Edirol Audio/Midi Interface and Yamaha Keyboard

Hi everybody,
I just got an Edirol Audio/Midi interface UA-20, installed correctly with latest drivers, garage band recognizes it. Now I want to connect my old Yamaha PSR SQ16 keyboard through it, but somehow it doesn't work. Can anybody please give me a guidance on how to connect it properly, maybe i'm too dumb for that...
Thanks for any help!

I'm shure you must have already figured this out, becouse it's very simple thing to do, but I'll post my answer anyway, perhaps someone else has the same problem.
The Yamaha PSR SQ16 has a "MIDI OUT" plug, in the back of the sinthetizer. To connect with de UA20 Edirol, all you need to do is to get a midi cable (you can find it in every music store) and plug the Yamaha PSR SQ16 MIDI OUT to the Edirol UA20 MIDI IN.
And boy, that's it.
All the fantastic sounds and samples that cames with Garageband, are now triggerd through your Yamaha PSR SQ16.
Things to check: in the AUDIO MIDI UTILITY, be shure that the UA20 is set as de midi in out device.
In Preferences of Garageband, be shure to check that the UA20 is set as audio and midi interface.
Hope this be helpfull.
I apologise for my english, it isn't my first language.
Saludos

Mainstage2 Compatability With Audio/ MIDI Interfaces and Lion?

I've recently upgraded to a new laptop with Lion and my old interface is no longer supported.
Can anyone suggest a small unit that will work with Mainstage2?
I bought the Scarrlet and it works with Logic but not Mainstage2.
Thanks!

I don't think you should be touching the Audio/MIDI setup utility at all if you're just trying to listen to music. Those settings are there for those who do audio recording/MIDI work on their computers.
not true...
I use an external DAC connected through the digital output of the Mac Book Pro...Then, in order to play the music at the correct sample rate I DO have to change the setting in the audio/midi setup if using iTunes as a player.(before even open iTunes)
Amarra is a much better player than iTunes and it change the sample rate by itself without having to do it manually. But the issue remains, I just can not choose 88.2 KHz....
Any other ideas?

Can Anyone suggest and audio/midi interface for MacBook Logic Express?

Can anyone suggest an audio/midi interface for use with a MacBook and Logic Express? I'm seeing a lot of problems with Tascam devices; does anyone have an interface that actually works well? Two audio inputs and midi i/o would suit my current needs, but more would be fine if it works.
Thanks!

Any of the Pro-Tool Mboxs will work with Logic Express. Kind of an unadvertised feature. But I have an original M-box with very nice Focusrite Preamps that works like a charm. No midi though.. some of the newer M-boxes have them.
Also, I have a Presonus Firebox and I know they make some smaller interfaces. No problems working with those.
M-audio Makes some great interfaces too. Their Fast Track pro would probably have everything you need for under $200.

Audio/midi interface compatibility with Logic Express Mac osx 10.6.5

hi all, I'm looking for a compatible audio/midi interface to use with the latest mac os. I recently purchased a Ediroll UA25 but was unable to get it working . I installed the latest drivers from the Roland site but when plugged in it just wasn't being recognised. I sent it back and got a full refund but now I am insure if the Ediroll was faulty or if it wasn't compatible with os 10.6.5. I am now in the process of looking to purchase another interface but am looking for help from you guys.
Thanks in advance,
kiev

Hi,
just out of curiousity: did you use the UA-25 or the UA-25EX? I know the 25EX has a driver switch on it's back where you can enable a standard driver which should be compatible to OS X without an additional driver.
However, i didn't find another interface including a compressor except for the Yamaha Audiogram 6, if you need this feature.
If you don't need it, buy a MOTU, preferably with firewire, or a Presonus. If you want quality, maybe an Apogee Duet. I myself - due to shortage of funds - still use either my Tascam Fireone or my Alesis I/O 2. The Alesis sounds nice for it's price, but i won't buy any of these lower end interfaces anymore. You get what you pay for. I also used the Edirol UA-25EX for a time, but this was before snow leopard, so i can't really say "Yes or No", but it was definitely a very good interface compared to it's price. I won't recommend M-Audio, however, but others like it.

Audio/midi interface for macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4?

I have been running Sibelius and GarageBand with my keyboard and sometimes vocals in my imac with OSX 10.6 via an old Tascam US-122 interface. I now have a new MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.4, and am set up to run Sibelius and Logic Pro 9, but I can't seem to find a compatible audio/midi interface. There is plenty of discussion on M-Audio's site, but as of May '12, still incompatible. Ideas? Thanks. John

Yeah, the new MacBooks are USB3 i.e. you have to be careful which interface you use as some of them don't work yet.
Personally I have a NI Tracktor control 2 for live work ( works with USB 3 but no midi ) and a Focusrite Saffire for recording. My Saffire however is Firewire.
I do know that the Focusrite Saffire 6 is now working on USB 3 though. http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/saffire-6-usb + it works with Mountain Lion.
Sadly though it's still a backward compatible USB 2 inteface, but... if you're only recording Guitar and vox, this really won't matter to be honest.
Also I'd recommend Focusrite over M-Audio gear any day of the week.

