Connect my Yamaha MOX8 to Logic.

I've been having the most trouble trying to connect my Yamaha MOX8 to Logic. Would someone please kindly explain to me how?

Pac Center. I have a good one for you. I think I'm dealing with the same issue but I hopefully I can explain it better.
I have a Motif 8, Motu Traveler, and a Macbook Pro running the newest OS. I want to be able to use my Motif inside of Logic 9, fully. I can use it now, but I have to have Local Control in the Motif set to "ON." And I have to print audio as I go. I know that I need to have it set to OFF, but if I set it to OFF then no sound comes through. I have an enviroment just for the Motif that I downloaded a while back, and I was able to change my patches within Logic, up until a few days ago. I'm not sure what happened.
The Motif 8 is going through input 5-6 in the Motu Traveler.
If you can provide some insight that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

  • Using an MOX8 with Logic Pro X

    I have a Yamaha MOX8. I am using m-audio Uno as a midisport driver to connect the piano to my computer. I want to record tracks in Logic Pro X with the voices from the MOX8, but every time I do it and make a second track and change the voice, both the tracks change their voice. How would I do this where only one voice will change and the other will stay where its

    I'm afraid you have quite a learning curve ahead of you.
    MIDI is not audio, the MIDI tracks you record are not sound, they are little tiny bits of data that tells what key note was presses and how fast (velocity) you played it. The data you're recording will play any sound on any MIDI Instrument. To get the sound of the MOX8 -IN- Logic you would have to record the audio outputs of the MOX8 into Logic as an audio track.
    As with most Workstations you can set up a "Performance" mode that has different instruments on separate MIDI channels, this is for use with the Internal MOX8 sequencer but can also be used by an external sequencer like Logic. For instance, you could have different instruments on MIDI Channels 1 thru 9 and a drum set on channel 10, In Logic you could have ten tracks set to the MIDI channels you want to play on the MOX8... however, the sound would not be in Logic, the sound comes from within the MOX8. To actually get the sound in Logic you have to record it as an audio track. There are other more advanced methods but that's enough to think about. You will need to the Yamaha MOX8 manual and figure out how to set up a performance mode. 

  • Connect a Yamaha Keyboard

    Hi
    I have recently purchased LE7 and I have a Yamaha PSR-78 keyboard which I would like to connect up and use with logic for recording. This keyboard does'nt have a MIDI connection and I have in the past successfully connected it to garageband and soundtrack, like this: Keyboard--->Jack--->adaptor--->imic--->mac. Thats how I used to connect it with garageband and such. When I say adaptor I mean from a big jack to little jack connection. I hope I've said this all clearly and I hope you can help me.
    Thanks....

    you have to initiate core audio to accept the mini jack as an input and then tell Logic to use said core audio for inputs. On top of that you need to tell Logic which specific input to use when recording. You may have option for more than one by default.
    Check out "core audio" in the manual and you'll see what I'm talkn' about.
    Also, consider a midi interface too in order to utilize all the software instruments on your Mac. well...nevermind, i see you don't have midi...

  • Can I connect every USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?

    Hello there,
    please forgive me, if my english isn't so well.
    So, my "problem": I actually informated me over Logic Pro X, and by the provided Audiointerfaces, I didn't saw my Audiointerface.
    But - Can I simply connect a USB-Audiointerface with Logic Pro?
    So, hope you understand me,
    Best wishes, "toasbrot_55" (sorry for that name, i don't know when I did chosen this name)

    All Mac OS compatible audio interfaces work with Logic, and almost all USB interfaces are Mac compatible. So it depends on which interface you have (make and model), and which Mac OS version you use.

  • Help needed in connecting two midi keyboards to Logic Pro.

    Hey there, I would like to connect two midi keyboards to Logic Pro and enable each keyboard to trigger separate software instruments each. For example, one keyboard has guitar and the other has strings.
    I realise this must have something to do with midi channels or ports, however my knowledge is limited.
    At current, I just have the two keyboards connected via usb straight to the computer. Is it possible I need a multi input or output interface, so that Logic can recognise different ports, or channels? Perhaps there is simply something I need to do in Logic itself? the keyboards are basic M-Audio midi controllers, just a usb port - thats it, no other connections. Any help would be great, Brad.

