M-Audio Keystation 49e - USB Midi Keyboard  and  Motion Midi behavior

Has anyone tried the Motion 2 Midi behavior feature with the
"M-Audio Keystation 49e - USB Midi Keyboard"?
Does it work well?
This is it.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that this is the other midi keyboard I am looking at:

Does anyone have any of these two keyboards to use with motion?

  • M-Audio Keystation 49e not recognised

    I am using an M-Audio keystation 49e with garage band and for some reason, I cant get it to be recognized as an input device. What am I doing wrong? The blue light is on but when I go to system profiler, I dont see it on the USB list. Help!!!

    That's actually a good question. I have not yet, because I don't have another USB cable that fits into the back of the keyboard. However, I can't imagine that's the problem because, the computer still recognizes when the MIDI is plugged in and when it is not. Both in the Audio MIDI Setup and Garageband, it recognizes a MIDI is plugged in. I have not tried playing it through the keyboard though and I run the sound through some Bose speakers. I can hear other things coming out of the speakers (i.e. if I play some loops or something), so I'm not sure if that is the case). I just don't understand how the computer can recognize the MIDI, but not recognize me playing anything on the keyboard. Is it worth buying a new USB cable?

  • M-Audio Keystation 49e not recognized

    I am trying to use an M-Audio Keystation 49e, USB. It does not come up on the USB bus as a connected device. The power light comes on so I know the USB connection is there. I also connected it to the keyboard of my old iMac and got an error that it was drawing too much power. What am I doing wrong?

    I have the exact same problem. The M-Audio 49e will not work on Macs for some reason. I have tried another MIDI keyboard on my Mac and it worked fine. My 49e will light up also when connected, but it won't work with any program on Macs for some reason. It works fine on my PC.

  • Problems with M-Audio Keystation 49e midi keyboard after 10.4.7 upgrade

    I've noticed a problem with my midi keyboard and GB3 after this most recent OS upgrade. You start playing the keyboard using some instrument such as Grand Piano. After a while there is no sound coming out. You must turn off/on the keyboard, then it starts working again. Sometimes its not as easy, and it requires shutting down GB and restarting. This morning I had to actually reboot the machine before I could get any sound.
    This is really a pain in the neck. My son is trying to practice his piano and keeps having to power cycle the keyboard every 5 minutes.
    Any suggestions? This has happened before the OS upgrade, but it just seems to be happening more in the past few days.
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    To clarify my early post, I don't care for the feel of the controller, I own one as a back up, it sits around and always works perfect (plus it takes no drivers!) every time I plug it in. My friend has had one for a couple years as his main controller and recently it has started to give some ghost midi signals while recording (unintentional pitch and mod animations while recording) I was at another place recently where we had one that would not respond at all, 1 mac desktop, 1 powerbook and 1 dell laptop. All around I see this keyboard everywhere and it works fine for almost everyone on every computer, plus the one I own is perfect. But I have had some mixed results in my personal experiences with the device. I would be surprised if this device has developed an issue because of the mac os update, that sounds like a coincidence in my opinion because the device is "class compliant" and does not require drivers; but that is my opinion and a SWAG (the term SWAG is property of hangtime and borrowed, I hope HT takes no offense)

  • M-audio keystation 49e suddenly out of tune in logic 8

    I've searched these forums and elsewhere on the net and haven't found a solution to my particular problem.
    My M-Audio Keystation 49e keyboard controller (it's an old one, probably 8 years or so) is suddenly playing notes at about 31 cents flat in every softsynth that I've played it on today (EVP88, EXS24, Camel Alchemy, Dan Dean Bass). It's worked fine for years. I'm running Logic 8 under OS 10.6.7.
    It does this no matter what octave setting I have it on. I haven't used any of the Advanced Functions of the keyboard, but just to be sure I followed the manual's instructions to reset everything (as best as I could anyway...it just said to press the Advanced Functions key and then tap the C#3 key to clear whatever settings I had, which were none). The pitch wheel is a springy one and is physically in the right spot - I saw in some discussions about making sure it's set to 64 but I'm not sure how to check that.
    Any thoughts on this? I'm not sure if the problem is within the keyboard or within Logic and am not sure where to look next. In the meantime, I've pitched up the EVP88 by 31 cents and that at least gets the notes in tune, but I don't want to do that for every synth I play and then have to go back and change them or be confused by it later ha ha!
    Thanks for any help!

