MidiSport UNO to GarageBand with Yamaha DGX-500

Ok, I'm having serious trouble getting my set up to work. I own a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz (10.6.3) with 2 GB RAM, a Yamaha DGX-500 keyboard, and MIDI Sport UNO (newest model, latest drivers). I've connected the MIDI IN cable to the MIDI OUT on the keyboard and the MIDI OUT on the cable to the MIDI IN on the keyboard (and vice versa). The Audio MIDI setup recognizes both configurations, but seems to work better when the cable IN is connected to the keyboard IN. When I launch GarageBand, it recognizes that there is one MIDI input available. However, the software instrument tracks fail to produce any sound from the keyboard on the computer. The MIDI Sport UNO's LED illuminates that USB and MIDI IN are connected, but not MIDI OUT.
I'm totally in the dark about what I could be doing wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Since GB doesn't send any midi data out, the only connection you need between the keyboard and the interface is the keyboard's midi out to the interface's midi in.
When you have plugged everything in, does the little blue dot in the lower right corner of the LED window light up when you play a note?

Yamaha DGX-500 MIDI ... I have a bad feeling about this

Hi,
I am attempting to setup the Yamaha DGX-500 through my Macbook Pro to GarageBand 3. I have searched the forums and found that Yamaha is particularly problematic.
The Yamaha is connected through a M-Audio Midisport Uno USB-MIDI connector. I went to M-Audio's site and downloaded and installed the latest drivers (3.2.2). The Uno appears fine through the Audio Midi Setup panel. I connect up the keyboard and start to record. The first few notes are okay, but I have lots of missing notes and other notes sustain forever.
Other threads have suggested replacing the Uno with the Yamaha UX-16. I don't believe I will be able to return the Uno, so I would prefer to make it work if possible.
Any other suggestions or troubleshooting ideas I could try?
Thanks.

Connecting Yamaha DGX-500

I just bought an M-Audio interface and i have it attached with midi cables to my yamaha dgx-500. I have the interface on, the cables plugged in, my yamaha on and in the midi setting. The mac has no problem recognizing my interface and that there's a midi device plugged into it, but I still can't get the yamaha to work with garage band. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey Jman & Hangtime,
Did you guys ever resolve this. I have the same problem a Roland XP10. GB sees it and interacts via my midisport just fine, but I am limited in the voices to a standard midi set; I can't get all of the voices that I can get just by playing the Roland.
Midi from Roland to midisport. Usb from midisport to MBpro. And visa versa.
By the way, this post is being done from memory; I am not in front of it right now. I'm going to try some of the tips I found in these forums when I get a chance, and make sure its not just me being dingy.
Thanks in advance.

M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
This is an alert at the site
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
Thanks Steve

I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.

Failed to plug and play with my Yamaha PSR-500. What do I need?

I'm trying to connect my Yamaha PSR-500(A relative unknown keyboard even on the Yamaha site) and the plug and play function doesn't work. I did a internet investigation but al the things I found where useless...
-The keyboard is old.
-I use a MIDI-cable.
-iMac doesn't recognize the keyboard.
-Had the same problem with my ex-windows computer but then I found a good windows software...
Greatings and have a great night,
Nathan

I'm sorry but the Yamaha website distinctly says that the PSR500 has NO USB Connector.
It does have a midi interface in the form of IN and OUT jacks - 5-pin DIN type.
(These seem to be labeled the wrong way round. Either that, or my HOSA adaptor is labeled the wrong way round.)
The only other connectors (all on the back) are Power Adaptor, Pedal and Earphones.
NathanMac said that the Yamaha PSR500 is relative(ly) unknown, even on the Yamaha site.
However, they do offer some advice on how to connect here:

I hope this helps.

Anyone using the "MIDISPORT Uno" in OSX(10.4.4)?

hi, my earlier thread didn't resolve my problem, so i am trying to grab the attention of you guys who are using the same MIDI cable as me.
i have a Yamaha PSR 450, and the "MIDISPORT Uno".
i plug the MIDI plugs into my keyboard (I've double checked they are in the right slots)
and I plug the USB side into my Mac. the USB on the back, not the keyboard ones.
when i open up the MIDI setup, my mac recognises the "MIDISPORT Uno", and when i press "test setup" a high pitched bleep is heard, until i press it again.
when i open up garageband, i make sure that the track is a software track (i have tried several software instruments), and then i play on my keyboard.
what is heard is almost random intervals of nothing, correct notes and very low or very high incorrect notes with a long sustain.
90% of the time its the very low sustained notes. which don't change in pitch whatever key i press. the sustain lasts almost minutes after i have stoped playing. i have to un-click the software track to silence it.
i have tried messing with everything i can think of. nothing works. nothing helps.
hopefully someone here has used the "MIDISPORT Uno" with garage band and can help me setup.
*crosses fingers*
need any more info, just ask
thanks

Hello
I'm having the same problem...Has anyone had any luck in finding a driver and/or resetting some things on OS.
I have yamaha psr-27 and recently purchased the midisport uno and it has been giving me problems.
what is heard is almost random intervals of nothing, correct notes and very low or very high incorrect notes with a long sustain.
90% of the time its the very low sustained notes. which don't change in pitch whatever key i press. the sustain lasts almost minutes after i have stoped playing. i have to un-click the software track to silence it.
very frustrated...please help

Patch list for Yamaha DGX-505?

I need a patch list to paste into the Environment window so I can access the voices on my Yamaha DGX-505 keyboard (rather than the GM MIDI). I looked on the Yamaha website and could not find one; hopefully it exists.

yeah, i've got the jv1080 with latin, session and orchestral boards.
but the jv1080 is in the multi instrument, when you make new -> multi instrum,ent. just initialize the multi for jv1080. that should bring up the presets (4 banks) i think. if not give us your email address and i will post you my multi instrument. no problem.

