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

  • Losing midi connection from PC2 controller

    Logic is constantly losing midi connection with my MTP AV. Logic 9.0.2 OSX 10.6.8.... I have updated motu drivers, replaced usb cable to MTP, tried
    different usb inputs to MacPro. I can see midi getting to the MTP but logic doesn't see it after midi dropout. Problem can be fixed by resetting midi
    devices but irritating to have to do it every five minutes. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    I have a similar problem.
    I am sending midi from macbookpro (10.6.8), via motu828, to an iMac (10.6.8) via a midisport.
    The midisport always sees the midi input data, but I regularly loose the data within the iMac.
    Rescanning the MIDI system reconnects to the incoming midi data but this it troublesome when performing.

  • My soundcard is not picking up a midi connection from my Oxygen 8 keyboard

    Hi There
    I recently bought a Thunderbolt adaptor so I can start using my Edirol FA-66 Audio interface again.
    The Audio side of things seems to be working with no issues. However. I have tried connecting my Oxygen 8v2 keyboard to the interface via MIDI cable and connot get it to send of recive MIDI data. I have had a look in the AMS contol panel, the soundcard is showing up in the MIDI window but no connection to keyboard. I have maually tried using the virtual cables but thats not working either.
    It works fine via USB but thats not the point, I need the MIDI in to my soundcard to work,
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Regards

  • Incompatible with Yamaha YPG-625 keyboard for MIDI applications

    I received a keyboard, Yamaha YPG-625 for Christmas. When I went to connect to my Mac Pro, I discovered that the CD-ROM for MIDI applications is for Windows only. First, I cannot understand why manufacturers still ignore the Mac, particularly in the realm of medis, where Mac is considered superior. Any thoughts I this point? Second, does anyone know what steps I need to take to overcome this problem? Can the Windows CD-ROM be made to work with my Mac? I have Neo Office, MacLink Plus, and several other converters. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to respond. Al

    After reading your question carefully, I suspect that the Yamaha came with some MIDI editor software for which they did not provide a Mac version. If that is the case then I would agree with you that Yamaha is being lazy about giving Mac users some compatibility out of the box. I suspect that the Keyboard WILL work as a MIDI controller out of the box, however, and that you should be able to use it to control Garage Band, for example.
    That leads to the next question: What exactly do you want to acomplish on your MacPro using the Yamaha as a controller? Since it has it's own sounds you can record the audio output into Garage Band and then do any (basic) editing in there. The Yamaha seems to have pretty basic sequencer capabilities (6 tracks, 5 songs) so I can certainly see how using the mac to record and edit your MIDI would expand your capabilities. To be honest, as a ProTooler I'm not too familiar with Garage Band's MIDI editing capabilites, but I suspect it covers the basics. I also suspect that whatever software was bundled with the Yamaha is also pretty basic, or "limited Edition" versions, etc.
    If you are serious about recording and editing your music you might want to look into some of the other software packages that are out there. Logic Express from Apple is a pretty nice complement of features for $200 and Logic Studio for $500 should be able to do anything you might reasonably imagine is possible. There are others like Cubase, Ableton Live etc. If you need to do any recording using microphones, then you are likely to need some sort of audio interface with mic-pres and more than 2 input channels at a time. In this category, the MBoxes from digidesign are reasonable priced and you get ProTools software to boot.
    My advice is to get the keyboard working as a controller for Garage Band first, play around with that program to see what a MIDI/audio sequencer can do, and then decide what capabilities you're going to need in the future.

  • Yamaha YPG-625 connection to iMac

    Have a new iMac and am trying to connect the YPG-625 to it to use Garage Band and other software with the direct midi connection. GB is recogninzing the midi connection but nothing happens with software instrument.
    Loaded the drivers from the Yamaha site and installed...still nothing.
    Help!

