Connecting a Yamaha P120 using Serial Cables

Hey. i recentyl got a macbook with the new improved garageband and wanted to hook up my ymaha keyboard to it. i tried using my midi-interface, which had previously worked with my older computer and garageband. However, the keyboard would not transmit to garageband. Through many tests, i came to the conclusion that the midi out on my keyboard was busted, probably due to gigging with that keyboard before i bought the expensive case. So, i ordered a keyspan 28XG 8 pin mini din cable to usb converter to utilize my keyboards direct to host connect feature. However, it will not show up in audio midi setup even though i've downloaded the correct driver (as confirmed by the fact that the keyspan serial assitant sees that interface.)
is there a way to get midi data into garageband this way, or am i screwed?
please post if you think you can help me. i really want to get this amazing keyboard to work with garageband and maybe eventually logic or live if it comes to make sense.

The problem is not with your keyboard (as long as it has a midi out), but with your interface - it doesn't seem to talk properly to the Mac. People have reported problems with the MidiSport and the latest system software.
If you can still exchange it, here's a list of interfaces:

    I have apple mac book pro with retina display.plz send me the setting thank u

    There's no setting. Plug in the cable to the adapter for either USB or Thunderbolt and plug the other end into your router. You can turn off wireless at that point.

  • Connect to Ge Fanuc using Serial port?

    Greetings,
    my question is if it is possible to use serial connection between labview
    and the Gefanuc 90-30 plc and if so how?
    we are presently using ethernet using a particular Gefanuc server in the
    server explorer of labview. But we want to use serial comm and there is no
    server for serial comm for gefanuc. Is there a way to connect to the plc
    using serial comms and then import the tags to the scf file in labciew.
    Thanks.

    Yes, using SNP or SNPX protocol. This required OPC/DDE server software.

  • G5 xserve connected to fibre switch using 2 cables

    i have a G5 xserve and 2 xserve raid connected to a fibre switch. at this moment the xserve is connected using one cable but heard that using a second cable will improve performance (increased bandwidth). is this correct?
    i remember reading that doing something like that will cause all raid volumes to show twice in finder

    You can connect both cables. It will work fine. The double-volume "issue" was fixed in 10.3.4 I believe -- so that's info that's 3+ years out of date
    You should see a performance increase doing this.

  • I want to connect to the internet using ethernet cable.

    I want to use ethernet cable to connect to the internet. I follow the instructions, I am still unable to connect to the internet with the ethernet cable. I want faster browsing and uploads and download speeds

    If you have a router connect an Ethernet cable from the cable/DSL modem to the WAN port on the router. Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the router's LAN ports to the Ethernet port on the computer. Open Network preferences, select the Ethernet port and click on the Advanced button. Click on the TCP/IP tab then select DHCP from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu. Click on the Apply button.
    Turn off the computer, router, and modem. Wait at least one minute. First, turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate connection to your ISP. Second, turn on the router and wait until the status light shows communication with the modem. Last, turn on the computer.
    If you do not have a router, then do the same as the above except that the Ethernet cable connects from the modem's Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port.

  • Connect MBP to TV using RCA Cables

    Hi. Is there a way I can connect my MacBook Pro to my older TV just using RCA?
    Basically I have Red, Yellow and White open ports on my TV and wondered if there was a cable or a converter of some kind that I could connect my computer to and then connect that to the RCA cables.
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: crystalfromshawnee

    Those are actually composite inputs (the yellow is video, the red and white are stereo audio), not RGB. Depending on what model of MacBook Pro you have, this adapter might work:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A
    If your MacBook Pro has a mini DisplayPort connector rather than DVI, then it's been reported that a mini DisplayPort adapter (available from Apple) and this converter:
    http://www.grandtec.com/products/video/untimateEZ.html
    works, but I have no personal experience with it.
    Either solution would require that you run the audio separately, from the headphone/speaker output of your MBP to the red and white inputs on your TV.

  • Connecting Macbook to PS3 using Crossover Cable

    I am attempting to connect my Playstation 3 to my Macbook. My Macbook is connected to a Telus internet stick which is successfully connected to the internet. I have just purchased a Nexxtech Crossover cable and have connected that between my Macbook and PS3.
    The issue is getting my PS3 connected to the internet.
    I have enabled internet sharing in system settings on the Mac.
    For the PS3, I am assuming to go: network settings, internet connection settings, custom, wired connection, auto detect, and then manual ip address. The problem I believe is the settings for IP address, subnet mask, primary and secondary DNS. It is these fields of information that I don't know how to fill.
    Much help is appreciated, I have been at this for hours.

    You don't need a crossover cable as at least the Mac is auto MDI/MDI-X.
    The PS3 should use DHCP and you might encounter problems depending on wether you have the firewall turned on or not on the Mac.

  • Connecting PC with SUN using RS232 cable

    I am trying to connect an RS232 cable from a PC com1 to SUN
    interface A. I started a getty on the SUN: getty term/a 9600
    And brought up Tera Term Pro on the PC and even tried Hyper Terminal.
    I have tried to set com1 to various settings 8 none 1 none, 7 none 1
    hardware, etc.... and even connected a breakout box and crossed pins
    2 and 3. Sometimes I get garbage and sometime I get Login: prompt
    that I can type into but Return does nothing. Does someone have any
    directions on how to set this up? I don't even know if the two RS232
    cables I have are compatable or not.

    Hello, Michael and John,
    I would like to add some additional information to John's answer.
    You can use Remote VISA on your Solaris workstation to access the VXIpc's VXI interface using the same VISA API you would use to access a local device. First, on your VXIpc, you should install VISA Server if it's not already installed. (It likely is already installed, so you can probably skip that step.) Then configure the VISA Server through your VISA options in MAX to start when the computer starts and allow connections from your Sun workstation. After setting up your VXIpc in this way, from your Sun workstation you can connect to any VISA resource on the VXIpc by specifying the resource string "visa://[address-of-VXIpc]/[local-resource-name]". "[address-of-VXIpc]" should be replaced by the IP address in the form "a.b.c.d", or by the VXIpc's network name, and the "[local-resource-name]" should refer to any VISA resource that is on the VXIpc, such as "VXI0::0::INSTR". You can even use viFindRsrc() to find remote resources with this mechanism.
    Using this information, you should be able to write your VISA application on your Sun workstation. To test your remote VISA setup, you can run NIvisaic on your Sun workstation to access the VXIpc interactively.
    Note that if you are doing a lot of single-point access, with functions such as viIn and viOut, or using other small transfers, these accesses will be considerably slower than they would be if written directly on the VXIpc, as each one must travel across the network to get a response, and networks have a high latency.
    Also, you will need NI-VISA 3.1 on your Solaris workstation to access your VXIpc this way.

  • Connecting HP Laserjet 500N using ethernet cable and router

    I had my HP Laserjet 5000N connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. It worked fine. But then I changed routers and can't remember how to reestablish the connect. 
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    no problems.
    There is a priority order when multiple networking interfaces are available.
    Ethernet is higher than Airport in the order.
    If both ethernet and Airport interfaces are connected to the network, then ethernet becomes the primary networking interface.
    If nothing is plugged into the ethernet port, then Airport will get control.

    You can use this : http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/51344/serial but let me tell you that last night I found the way to do it with Coolterm for free http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31352/coolterm
    I think that the problem is the installation , you have to copy to sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ProlificUsbSerial.kext or in my case  I used this as reference, now it is working....

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.