    Not liking these new Apple forums. Just lost my latest posting....aargh! Wish I had copied what I had written before the error....
    Basically, this link http://www.logic-users-group.com/forums/showthread.php?t=686 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/12935908?messageID=12935908 seemed to help. Looking in the Environment, I clicked something (not sure what) that put the synth back in tune. Then I went to Project Settings as described and checked the Pitch Bend Input Filter. Oddly, after doing that, the pitch bend rests at 53 instead of 64 and I'm back out of tune.
    I'm guessing that it's time for a new controller. Sigh.

  • 2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

    IN SHORT:
    2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well?  There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them.  Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
    IN DEPTH:
    I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power.  A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for.  My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work).  I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power.  Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord?  I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
    Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
    By the way I mostly use garageband

    hey mate
    Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub.  They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com.   There are tons to choose from.  I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard.  You will need the lightning usb adapter too.  You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub.  So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

  • Use of M-Audio Keystation 49e

    I can't seem to get the M-Audio Keystation to work. Under the System Profile, Hardware, USB, it appears that the system recognizes the keyboard because it is listed under USB Bus. However, tMIDI Setup is empty and it won't allow me to add the device. Garage Band doesn't recognize the keyboard. I've contacted M-Audio and they say it's an Apple problem. I've contacted Apple support and the individual who I spoke with said they couldn't help. Doesn't anyone have an idea on what the problem might be?

    first, does yours even say that a new midi port is connected, or something like that
    second ,there's no way that your keyboard needs an external power supply, heres ur problem, if this doesn't work for you, post back and i'll give you a different answer, when you power up garageband, and you see the first track selected (usually its the regualr grand piano, but if its not thats alright) just go to select new track, and when the menu pops up click on any of the instruments, and hopfully you can just play them w/ your keyboard from that menu, once you select one and its in your garageband, your good to go

  • Can't get m-audio keystation 49e to work

    Hi everyone i'm having a lot of trouble getting the keystation 49e to work with logic pro 9. When I plug the keyboard into my macbook I can only play sounds through the virtual keyboard (hitting caps lock), however logic recognizes the when move the volume slider and when I play a note on the virtual keyboard logic I am able to bend the pitch using the pitch bend wheel. I can not play sounds with the keys on the key station though. logic recognizes the volume slider along with the pitch bend and modulation wheel, but I when i press the keys on the keyboard nothing happens. Anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks

    Have you already checked your preferences to insure your macbook is selected as your input device? Are you sure your keyboard isn't trying to play very high or very low octaves of where the instrument normally plays? Check the keyboard at higher and lower octave ranges.
    I find that most problems I have with midi keyboards are solved by closing Logic and restarting the computer.

  • Windows 8 USB wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13.3" late 2011 base model running Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion). I am planning on installing the Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit). The requirements state that I need to use a USB keyboard and mouse to get the drivers going once I am in Windows. My question is whether my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, which connect via a USB to my MacBook, will work in Windows 8 with the same functionality so I can run the executable file to download the drivers. Also, as a follow-up question, is Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit) a safe install for me through Boot Camp?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rith=Apple4Life

    Really? Have you installed Windows 8 onto your Mac because in some videos I have watched, I have seen people not being able to use the built-in keyboard and trackpad until the drivers are installed by using the .exe file. Anyway, for backup, I have secured a wired keyboard and mouse just in case and will be installing Windows 8 soon. It would be nice to download the RTM version, but I wouldn't trust any source other than Microsoft itself.
    Thanks,

