virtual instruments, etc., or is this a synth that you want to use as sounds in your project? When you play a key, is there any activity in Logic's transport, where it says No In? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmii2u Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I just want to record the MIDI and create the sounds with the virtual instruments. No it does not show any activity in the "No in" part. It's like logic doesn't see the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 OK, before you are successful in defenestrating your keyboard, there's still a couple things to try. Since AMS is showing the MIDI interface as online, and you're sure you have the MIDI cable connected correctly, Yamaha out to interface in, then download this little utility: http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/ If nothing shows up in that when you play your keys, then it's not a Logic problem and is very likely a keyboard zone setup issue in the Yamaha itself. Which Yamaha is it? Some of the older ones can be a little flaky in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmii2u Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Downloaded the software.. It showed in there.. Clueless I restarted the yamaha NP-30 and logic and guess what.. It works.. Not that I've done everything differently than what I've done in the last couple of hours, but it works.. Now please cross your fingers it won't ever happen again (it probably will).
