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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Keystation 49e toasted after installing Jam Pack

    I have an M-audio Keystation 49e that I have used mostly for music composition using my iBook and a nice shareware program, Melody Assistant. Lately my son has been using the keyboard a lot for composition on an iMac using GargageBand. He has been desperate for a JamPack to get better souunds, so I got him the Orchestral JamPack for his Birthday yesterday. The sounds are indeed excellent. However, a little while (~30 min) after installing the JamPack, the keyboard stopped working, first intermittently, like when changing an instrument, then completely. No sound, no indicator lights, nothing getting recorded. Thinking it was a driver problem, I installed the latest M-audio driver I could find (3.1) but no dice. Hoping to debug the issue, I plugged the keyboard into my iBook and now it doesn't work there either! When I try to use Melody Assistant, a weird error message comes up saying "An OS X midi driver has been recognized but gives do information about output destination." I tried our other iMac (without the new JamPack installed), and it doesn't work there either. Looking at the USB section under "About this Mac", the keyboard is being recognized correctly, but it does not seem to be able to send notes to any program on any of our macs. It seems like installing the JamPack has somehow broken the keyboard, but I have no idea how this could be or what to do about it. Any suggestions appreciated!
    Intel imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The M-Audio driver is irrelevant: it is used to recognize extra controls on the more advanced keyboards. The 49e does not require a driver.
    Since the keyboard doesn't work on another computer either it seems unlikely that the Jam Pack has got anything to do with it. I would suspect a hardware fault in the keyboard or the lead. Try replacing the USB lead first, then if that doesn't help you may need to see if you can get a repair.

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    ls -Odel

  • Keystation 49e problem

    hey y'all, looking for some help with my keystation 49e running on an intel mac 10.4.8
    its plugged in via usb, garageband recognizes the midi input, the midi utilities recognizes it.
    in garage band, after selecting a software track, no sound is produced upon playing keys; it simply doesnt register the keystrokes.
    strangely enough, however, the software is able to recognize when the volume slider is used on the keyboard - and when i play using the computer keyboard, i'm able to use the pitch blend and modulation wheels on the keystation.
    im suspecting a problem with internal settings of the keystation. I had been previously using it with Cubase on a windows machine, so it isn't exactly 'out of the box.' Does anyone have any clue as to what the problem might be?
    thanks a lot

    in garage band, after selecting a software track, no sound is produced upon
    playing keys; it simply doesnt register the keystrokes.
    Do you know that it isn't registering the keystrokes? Or are you guessing because you're not hearing anything?
    There is a little indicator "led" in GB that shows note information is being sent, but the easiest way to know for sure is to make sure a software track is selected and start recording. If MIDI notes appear in the green region, then the keyboard works. Either way, we can try to go on from there.

  • MIDI problems with M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

    I have an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI keyboard controller I use with any number of DAW's. Lately the MIDI signals have been acting very strangely when I updated to 10.10. I have updated all the MIDI drivers in my library and since the M-Audio products need no drivers for a MAC, there are never updates in either firmware or MIDI drivers.
    Example;
    When running any of the DAW's I open Kontakt 5 and assign a VI. I right click the volume knob on the VI and tell it to "learn MIDI" and when I move a fader on the KeyStation it's inverted. No gain is now Hi and vice versa. Anyone else having this issue with MIDI in Yosemite?

    Thanks Jord,
    I have been trying this out. So i set up a new preset bank and say label it 'Live', in this preset bank i then set up my preset.
    Everytime the M-Audio is turned off and on will i have to load the new preset bank 'Live' using Enigma, or will it be stored in its memory

  • Logic Pro with M-Audio Keystation Help

    I just got an M-Audio Keystation for use in my studio, and for some reason I can not get any sound. I am using my Logic on a G5 and i have it synched with my Mackie D8B in HUI mode. I know that the input of the Keystation is working correctly, as I can see it working in Logic, but the sound is no where in sight. Im guessing since I have the audio through the D8B it has something to do with that, because other tracks with work in Logic, but the keystation won't. Any ideas????

    Select an audio instrument track and assign an instrument such as an EVP88 and try it out.

  • My M-AUDIO Keystation Mini 32 stopped working right when I updated to Mavericks. What can I do to fix this?

    My M-AUDIO Keystation Mini 32 stopped working right when I updated to Mavericks. What can I do to fix this?
    Only 25 of the 32 keys are working. The last 7 keys are not. I tried to use it on both GarageBand and Logic Pro and it's all the same.

    I resolved with a very cheap USB hub (a simple gadget I had at home, nothing professional...)