    Hey Brad,
    yes you need also to change the out midi of the keyboards.
    in my case I have the Keysation 61 es, it's done this way:
    "Channel
    MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI Channels. However, certain MIDI devices and MIDI software applications require
    the keyboard to send data on a specified channel. If this is the case, you can change the channel the data is sent using the following
    method:
    < Press the Advanced Functions button to engage Edit Mode.
    < Press one of the 16 Channel keys from D1 to E3, according to the Channel that you need.
    For example, if a device specifies that you need to send data on Channel 10, press the Advanced Functions button, and then key F2 to select
    Channel 10.
    The Channel can also be assigned to the Octave “+” and “-” buttons. Once assigned, pressing “+” or “-” will increase or decrease the channel
    incrementally. When Channel 16 is reached and “+” is pressed, Channel 1 will be selected. If the Octave “+” and “-” keys are selected to vary
    the Channel, the lights above the buttons will not change, since it is not possible to have a Channel with a negative value. Pressing both the
    “+” and “-” buttons together will recall Channel 1."
    Can you please tell me what keyboards do you have?
    this is for two players having a go on completely 2 different parts.
    In case you want to record 2 tracks with the same content say a piano and a pad,
    all you need to do is open the tracks and rec enable both and you have piano pad.
    Anyway I believe you need to have two separate sounds for two players?
    Give us some more input of what you want, there must have one or more solutions to what you need.
    Cheers mate,

  • MIDI connection from Yamaha YPG 525 to GB3

    HELP - Is there anyone out there who has successfully connected a Yamaha YPG 525 to GB3 using a MIDI/USB** cable.
    I have downloaded the MAC USB Driver supplied by Yamaha into my Applications folder and have installed it.
    When I check my preferences (both system and GB3) it only shows that I have 1 midi device - no mention of the YPG 525. When I open my utilities folder and check the sound category, I see the YPG 525 info.
    ** This MIDI/USB Cable is the type that has a box-ish plug at one end and the standard USB connect at the other end.
    I have been able to make the in-line audio input work and was hoping to use the MIDI function as well.
    Many thanks to anyone who can help me - macsven

    You gave ME the clue when you said you had been recording via the Line-In. I had a feeling you might be still trying to record the same way.
    Glad it hear it was a simple fix, they are ALWAYS the best kinds of fixes. Enjoy

  • Can I connect a Yamaha S90 keyboard to my macbook pro via USB to access Logic's MIDI capabilities?

    My Yamaha S90 keyboard has a USB connector.  I am guessing that it is only there for updating firmware, but I can't find any references.  What I would like to do is use the S90 as a MIDI input device to Logic on the Macbook Pro without having to connect through my AMT8.  I am having trouble finding the right drivers to get the AMT8 to talk to Logic on the Macbook Pro.  I have been using my old dual processor G5 for recording and sequencing and want to have more portability.  Any suggestions?

    Shouldn't be any need to use the AMT8, if the S90 has USB.
    I seriously DOUBT you will need drivers, either.
    Just create a new device in Audio Midi Setup, and the next time you open Logic, you should be good to go.
    Weird that the AMT8 doesn't seem to be working, but once again, use above info for setting up the AMT8 while in Audio Midi Preferences while you're at it, and then you have BOTH options.

  • Started using a Yamaha n12 with Logic... having problems!!

