Using my piano sounds not Garageband

Hi, now this is probably a real easy solution but I just started using GB this weekend, so..
I have a Yamaha P-250 and is connected to my laptop using the midi out option which I would like to use Garageband. My Yamaha Piano has hundreds of different instruments built in and would rather use these rather than the ones in GB. How can I just record in GB using the sounds purely from my piano and not the GB piano for example?
Hope this makes sense..!

Makes sense, but isn't possible, since GB doesn't send midi out signals back to your keyboard. You'd have to upgrade to Logic to do that. If you want to use your keyboard's sounds, you can only record the audio to a real instrument track, but then you won't be able to edit your tracks.
There is a plugin called MidiO that will accomplish what you want - you can send the output of a real instrument track out via midi.

  • I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7, and I use a Roland RD700GX keyboard to input midi data into Logic.  How do I set up Logic to record the Roland's own internal Grand Piano sounds into Logic, while retaining the ability to make midi edits? By Eggie

    I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 on a mid-2011 Intel iMac running OS10.7.4. I use a Roland RD700GX as my midi input keyboard.  How can I set up Logic to record The RD700GX's own internal Grand Piano sounds, while retaining the ability to take advantage of Logic 9's midi editing capabilities. I am a relative newcomer to Logic, and I haven't been able to find an answer in The Logic 9 User Manual. A step by step procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.

  • GarageBand won't record. Built-in microphone used to work, but not anymore-

    I have an iBook G4, Mac OS X 10.4.10. My GarageBand is Version 2.0.2
    I have built-in microphone that used to work great in GarageBand, but now is showing no input. When I try to record it isn't hearing anything.
    Under GarageBand Preferences it says 0 MIDI input(s) detected.
    Under System Preferences > Sound > Input "Internal Microphone; Built-In" is selected; but next to "Input Level:" none of the ovals are filled. Hope this makes sense.
    Please help if you can. Thanks!

    Interesting, this could be an issue with the firewall on the router blocking the scanning ports from being accessed. I do wan to start by performing a complete uninstallation and reinstallation though my method, so we can establish a clear baseline on troubleshooting. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu and click Run type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer: 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-109010-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Install that and let me know the result! 
    Additionally, if you can connect the printer directly though the router with an Ethernet cord and install the printer through that method, I might be easily able to determine if there is or isn't a firewall on the router. 
    Have a great day!

    Hello smarty007,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From your description, it sounds like you are having issues with others hearing you while using speakerphone. For these symptoms, the following article provides the most relevant information. On the iPhone 4, it is commonly due to a third-party case blocking the top microphone:

    My computer also recently downloaded soundflower? I didn't approve of this change
    I'm not sure what that means, but if Soundflower really is installed, uninstall it according to the developer's instructions. Back up all data before making any changes. Reboot and test.

  • Installation folder not found.  Kontaktplayer2 will terminate?  I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband.

    Kontaktplayer2 will terminate?  I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband what gives?  I downloaded all my midi plugin's to run my M-Audio midi controller, but the patches are gone from GarageBand.  I recently had all my files "Migrated" from my old Macbook to my new one and since I have my new Macbook (only a week old) I haven't been able to use the GarageBand patches.  Can anyone give me advice?

    If you did a Restore operation using the current version of iPod Updater and you still get the same results, then you should take it back and get a new one.

  • TS3171 Why are most of the sounds not available? eg no steinway or yamaha pianos, virtually no guitars...

    Why are most of the sounds not available? eg no steinway or yamaha pianos, virtually no guitars...

    Hi
    Assuming that you purchased Logic from the Appstore, did you download all the additional content?
    Go to the Logic Pro menu and choose "Download Additional Content".... there's loads to download, so it is probably best to do it in batches.

    Yes I do spend a lot of time in China but I have had problems in other countires as well.  I am in China right now.
    I have two Gmail accounts and one Cox account.  Cox is my intranet provider back home.  I have had problems with all three accounts. 
    I have tried several outgoing port settings.  993, 995 465, 587 are some that I can remember trying.
    Sometimes my accounts will go offline without me doing anything.  This is all a mystery to me.  I don't have any idea why I have trouble like this.  A few minutes ago I changed my Cox account outgoing port and took the account on line and I got my incoming email but when I tried to forward an email that I got it would not go out. 
    Any ideas you have would be helpful.

    Hey Manuel,
    I myself had the same issue, no sound and nothing indicating a problem. Insert your apple disc and click repair, reinstalls all the drivers, this fixed it for me, although I had several other drivers fail some weeks later, so started from scratch and been good for a month or so

  • No sound in garageband after Lion install.

    No sound in garageband after Lion install, can anybody help please?

    12 hours ago my midi played through Garageband with no problems. Today it does not play. The Garageband window shows that the keys are being played.
    In the moments following I turned on iTunes and all was fine so I burned a disc in my usual factory installed burner, late 2008 iMac, and the message was "no disc burner found". I turned iTunes on and off and same message. Ran Disc Utility and no flags. I am using the Disc Utility that is on my desktop. Is there a hidden Lion disc utility? Nothing worked unless there is a hidden function.
    I was able to burn using Toast. This would indicate that the problems is with iTunes 10, OS 10.7.1