    If you've found the answer, please let me know. My Yamaha ypg-625 is also not recognized by garageband. I'm using the USB port labeled "to host" from the back of the piano to the USB port on my intel Imac and the computer isn't recognizing it. I've tried different USB ports (1 and 2.0), I've downloaded Yamaha's midi usb drivers twice, and still nothing. It's very frustrating. The reason I recently switched to a Mac was to avoid this.
    Thanks

    When you insert a CD/DVD in the optical drive, does an icon appear on the desktop?  If not open Finder Preferences and check the appropriate box(s).

  • 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...

  • GB won't accept transposed MIDI signal from digital piano

    For some reason I can’t get GB to accept transposed MIDI signals from my Previa PX-120 digital piano. The connections are correct, from the piano to my MacBook through an Edirol UA-25 interface, and the signal is getting through fine. If I want to record with the piano in default C, there’s no problem. But if I transpose at the piano, GB continues to play it through the monitor in C (the master track is set up to the correct transposed key). The signal coming from the piano is fine, as I’ve tested from the interface to speakers, and the same thing happens when I feed the signal through a Kurtzweil MicroPiano and do the transposition there - GB goes on reproducing it as default C.
    The odd thing is that I had no problem with the same set-up with a Yamaha piano. This is probably irrelevant, but it’s strange.
    Any help very gratefully received as this is screwing up recordings with piano, voice and guitar, when the piano player needs to transpose in some keys.

    I’ve been asking myself the same question. The Privia manual is silent on the point and I can’t get a reply from their Support, though will try again. Unfortunately I’m no MIDI or sound technician, so know nothing about how transposed MIDI signals should work, but, having run tests again, the piano certainly seems to be sending an untransposed signal via MIDI. At least, when I connect the piano via MIDI to the MicroPiano the signal sent does not transpose (I was wrong in my first post about this), though I can then transpose it with the MicroPiano. This would be fine if all I wanted to do was then send it direct to speakers. But if I send the signal on to the Mac from the MicroPiano via MIDI, it doesn’t transpose either, and I’m back where I started.
    In other words, neither the Privia nor the MicroPiano is outputting transposed MIDI signal, only default C signal, and this is the problem rather than GB. Does this make sense?
    I’d be very interested to learn what you come up with re your Yamaha. I’ll get a colleague to try the same thing. And will also try Privia support again. But, meanwhile, if anyone else has any experience or knowledge, I’d really appreciate hearing.

  • Yamaha YPG-625 compatibility w/ Mavericks?

    I just upgraded from a 21.5 iMac (Late 2010) to a 27" iMac (Late 2012) so I can utilize the thunderbolt port for my new interface.
    Everything seems to be working fine and is compatible (M-AUDIO midi controller, yamaha electronic kit, new interface, etc) however my Yamaha YPG-625 digital grand is not being recognized (via USB).
    I have installed new drivers, tried new/different cables, tried this cable on the m-audio, and even tried searching for it in Utilities-Audio/MIDI setup....NOTHING seems to work!  Is this not compatible with Mavericks via USB (acting as MIDI)?
    I am using Logic Pro X and it worked just fine on my last iMac.
    Thoughts?  Ideas?  Thanks!

    PPC Macs can't run 10.9. I've requested this post be moved to a more appropriate forum.

  • Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

    Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
    We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
    We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
    In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
    The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
    <session-tracking
    cookies="enabled">
    </session-tracking>
    This all works fine in most cases.
    The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
    1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
    2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
    If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
    oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
    From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
    Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
    The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
    Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
    We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

    You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
    I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
    Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
    I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
    I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
    I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

  • Midi out from Audigy2

    Hello!
    I have a Audigy 2 ZS (not Platinum, no front panel) with connected game port. With keyboard via midi cables I can play midi in, but
    how can I make the computer play midi to the external synthesizer? I mean is it possible to take MIDI OUT from the card without Platinum Front Panel?