    Hi Guys
    Just wondering if anyone is using a Yamaha n12?
    I've just bought one to replace (tentitively!) my Mackie Onyx 1220...
    First thing I noticed was that the n12 wasn't "plug and play" the way the Mackie Onyx was. It didn't show up in the "sound" control panel until I loaded a special application called "M-Lan connection manager"...
    ... that kind of freaked me out - one more driver to go wrong, or to have future compatibility issues!
    Anyway, it seems to be working OK, although a few "error 36s" have come up while playing from a random point in a song in Logic.
    But the main problem I am having is that Logic is not receiving or sending ANY MIDI over my old M-Audio Midisport 4x4 while the Yamaha n12 is running. I still need to use the Midisport 'cos I have several MIDI devices (the n12 only has one MIDI in and one out).
    Has anyone had similar experiences to this? Is there a way to keep using my Midisport alongside the n12? (When I switch back to the Mackie Onyx to test, everything is fine...)
    On this whole subject, I would LOVE some feedback from anyone using an n12. Is it a bit unstable? Is having to use this "connection manager" thing annoying?
    I am already finding it quite irritating that the n12 isn't usually recognized when I start the Mac, and I have to cycle it on and off to get it to show up....
    Perhaps the Onyx is a better way to go after all, even though it's a bit simpler?
    Thanks heaps guys - look forward to any words of wisdom you have to offer!
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Guys,
    If you're using a Yamaha n12, there is a new version of the firmware (1.03), and the firwire firmware (1.0.7).
    More importantly, Yamaha have released new drivers, called "Yamaha Steinberg FW drivers"...
    Not only do these solve the problem of the n12 being recognized (and the issue of blocking other MIDI interfaces), they allow AMAZINGLY low latency. Projects which I had to run with a buffer of 128 on my Mackie Onyx will now run at a buffer of 32, with no glitches!
    Very impressed with the n12 now I have the new drivers and firmware!
    I definitely recommend that other n12 users update these if you haven't already!
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Connecting Yahmaha E403 MIDI to Logic?

    Hello,
    Sorry, I am a noob at MIDI...
    I have a Yahmaha E403 Keyboard. It has a MIDI USB port on the back. My friend has the same keyboard and was succesful using it on Garageband.
    I went to this site where I found the latest driver for Mac:
    http://music.yamaha.com/products/downloads.html?productId=1212
    I still cannot get it to connect. Even in apple system pref when I click on the Yahmaha icon, it says alert, cannot access to a driver.
    I didn't have a midi usb cable, and my friend told me that the cable for your printer should work. So I took my printer cable and it fits into my keyboard fine and my mac book pro fine. Can the cable be the issue?
    On my keyboard there are three settings,
    • PC mode: off
    • PC mode : PC 1
    • PC mode: PC 2
    My friend said with Garageband, he got it to work with PC mode off, and then just lower the keyboard audio and then you can hear it on the computer speakers.
    The only difference with him and me is I'm using a different midi usb cable, and a slightly older model mac book pro. But we do both have mac book pro's and the same keyboard so it should work?
    I've made a new midi track in logic and tried the keyboard on all three PC modes and got nothing.
    What could be the problem?
    Thankyou
    - Mike

    If you really want to divide a MIDI recording into separate kit elements, you can use "Separate MIDI Events" under the MIDI menu.
    But... I'd recommend you probably don't need to do that.  What sampler are you using to play the MIDI track recorded from the TD-20 ?  That plug-in probably gives you all the control you need over individual drum sounds, and it also may give the option of multiple bus outputs if you want to route drum audio onto separate mixer tracks for further processing.
    Generally, it's most useful to separate the audio generated from drum MIDI, not the MIDI regions themselves.  But if you do want separate MIDI tracks for some reason, "Separate MIDI Events" should do the job.
    Good luck!

  • No longer able to connect to Yamaha RX-V675 amp from Apple devices

    Sorry for the length of this post, but I wanted to get everything down in one hit and I REALLY need some help as it's driving me nuts!
    I have been happily connecting to my Yamaha RX-V675 amp from my Macbook Pro (2010) with no problems since I bought the amp a year or so ago - connected through iTunes > Airplay and it also appeared as a device in my System Preferences > Sound menu. I was playing music from the Remote app on my iPhone (6)/iPad (2) and was always able to connect, which I believe routes through iTunes/MB rather than the device itself.
    However, I noticed the other evening in iTunes on the MB that the Airplay menu had turned orange, but I wasn't using it so I didn't think anything more of it. Since then I've tried to connect and the Airplay option no longer appears, nor does the amp appear as a device in the Sys Pref > Sound menu. As an aside, connecting to the amp directly via Airplay from my iPhone and iPad has always been flaky - sometimes I would see the amp as an Airplay device but many times I wouldn't, to the point that I have given up trying.
    I also have a Synology Disc Station and I can use the DS Audio app on my iPhone/iPad to play music on the same amp via Airplay. Both the amp and MB are hard wired on my network, plus I have checked my router a number of times and the amp always shows up as connected (plus I can ping the amp and access its web console from a browser on my MB), so there is nothing wrong with the network connectivity of the the devices. I have tried all suggestions made in another similar post, including changing the name of the network on the Yamaha amp via it's web portal, which seems to have worked for many people but made no difference for me. I've also updated both OS X and iTunes with the latest updates, but it's made no difference. I can still however connect via the DS Audio app over Airplay every time.
    Even though I can connect via DS Audio, the app itself is a little clunky and I would really prefer to use Remote/iTunes as it is much slicker and previously worked a treat. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Any help would be very much appreciated as I losing a lot of hair over this!