  • TA48312 USB Slim Keyboard and Optical Game Mouse Combo

    My mouse will never work when I turn on my iMac (Lion)... Does anyone know what might be the problem? The keyboard (Macally Slim Keyboard and Optical Gaming Mouse I just purchased when my Mac keyboard got a drop of water on two keys and stopped working all togetherl) I just can't seem to find out why the mouse won't work. Thankfully I have my Mac Mouse that will plug in and then I can unplug it and plug in the new mouse, but what a hassle. I have looked on the Macally site and the Mac software site and just can't find any answers.
    Anyone?? HELP???!!!

    Try doing 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets back to back, instructions can be found by clicking and carefully following the directions in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

  • Communication problem between USB MIDI keyboard and logic

    Haven't used program in a while, but ready to record a bunch of new stuff and when I started up Logic I cannot get my keyboard to send logic a MIDI signal. I don't ever remember having this happen before. I have always just plugged my keyboard in through the USB port and it works fine but there is no signal at all in the transport window where it says 'no in no out.' Usually whatever chord or note is played is read here as well as note velocity. I thought I could troubleshoot this on my own but I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of that might be the problem is that I have upgraded to 10.5 from 10.4 since the last time I've done any recording. I also have an older version of logic (7) but I don't want to upgrade as I (at one point anyway) was pretty familiar with this version and I have the book to this version. Please help!
    Thanks

    That seems like the most likely reason that it doesn't work now - you don't say what kind of keyboard it is, but I'd look on the manufacturer's website to see if there's a 10.5 compatible driver available.

  • Airdrop not working between iMac mid 2011 and MBA mid 2013

    Hi everyone,
    This week I bought a MBA 2013 for my girfriend and myself, they see eachother when attempting to use Airdrop, flawlessly transfering files. I have an iMac from mid 2011 which will not see either MacBook AIr over Airdrop. It is quite annoying to say the least. I have read around the posts here and there seems to be little to no support for this problem, which seems to afflict quite a few people.
    They are all on the same network, all have file sharing enabled in system pref. and all of them clearly support Airdrop. I have deleted and re entered my Apple ID info to no avail.
    Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It seems like there are enough people to warrant intervention on Apple's part.
    Looking forward to any and all replies, cheers Pluckaduck

    This article explains:
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    From one of the Macs looking for the iMac, start AirDrop in Finder and get to the following display:
    Presumably you do not see the iMac, so click the "Don't see who you're looking for" link.  That will display this:

  • Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard, garage band/MAC and Alesis 8.0multitrack mixer, or should I go direct into the USB of the Alesis with my keyboard into the mixer?

    Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard and alesis 8.0 multitrack mixer when interfacing with Garage Band? Or can I just go direct USB MAC into the Alesis Mixer with keyboard directly into the Mixer? ie, is the interface overkill?

    First of all the Alesis 8.0 is a usb audio interface so you already have a interface. Next you could go from the Roland into the Alesis into the Mac. You could also go from the Roland headphone or line out into the Mac Pro audio input. And depending on what Roland keyboard you have, you may be able to use Midi (usb) and use the Macs Midi voices.

  • Looking for reccomendations for a midi keyboard/audio interface.

    I heard that I can buy a MIDI keyboard that also acts as an audio interface for Garageband (or other audio programs). I would like a keyboard with a decent octave range; weighted keys would be nice but that may be asking too much. Anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks,

    There are few combined keyboard interfaces about: M-Audio make a couple:
    http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.list&ID=audiointerfacekb
    but I don't think they are at all a good deal. For the money you would do much better to buy an M-Audio Keystation 49e or 69es and a separate audio interface such as Edirol's cheapest one, the UA-1EX or possibly their more expensive but more highly featured UA-4FX: or the Tascam US 122L.

  • I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

    I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
    Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.