Audio/midi interface, FW800 enclosure, nearfield monitors for MacBook Pro?

I'm running Logic 9 on my MacBook Pro, having switched over completely to a laptop based solution from my previous Mac Pro.
My previous audio/midi interface was a Digidesign FW400 MBox, but I want to switch to a USB audio/midi interface plus an external FW800 enclosure as my recording drive.
I am also looking to replace my aging Roland nearfield monitors with something smaller. I mostly run soft synths and plug-ins (I have an old UAD-2 PCI and am trying to crossgrade to the ExpressCard solution too).
And I'm running Snow Leopard.
S0 my questions are these:
1) What would be a good USB2 audio/midi interface. I only need 1 x 1 for the midi (but 2 x 2 would be nice), plus XLR and 1/4 audio ins and both analog and digital outs. Decent Mac drivers a must!
2) Any recommendations for very small but decent quality nearfield monitors? I like the Genelec's, but for whatever reason they only appear to have XLR ins. SPDIF or 1/4 analog ins would be cool -- anything compatible with 1) above.
3) What is a good recommendation for a FW800 enclosure? Obviously looking for something quiet. My only audio in would be vocals, and they'd be recorded in the same room as the drives. There are some fanless options out there, but upon enquiry I've been advised I'd have to shut them down every four hours or so. I do have an old FW800 OWC twin drive enclosure, but despite the 'whisper quiet' claims, that thing sounds like a taxiing Learjet.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or recommendations!

'Perfect' rather depends on what you want to do with it - microphone input? Level meter? Just a simple A-D converter? digital inputs?
I've used an earlier version of this device for some years with no problems (no MIDI though):
http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=758&ParentId=104
Other interfaces by Roland: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productlist.php?ParentId=104 - Edirol (taken over by roland) used to make MIDI interfaces as well but Roland don't seem to.

Problems recognising Edirol UM1 MIDI interface

I'm posting here because I know people who use Logic are very knowledgeable about these things ...
Our music department at school has 3 macs. One runs 10.3 and recognises the UM1 - MIDI works fine ... if only I can remember which to switch on first.
I took EVERYTHING to the next machine (running 10.2) - interface, cables and keyboard. Nothing. No lights or anything. We restarted, reintalled the drivers and all that sort of stuff. I even cleared out all the devices in Audio MIDI Setup and reinstalled the drivers. Now it won't even recognise the interface (system profiler just says Vendor Specific usb device).
I tried the M-Audio Oxygen 8 - no problems.
I even tried a new account, but nothing works. We are at a loss. I am the nearest thiing to a "Mac Expert" at school - Our IT manager just says things like "We said you should have bought PCs" (I wonder what he says when the PCs crash? I don't think he knows Unix!).
Strange thing is all the machines have worked with the interfaces before. They have just stopped over the summer break. Is there some magic sequence for settting up MIDI that I should know about?
We are running Cubase SE, but I doubt that makes a difference. We aren't getting that far!
Thanks ... but we need these machines running tomorrow for an Open day "see how good we are"!!!!!

10.2.8 ? or earlier ?
Probably earlier ... I'm at home now so I can't really check
If earlier update.
Not (legally) possible. I have Panther lying about, but it's mine; I have a iBook running Panther and it would be breaking the terms of the license to install it on another machine (but we all know this!)
Try trashing AMS prefs. ( ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio. AudioMIDISetup.plist )
I was looking for a pref to trash! Wouldn't creating a new account and logging in as that rule that possibility out though?
Dunno. I'll try tomorrow. In the mean time, have a "thanks" and a "+" on me

Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello,
Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello,
I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Annoyance with Audio Midi Setup and ports in Logic

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is annoyed with the way midi ports are addressed in Logic, in relation to Midi control of various commands in Logic.
A simple case in point for me is when I have my Virus TI turned on, I have one set up of logic_cs preferences and another for when my Virus TI is turned off. The only around this is to double up on the settings within the controller assignments window.
So you buy a new piece of external midi kit and all of a sudden all your previously setup controllers stop working..... So you have to re-enter them all again one by one.
Sometimes adding or removing a device, doesn't affect it at all... Just depends on the order of the ports on the physical input (in the environment).
If you could rename the ports in the Audio Midi Setup and change the order in which they appear, you might have some control over the random nature of the problem.
Has anyone else run into this, or am I the only bothering with it?
Matt

It's a well documented and long outdated situation.

