Yamaha mm8 to iMac

I have a Yamaha MM8 that I'm connecting directly to my iMac via a USB cable in order to play/record the keyboard in Garageband, but nothing is coming through. I've downloaded the software for it but still nothing registers in Garageband. What am I missing?
Any info would be great!
Thank you,
Jason

Do you really have the latest driver? Look here:

  • Connecting Yamaha keyboard to iMac through Midi

    Help!!
    I am trying to connect my keyboard to my iMac (10.5.8) for GarageBand. It is going from Midi out to USB. I went into the Utilities pane and saw the keyboard there. I went into GarageBand under preferences and it stated that it detected 1 midi device - however I can not hear it. There is no option in the drop down menu for me to select it. I downloaded the driver for the M-Audio cable I am using and installed it. That didn't seem to make a difference.
    Any suggestions?

    make sure the controller is connected to the interface correctly:

  • Connecting Yamaha CVP303 Electric Piano to iMac

    The iMac and Garageband are both very new to me. My kids are all piano players so I thought it would be great for them to discover work with Garageband and connect our Yamaha to our iMac. I understand that I can use a Yamaha UX16 midi interface cable to connect the iMac to the piano, however the cable is only 6 feet long which is about 10 feet to short. I am not able to relocate either the iMac or the piano.
    My question is whether there is a way to extend this cable or if there is another interface cable that will work.
    Thanks!

    I would rather connect via wireless too.
    you'll drive them nuts, the latency would be unbearable.

  • Connecting yamaha psr-292 to my iMac for midi

    I have never worked with midi or GarageBand and I want to start. I have an old Yamaha PSR-292 keyboard with a 6-pin MIDI-IN port and a 6-pin MIDI-OUT port.
    My iMac has three USB ports.
    I'm at the beginning of this and just trying to figure out how to connect my Yamaha to my iMac so I can play a piano piece on the Yamaha and record it into GarageBand and create a CD. Right now I'm not looking to mix or do anything other than play a standard piano piece and make a CD of it.
    Is the connecting as simple as buying a specific cord with two 6-pin heads on one end and a USB head on the other? Can anybody advise a complete newcomer?
    Also if you want to suggest websites that would help me, I appreciate it. I'm not being lazy about this; I HAVE looked on-line and couldn't find the answer to this question. Thank you.

  • Mac mic issue

    I have been trying to input a real music track with MIDI. My question is: how can I record without having the built in mic picking up the key noise from my Yamaha keyboard?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    I'm still missing something. The mic will create no
    sound on a "software" track.
    Make sure your "Software" (MIDI) track is selected,
    and the only one enabled for recording.
    As a side note: you can change your System
    Preferences-> Sound ->Input to Line-In, which
    disables the internal mic.
    Side Note^2: on "Real" tracks turn Monitor
    "off" and you won't hear what's being recorded to
    those tracks.

  • How to set up an existing Yamaha N12 with a new iMac

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I just bought a Yamaha N12 mixer Dec 2009 last month and been trying it with my MacBook Pro. It's firmware has been updated to work with the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver, and it's been communicating fine with the my MacBook Pro.
    Now the problem. I just bought an iMac 27' running Mac OS X 10.6.2 last week.
    How should I get the N12 to talk to my iMac? What sequence of driver installation should I go about?
    Should install all the Tools for n/mLan drivers that came with the N12 installation discs still? And then carry on with installing the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver over it? Or can I straight away install the latest Yamaha Steinberg FW driver?
    I'm afraid of technical problems as I might have screwed up my first iMac's firewire 800 port when I installed the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver straight away. Luckily the Mac shop was kind enough and willing to give me a one for one replacement of the iMac due to the firewire port problem. I'm not sure to what extend the firewire800 port problem might have with the FW driver installation or if it was a manufacturing defect. In anycase, its a one-time only exchange. And I now have the replacement iMac, and the firewire800 port is working fine. I'm now hesitant to install anything so that the iMac can talk to my N12 in the worry that it might affect anything if I did the wrong steps especially the firewire 800 port.
    Please help if you might know of the correct steps? i just want my N12 to talk to my new iMac without any possible spoiling of my firewire 800 port due to wrong installation steps on my part.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Regards,
    BG

    What does Yamaha's User Manual says about driver installation? Did you follow the instructions as indicated with your 1st iMac? Are there any notes in the driver installation instructions saying that there is a risk of damaging a FireWire port when you do something in the wrong order? If so, you must follow these instruction carefully in order not to screw up the 2nd iMac, I presume.
    However, from my experience, you can't really "screw up" a port by installing a driver. But you must also be aware that the driver has to be suitable for the current operating system of your iMac (that is for Snow Leopard or Mac OSX 10.6.2)

  • How can I get Apple Airplay to work on a Yamaha Reciever from a 2010 21.5 iMac

    I have a brand new Yamaha Reciever.
    Apple airplay is an option with
    this newer stereo reciever.
    From what I know my 2010 iMac
    is outdated for this purpose. I don't
    have the cash for Apple Tv. I'd like
    to be able to stream my iTunes
    into my Reciever without connecting
    my iPhone to the device. One
    of the key selling points was
    Apple airplay. Yet, my computer/
    reciever looks like it's
    unable to detect each other. I could
    use some expert advice at the
    moment?