    Any suggestions on getting midi out from Reaktor as an AU plugin?
    The AU standard in contrast to VST doesn't support MIDI output of plugins. But you can get basically the same effect using Reaktor standalone, slaved to Logic with MIDI clock and sending MIDI from Reaktor to Logic over IAC.

  • Transferring midi data from Atari to Mac.

    Like many of the "older" hands here, I started sequencing on an Atari ST1040 and still have many old DD floppy-disks full of my songs in the old Emagic Notator (_.SON) format. Well I held on to the old Atari and it still works well but what I would love to do is get those songs into Logic Pro 8.
    What I have found out and done so far is...
         - successfully exported a Notator song file to a midi file on the Atari.
         - successfully connected the Atari to my MacBook (using midi lead from Atari midi out, through M-Audio midisport USB into MacBook USB port.
         - successfully established communication between the two computers and transferred one midi file, ending up with a single midi track in Logic, containing (I think) most of the information, but all crammed into a single track.
    What I haven't been able to do is enable proper sync between the two (I simply set Logic bpm to that of the Atari, pressed "record" in Logic and then "play" on the Atari). I can't seem to find this sync setting in Logic.
    I am also unsure as to what to set the new track to in Logic as it seems to work in a limited way, whether I select "External Midi Instrument" or "External Sequencer". Common sense seems to suggest the latter, since Notator is indeed an external sequencer as far as the Mac is concerned.
    So what I'm really trying to achieve here is:
         1. Proper sync so that the timing doesn't wander during transfer
         2. The same number of tracks in my original midi file, transferred  into Logic. (I tried enabling the right number of tracks, even setting the individual midi channels but it just record onto the first track and ignores the rest.)
    Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong, what I need to do now or any help or advice as to how to get this to work properly would be most welcome.
    Cheers!

    I think you'd be better off just transferring the .son data file in it's raw form.  Anyway to get that midi info onto a more modern storage device and then load it into Logic that way?
    I'm not sure what kind of useful data interfaces are possible on the Atari.
    Original Emagic dudes probably have some suggestions as this would have been somewhat common a decade ago.
    The midi porting seems to create a jumble rather than your segregated parts.

  • Ti Polar MIDI connection to Logic Studio 8 (Really in Need of Help)

    Hello virus and Logic Pro Users. I'm in need of desperate help and would appreciate anyones guidance with the issue I have. I have managed to connect my Ti Polar to Logic Studio 8. However, I have came across the issue of MIDI Channels.
    So here is the problem:
    For simplicity lets assume I have two tracks. Track 1 is piano, track 2 is strings. I set track 1 to MIDI channel 1 and track 2 to MIDI channel 2 on logic studio. Remember that all sounds are coming from the external device which is my Ti Polar. So, I record my piano track and I'm ready to move on to the second track. *NOW, when I click on the second track and change the keyboard's sound to strings, my first track (piano) changes to strings as well :(*
    *What should I do to freeze or lock track one with the sound I assigned to it?*
    Furthermore, *I want Logic studio 8 to be set in a way that when I click track 1, my virus Ti jump to the sound that I had set up (e.g. Piano) and when I click on track 2 the Ti automatically goes to the assigned sound (in this case strings).*
    Plizzzzzz help me here. I've been trying to read the user manual for Logic and has helped me to some extent but I can't figure this one out.

    Thanks for the help. I tried to figure out as much as possible and I think I did exactly what you said... went to environment and created a complete Ti 16 MIDI CHANNEL (16 small squares in a big square shaped thing.
    Bust still... when I record track 1 and move on to track 2 - channel 2 to record (which on my access Ti keyboard I manually change its midi channel from 1 to 2 by going to Config section), when I play back, only midi channel 2 or basically the track that I just recorded (track 2) plays back. Track 1 stays silent. Also when I change the tracks (e.g selecting track 1), I don't see any changes on my keyboards screen. If it functions well, I believe, every time I change the track, the sound of the keyboard has to change to the specific sound I have assigned to. Please clarify this for me its so confusing and frustrating.... Thank you.