M-Audio USB MIDIsport 2x2 MIDI Interface and macbook pro

i just got a m-Audio USB MIDIsport 2x2 MIDI Interface on ebay, but I can not find drivers so that it will be able to run on my macbook pro (which is obviosly Intel).However, there is one driver that can support it but its for firewire, which dose not make any sence because it is a usb controler.
here is a link to the driver list

You must have missed it.

I use it all the time when I travel. Cool and uncomplicated device.

MIDI tracks and outboard keyboards -- this is a real puzzler for me!

I'm brand-new to Logic Express (as of last night!). I've been a Digital Performer guy for years (back before audio tracks for sequencers weren't even thought of, and MOTU was making just Performer 2.x), but I recently purchased a new 20" Intel iMac, thinking that the new DP would support the Intel chip. Turns out I was wrong. Since several of my friends really like Logic, I thought I'd take the plunge yesterday and purchase Logic Express 7.2.
Here's my problem:
I can't seem to get Logic to recognize any of my keyboards. My set up is as follows: I have a MOTU Midi Time Piece AV (MTP AV) as a MIDI interface. On port 2, I have a Kurzweil PC88. On port 3, I have a Roland module. On port 4, I have a Korg Triton, etc. I have downloaded the latest MOTU driver that provides MacIntel support.
When I launch Apple's Audio MIDI Setup, my MTP AV and all my keyboards are recognized perfectly, along with their connections. When I went through Logic's Setup Assistant, the Setup Assistant recognized my keyboards.
However, when I open up a new Logic document, and I click-and-hold on the first MIDI track labeled "1 Grand Piano", none of my keyboards are recogized. When I click-and-hold, I get a pop-up menu that says (in part) "MIDI Instr.", with a sub-menu off to the right of it that says only "Drums Mapped" and "GM Device". There's no Korg Triton, no Kurzweil PC88, no Roland M-OC1, etc.
Granted, this is a totally new environment to me, so I'm hoping that I've just overlooked something simple.
Does anyone recognize this problem, and can you offer any advise?
Thank you!
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Have a look in the excellent tips for new users thread started by David Pye, or do a search on the Environment here, or in Help within Logic.
What you need to do is set up a new Multi Instrument in the Environment, in the Midi Instrument layer.
Select a new Mulit instrument for each keyboard. Select all the boxes so that none are crossed through. If you double click on the icon above the box you will see a box where you can enter patch names for banks within each device.
For this bit, and in fact for the whole lot, you may well find a specific environment for your devices at Swiftkick.com. Simply copy the patch names over, or open the environments and save them to your autoload as appropriate.
It sounds a bit complicated but once this is done you should be able to see your instruments when you hold the tack name as you are already doing.
Best of luck.

Midi interface and Mac G5

Hi guys.
I have G5 and I need midiinterface (say 4*4 or 8*8)
Now I have yamaha UX 96 whith USB. Timing of this interface is no good. All instruments (hardware) have "not strong" quantize after recording.
What interface I need to use?
In other forums I see " USB is no good". Can I make serial port (or else) on G5 and how? Or all I need- Is a good interface?

Have you selected it as the input / output using Audio MIDI Setup which you will find in Applications > Utilities?

Audio/MIDI Interface to replace a Tascam US-122L?

Hi guys,
I bought a Tascam US-122L off ebay last week to replace an Asio Alesis iO2, with the intention of using it for recording, multi-tracking and most importantly gigging (MIDI keyboard thru Mainstage) at a festival next week.
I had the usual problems that people have with the US-122L on OSX Lion, and have managed to get it working for audio but not MIDI, effectively rendering it useless for the biggest thing I need it for.
As a result, I have decided I need to find another interface as I really don't have time to spend all next week trying all the different fixes that may or may not work.
So, can anyone recommend an interface which:
- is fully compatible with OSX Lion, and Logic and Mainstage 2.
- has both audio & MIDI capability-for example the M-Audio Fast Track doesn't have a MIDI port, so it would be of no use to me.
- is USB powered, not mains
- is of decent quality for audio
- is portable- not much bigger than the tascam at the most, preferably smaller
I need to be able to pick one up second hand (online) for preferably less than £80, if possible. I'll be using it on a late-2011 MacBook Pro and have a powered USB hub.
Thanks,
Alex

works fine here on 10.4.8 and a 15" 1.5Ghz G4 powerbook and an old us-122
Just for the record: When i first open the aggregate device editor no devices show up.
They do when i hit the "+" next to "add and remove aggregate.."