    Sorry, but the Yamaha Receiver is not conpatible with AirPlay.

  • I just got a new iMac. And I wondered if I can. Use my yamaha speaker system with subwoofer?

    I just got a new Iimac and I wondered if I can use my speaker system from my last pc, the speakers are yamahas with a powered subwoofer ?

    If your presumably "amplified" Yamaha speakers have a USB connection, then it should work fine with your iMac by connecting the USB connection and THEN going into your Mac's Applications folder>System Preferences>Sound>select the "Output" tab and select the Yamaha speakers shown in the list below.  That should do it.
    Hope this helps

  • IMac Compatibility w/Yamaha RX-N600 Network Receiver via CAT5 LAN?

    I just purchased the new Yamaha RX-N600 6.1 Channel Network Home Theater Receiver. While I could have purchased the optional Yamaha YDS-10 iPod Dock, my iMac G5 already has all of my iTunes playlists, so I was hoping that I could connect the two through my CAT5 ethernet LAN system in my house. Upon reading the instruction book (after I opened the box) it states that I need to upload Windows Media Connect 2.0 from Microsoft's website onto my PC. Great. Going to that website, there does not appear to be any version available for Macs.
    Assuming the Yamaha is not compatible w/iMacs (although the optional iPod Dock would seem to suggest otherwise), is Airport Express my only other option? Would Airport Express still allow me to use my CAT5 ethernet LAN?
    FYI: Yamaha's website states: "Using a local area network (LAN) connection and Windows Media Connect technology ver.2 or better, Yamaha Network enabled receivers allow you to play MP3, WMA and WAV music from up to four (4) PC’s. The receiver can even be used as a client for Yamaha’s MusicCAST home music server, seamlessly integrating with the MCX-2000 digital audio server within your LAN. The Network Receiver also provides the ability to listen to any of the thousands of stations available on Internet radio when connected to a broadband Internet connection. By using the included vTuner data service that is enabled, looking for content on the Internet couldn’t be easier, from your favorite Rock, Pop, or R&B to Podcasts that cater to your music interests. Yamaha Network Receivers get you connected to the vast music content available anywhere on your LAN and on the web."
    Any suggestions/idea/hints/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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!
    R

    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

  • Yamaha MOTIF 6 and iMac 27 (2014)

    I Own a Yamaha MOTIF 6 Workstation (Keyboard but I dont play keyboard)) and would like to use its sound engine to play GarageBand or any other MIDI file I can access.  I'm not sure how to get the iMac and MOTIF to talk to each other so what I produce on the iMac will play through the MOTIF sound engine. Do I need a MIDI sequencer App?  Any MOTIF users out there who have done this? I'm new at his so any help would be useful.  Ultimatley I'll play the sound through an awesome Mackie PA and create a virtual band to jam with. Thanks in advance. Jerry

    Thanks, I think I got it working now
    I have a feeling that this shouldn't be this hard, but maybe after a few days I really understand what's going on under the hood. For what it's worth, here's my current setup.
    MOTIF:
    Using one patch, a performance patch in MASTER mode
    Knob/Slider mode set to Zone
    Each Performance part is sending MIDI data in Channel 1
    Each knob and slider has its own MIDI CC assigned. Knobs 40-43 and Sliders 50-53
    Saved this MASTER mode patch to memory slot 128 and named it so that stands out for live playing with MS
    (There are tons of other settings, but I don't think they are relevant to this so I try to keep this short)
    MainStage 3:
    Started with a fresh Electric Piano template (=concert)
    Assigned knobs and sliders in Edit mode
    Assigned footswitch to "Next Patch"
    Saved this for future setups
    Now all knobs and sliders control only setting in MS, which is what I tried to accomplish in the first place. I think main stage manuals do a good job explaining what everything does, but I'm still looking for best practises, demo videos and so on -- i.e. what I should do.
    So for now, I'm sticking with my keyboard, unless the urge to buy Korg Kronos X becomes unbearable

  • Yamaha Motif ES6 to iMac using Logic Studio

  • Is my iMac or external audio interface at fault?

