What i need to hook up an alesis qs6.1 to a g5 i mac?

What exactly needs to be done to hook up a synthesizer to an i mac osx?
Thanks

AFAIK this Alesis does not have a USB connection: it outputs MIDI on a DIN (5-pin) socket: so you will need a MIDI to USB adaptor such as the Edirol UM-1EX. With this connected, go to Applications>Utilities>Audio MIDI setup and follow the instructions outlined in this page:
http://www.sonosphere.com/MusicSoftware/MacOSX/AudioMIDISetup/
This done, GB should detect the Alesis automatically. Remember that, connected this way, you will not be recording the Alesis's own sounds, only the instruments built into GarageBand.

  • My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!!

    My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!! The imac is a 21.5" and they also already bought an HD 21.5 ASUS LCD monitor to attach to it. I'm really trying to make this setup work but this is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions? I looked up  different VGA adapters but the only options for this would be a usb-vga connection which doesn't work on macs. Can anyone tell me if this new Thunderbolt connection will work in some way? Thanks

    Using the Thunderbolt port attach a Mini-display to DVI so long as the Asus display is equipped and capable, otherwise Mini-display to VGA will also work. The Thunderbolt port is ahead devices  which are not yet available to take advantage of the increased capacity in speed. Until the devices and connection cables are available, just use the port as a Mini-display port.

  • What cables do I need to hook up my vcr to a minidv

    Hi, I want to take my home videos (currently on vhs tapes) and transfer them to my mac mini computer so I can create dvds using imovie and idvd. I have the Sony DCR HC32 minidv (that has the "pass-through" feature). What cables do I need in order to hook my vcr up to the minidv, and what cables do I need to hook my minidv up to my computer? Thanks.

    VCR to Digital Camcorder using whatever the highest input interface the camcorder has in common with the VCR (be it S-Video, etc.).
    You need a FireWire cable to connect the Camcorder to Mini most likely if its a Sony unit. Check the manual. You will need a Mini-FireWire (probably 4-pin) to 6-pin adapter (this side plugs into your apple mini).
    That should do it, most likely iMovie will detect the Camcorder and start sucking down video.

  • What cords do I need to hook up my mac book pro to a Toshiba 32 T.V.

    I'm trying to find out if anyone can help me with finding out what accessories I might need to hook up my mac to my toshiba 32 T.V. I could probably use a little guidence when it comes to istallation as well.

    Assuming you have a recent MBP, i.e. purchased new in the last couple of years, and that your TV is modern one with HDMI inputs then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable.  Apple have one:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H7128ZM/A/mini-displayport-to-hdmi-cable-2m?fn ode=MTY1NDA3Ng&s=topSellers
    Installation involves connecting up the cable, then it's pretty much plug-and-play. The MBP should auto-detect your TV and you're good to go!

  • What do i need to hook up 2 dvi monitors to a mac mini

    what cable do i need to hook up a second dvi monitors to a mac mini

    I think I figured it out... use the HDMI to DVI (supplied) and get a Mini Display to DVI cable for the second monitor...?
    You are correct. Get the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter, in addition to using the supplied HDMI to DVI adapter.
    Mini Displayport is physically identical to the Thunderbolt, and a video signal (for one monitor) can be passed through the Thunderbolt port.
    Also note the max. resolutions under "video support" on Mini's tech specs:
    Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
    HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
    That may determine which of your monitors you hook up to which port. Also don't go nuts with monitors, the mini might not be able to drive them to their max resolutions.

    27 inch iMac to a 29 inch Dell Ultrasharp U2913WM monitor. What do I need to hook these two up?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That monitor has got a lot of ports you can use. The easiest and cheapest way to connect the iMac to the Dell monitor is through a Mini DisplayPort cable, because you do not need any adapter.
    Another way you have is to connect it through HDMI. In this case, you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable

  • Need to Upgrade Computer...What Steps to Re-Hook-Up Verizon?

    Hi,
    Our 2003 HP is overdue a retirement and I think I'm going to buy a replacement for Christmas as a gift for the family.  We currently have high-speed DSL and I don't know what I need to do to changeover to a new computer.  Do I use the installation CD which came with the initial package and reinstall?  If so, will it recognize that I am an existing customer, or will it create new user and account information.  I've looked through some of the original documentation and cannot locate any directions on this topic.  Is there a link to a page on the Verizon site?
    Any feedback will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    APB

    I'm using the DSL wireless router which came from Verizon, roughly two years old.  Westgate, I think is the brand.
    So, if what you guys are saying is correct, there are no "Verizon-specific" software items which will need to be reinstalled.
    I'm only asking because I have a variety of Verizon shortcuts on the desktop which were installed back when I initially hooked up and ran the installation CD.  Most are shortcuts which basically take me to 'My Verizon' and 'Verizon Support', etc., so I guess I could create new ones on the new computer (I don't use any of these anyway).
    If all I have to do is hook the modem cable to the computer, great!!

    You may have a problem with Nikon's driver software for the 10-year-old scanner, though — Nikon may not have updated it for compatibility with recent OS X versions. Check Nikon's site for updates.

    Guessing that your laptop and tv both have HDMI connector - get an HDMI cable - that should work.
    Otherwise, you would need Svideo and audio cables.

  • Question about what cable needed

    Anyone know what cable I need to hook the iPod up to a 2007 Tahoe with an iPod jack in the dash?

    I need help on a particular cable. I heard that you can use your Ipod by using a 3.5 MM to 3.5 MM cable if the car receiver has a 3.5 MM jack, this also applies to PCs by plugging into the headphone jack of your PC. Does anyone know if it is also possible if you use the same setup for a home stereo receiver by plugging into the 1/4" headphone jack? I'm just thinking for convenience and instead of the plugging it into one of the rear inputs of the receiver, will this work? Thanks.