    excuse me, not linksystem, its a verizon FIOS wireless router &amp; modem as part of the package. i was thinking my old setup.
    new system...cant edit my posts....?

  • Mapping Yamaha DTXplorer in logic pro - Environment window clicks and Ports

    The midi signals for Yamaha DTXplorer are off from GM. The snare (G0) and bass drum (A0) output notes do not trigger snare (D1) and bass drum (C1).
    I am a novice to both MAC and Logic Pro.
    I have the midi out of the drumset going USB right into my MAC.
    I've gotten as far as...
    1. Environment window>clicks and Ports
    2. Verifying the channels that DTX triggers for snare and bass drum.
    3. Changing the output notes to D1 & C1.
    Nothing changes with the sound.
    In fact, I can change the output notes for drums that are set up correctly and they don't change either.
    None of the alterations I do in the Environment window seem to do anything to the midi signals!
    Do I need to activate or save the changes? If so, how (precisely)?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do that from within the app, under menu Logic Pro X;

  • Connecting a Yamaha YDP223 digital piano... How?

    I'm trying - for the first time - to connect my MacBook Air (MBA) to my Yamaha piano, but can't quite figure it out and need help.
    I've hooked up the midi cable to the USB in the MBA, and plugged the "in" cable to the "in" jack and the "out" cable to the "out" jack.  I can see there's some connectivity, as I get a little blue light in the "measure" window (bottom center in GB) every time it hit a key on the piano.  But that's it... I can't get notes I play on the piano to appear on the score in GB, nor can I get music playing in GB to come through the piano's speakers.
    I'm pretty sure I have the function settings on the piano correct, although the manual's pretty obscure.  Is there something I'm missing?  Do I have to do something on the MBA or GB to make this work? I'm using OS 10.6.7.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've hooked up the midi cable to the USB in the MBA, ...
    That's not a midi cable, but a midi-to-usb interface, and you should tell us what model - that's a lot more interesting than what keyboard you are using, since they all put out the same midi signals.
    ... and plugged the "in" cable to the "in" jack and the "out" cable to the "out" jack.
    You should connect the keyboard's midi out to the interface's midi in. (You can forget about the other direction, since GB doesn't send any midi signals back to the keyboard.)

  • How to connect to yamaha disklavier mark III

    I have a macbook pro and want to play midi files on my yamaha disklavier piano.  I have installed the yamaha UX16 driver and made the connections.  The macbook pro recognizes the disklavier as an attached device. 
    I cannot get anything to go from the mac to the piano or vice versa.  I have read the disklavier manual and can't figure it out.  I'm sure that it's hopelessly simple.  Any help is appreciated.

    Nevermind- My "in" cable had to be connected to out and vice-versa

  • Mac mini not connecting thru yamaha receiver

    Hi, first time Mac user and first time poster here!
    I unboxed my Mac mini today and first connected it via hdmi to my yamaha a/v receiver (RX-V667). This is how my tv and Blu Ray are connected as well, and then I have one single hdmi output to my tv.
    there was no display on my tv. If I connect the Mac directly to the tv, then it works. The yamaha handles everything else fine (Oppo blu Ray, direct tv cable box, Xbox 360) but not the Mac. Why would this be?
    ANy help is greatly appreciated.  I'd like to avoid running 2 inputs into my tv
    thanks!

    I am using a Yamaha RX-V467 in a similar manner and it works just fine.
    My connection to the Mini is HDMI->HDMI.  FWIW, mine is a 2011 Mini Server
    running Yosemite (previously was a 2010 Mini connected identically with no issues).
    The cables could be an an issue.
    Also, you may want to try a PRAM reset (OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM)
    or an SMC reset (Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support).