    My hardware is as follows:
    2010 21.5" iMac i3 3.06ghz, all standard.
    Yamaha n8 Digital Mixing Studio
    800-400 FireWire cable (of which I have tried two, now using a more expensive Belkin cable)
    Since new which is nearly a month ago I've noticed stuttering in sound when using the Yamaha digital mixer on whichever program I am using. This would last for a while, perhaps half hour, and then disappear.
    I after a while I noticed I could circumvent this problem by changing the Format in the Audio Midi Setup to something other than 44100 Hz, I would usually choose 96000 Hz.
    However having an application open such as Garageband would revert this setting back to 44100Hz and I would have all sorts of problems, both terrible recording quality and playback whether from Garageband or any other source. (for instance iTunes)
    Then I have installed Cubase and tested the audio quality recording at all the different Format values in Audio Midi Setup, 44100 Hz remains unusable, sounding like a very strong bitcrusher effect has been applied to recordings. And while the other frequencies are better, they still sound quite bad with many digital artifacts, crackles and slight bitcrusher type effect sounds.
    I should note that this is a change of Mac's. Before I was using a Mac Pro, late 2006 2x 2.66Ghz model and never experienced any of these problems. The only difference is the cable, being an older Mac it had the older 400 type of FireWire port.
    I have spoken to both AppleCare and Yamaha technical support. AppleCare suggested ringing Yamaha and implied that I would want to record at the higher sample rate than 44100Hz anyway, and I'd be better with Logic! Needless to say this isn't a solution that is acceptable, I think the support engineer struggled to understand this problem. However when I spoke to Yamaha the engineer there felt quite strongly the Mac was at fault with a faulty clock and offered to test the Yamaha unit with one of their Mac's. As I said though I have recently changed Mac's and only since doing so has this problem occured.
    I'm not exactly sure what the next steps would be. I have tried to find ways that I can test the internal clock on the mac, but am at a loss as to how other than simply troubleshooting with recording experiments, using my ears. And it is worth noting perhaps that recording and playback using the iMac's internal mic and speakers works perfectly! I tried that in Garageband.
    Is there any advice anyone could give before I pursue AppleCare for the fix?
    Kind Regards
    Chris

    Hi-
    My first thought is that it's possible the way I use my desktop makes it more likely to develop instabilities
    Based on your description, I would agree....
    I don't do anything as far as 'taking care' of the system
    You don't even let the system run automated maintenance scripts? For this to occur, they must be rescheduled, or the system left on overnight.
    As you mentioned, the continual creation and deletion of large files creates a good environment for system error creation. I would suggest, in the least, booting to the OS X disc, and running Disk Utility at least once a month. Better yet, would be to buy DiskWarrior, and run it at least once a month, more often might be better. DW finds/repairs more than DU, and keeps your harddrive directory in top shape, helping to keep the system performing as it should.
    There are also maintenance scripts that need to be run, either automatically, or manually. It is easy to run these scripts manually, and requires no third party software.
    Open Terminal, and type *sudo periodic daily weekly monthly* and press Return. Enter your password, and press Return. When the command line prompt returns, the scripts are finished, and maintenance is done. If this has never been done, or the machine has never been left on overnight, it may take more than a few minutes.
    Failure to run maintenance scripts, will result in a backlog of invisible files, and can greatly affect performance. The longer without maintenance, the greater the backlog.
    There are other items that one may wish to include in their maintenance program. I find this article to be informative.
    So, why does this keep happening? What should I do to make it stop?
    Maintain your OS, and be kind to the Tiger! In In turn, it will be kind to you.

  • IMac has become slow and freezes up

    For a few months now my iMac has been much slower than it used to be. Apps take longer to open, menu functions respond more slowly, folders and files take longer to open, pages longer to display, etc. Frequently the active window freezes and the colour wheel starts spinning for 10-15 seconds (it has been doing it twice since I started writing this sentence). This happens with all apps I am using, like Safari, Mail, Word and Excel, but particularly frequently in Logic Pro X. Sometimes when it happens (but not always), I get the error message "Disk too slow or system overload (-10010)". However, I upgraded to Logic Pro X about a year ago, and I never had this problem during the first number of months after the upgrade. I am aware that Logic uses a lot of CPU and memory, but, as mentioned, I also have the problem when Logic is not running. This leads me to think there might be something with the hard disk, although it beats me why it suddenly should have become slow. I am currently running everything from the built-in 1 TB hard disk. I have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. A full EtreCheck report with my system specifics is enclosed below. Can anyone help?

    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