Logic pro 8. yamaha DGX-640

i am using logic pro 8. i just bought a yamaha DGX-640 and want to have the piano's sounds recorded. i have done the obvious , plug it directly with a guitar cord into one of the adio channels but wanted to get it in with usb to a midi channel. is there a way to do that. what settings , if you know, do i need to set the piano at. the manuel, that came with the piano, is not very helpful

Automation data is always absolute unless the SNAP function is selected (which it is not!)
If these were automatic entries, why would they vary in EVERY case? The example shown varies by 0.3db but in others on the same automation recording at relatively similar speed of movement they may vary by 1db or even as much as 2db in some cases!!!!
Strangely, when editing the 1st of the two nodes by hand (lets say they are 15.9db and 16.2db respectively) the first node will never exactly match the second in value! i.e the next step from 15.9db would be 16.4db. Even worse - in the automation event list the values are shown as whole numbers without decimals!

Yamaha Dgx 220 iPad help

Hello everyone,
Last week after graduation, my aunt gave me the new iPad, which I love very much. I am currently using it to work on a movie project for a scholarship, and I'm using GarageBand for the audio. I wanted to use my Yamaha DGX 220 to record the instrumental. I first tried to record but as you may have guessed it turned out very badly. I then tried to use the Apple camera connection kit to connect the Yamaha keyboard to my iPad. Unfortunately I received the message that this USB device is not supported. I tried to look online for a solution but I could not find one for the iPad. For macs, it was suggested that an intermediary box of some kind be used. Would this work for the iPad? I would hate to go out and buy unnecessary hardware.
Thank you all in advance for your help,
-M65

is it a DGX-220 or PSR-220? My PSR has an OUTPUT on the back (to run to an amp) - simply run a standard guitar type cable (1/4" jacks) from the OUTPUT on your keyboard into your Mac's LINE IN (using a cheap Radio Shack 1/4" -> 1/8" mini adapter) and you can use the built-in sounds this way... Set it up as a REAL INSTRUMENT. Be sure to turn MONITOR on so you can hear yourself

Failed to Open FR report With Error code 500 - 'unable to process request'

I am running a load test against PBCS service. The service is load-balanced with 2 managed servers : EPMServer0 and EPMServer1
When I put the loads with 60 VUs -- all visiting FR reports, the service runs without error. But when the VU# increased to 90, it began to respond with Error code 500 - 'unable to process request'.
I tried to correlate the FRLogging logs to the errors, and found during the time those error happens, there are logs like this:

It looks like the servlet failed to open the datasource connection while handling the FR requests. But there are several data sources. My questions are:
1) Which datasource is corresponding to the issue? Is it EPMSystemRegistry?
2) What is the recommended configuration for the connection pool max capacity setting? -- current setting for EPMSystemRegistry is 30
3) Whether it could be a connection leak problem as only 90 concurrent end user is visiting and it failed to connect?
Thanks,

Report with more than 500 rows

I have a report with more than 500 rows and i donot know the total number of records returned from sql query before hand. Is there any way to dynamically set the MAX ROW COUNT in the report - layout and pagination.
Thanks a lot
Sudha

Hi All,
The main problem for the scenario is that....Say you first create a SQL query based report with setting the row per page 15 .Now after the region is displayed if u go through the report attributes of the page and change the no. of row per page and apply changes the same will not going to reflect in the report display page.
For ur case just select the no. of page u want to show while creating SQL Query based report region say 1000 and after creating the region go to the report attributes -> Layout and Pagination -> Max Row Count : 9000 (say).
I have solved the problem after creating 700 rows and the all rows displayed in the page fine........If u have further issue plz revert back to me.
Thats solve ur problem i think.....
Thanks n Regards,

WRT54G3G-ST has problems with Pantech PX-500

Hello All and Linksys Support (I hope),
I just got this WRT54G3G-ST and when I insert the PX-500 PRIOR to power up...
the WRT54G3G-ST will not complete it's bootup process.
If I insert the PX-500 AFTER power up... the WRT54G3G-ST may or may not see the card.
When it does see the card the blue Data-Card LED flashes along with the Power LED
but the system will not go online.
My Sprint card works just fine in my laptop PC.
I called LinkSys Support earlier and a Tech said that this unit (ending in -ST) does
NOT work with the PX-500 PCMCIA card. He said I needed to get the WRT54G3G-AT.
I think he is incorrect.
I found the following link on the web site: (you must reselect THE hardware version)
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1175237416666&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=1666641396B21&displaypage=nodata#versiondetail
When you go down to "Firmware updates" and take a look at the Version Info
you will see that this card IS supported:
Release Notes 2.00.9 Model Name: WRT54G3G-ST (for Sprint) v2.00.9_000 (2006/11/02)
1. Add Support for Pantech PX-500
2. Add support for Sierra AC595
v2.00.4_000 (2006/08/09)
1. Support Novatel S720
2. Support Novatel S620
3. Support Sierra AC580
4. Support Sprint PC5740
I am thinking that this unit is defective as far as the PCMCIA is concerned. Any Suggestions??
Message Edited by strben on 12-29-2007 09:43 PM

I have the same setup as you and it works. Looks to me like a bad router as the Pantech card works in your notebook.

Is Creative Audigy 2ZS Platinum Sound Cardcompatible with Yamaha Keyboards? (XG sound

Hi,
I have an Yamaha PSR -550 keyboard that can generate Yamaha XG sound forms in addition to General Midi. Now I want to buy a sound card that is 00% compatible with this key board so that I can connect it to computer.
Are Creative Audigy 2ZS Platinum/ Platinum pro sound cards compatible with Yamaha keyboards (especially when it comes to reproducing XG sounds)?
Thanks for your time
