Nov 24, 2009 12:38 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,I had the same problem once. My 49 was connected to my Mac and it was powered but GB was not responding. It turned out ( after a long hunt for the problem) that it was my cable. If you have another cable give it a try. -
Nov 24, 2009 1:50 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,I tried another cable but sam issue.
Do you think Snow Leopard might have changed something? It has worked before.
If I understand it these devices are plug and play so it should not be any driver issues really. -
Nov 24, 2009 2:14 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,Another thing I noticed was that Musical Typing does not work either.
That should work with just the keyboard connected.
I can control Garageband from my keyboard with no problem, but just the Musical Typing does not work. The keys are grayed out. -
Nov 24, 2009 2:57 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,I'm using Snow Leopard with no problem. How did you install Snow Leopard. Upgrade or clean install?
My musical keyboard is working under Snow Leopard.
When you connect your 49 and select a software track and and instrument do you see the little MIDI light blink in the Tempo wndow when you press a key on the 49?
Have you repaired permissions yet? Deleted the prefs? -
Nov 25, 2009 5:40 AM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,No, I see nothing blink in the tempo window when I press a key. -
Nov 25, 2009 12:36 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,★HelpfulThere is another way to test your keyboard. Do you have any stand alone synth applications? If so open one and test your keyboard.
Since you say your musical keyboard does not work and is greyed out and there is no blinking MIDI light in gb when using your keyboard it seems GB might be at fault.
Have you tried the oddball problem fix yet?

Nov 25, 2009 1:24 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,Thanks for the suggestions.
This fixed the issue with using the keyboard to play. I can also access the on-screen keyboard with the regular keyboard, I was very hope full that the 49 would work now, but the issue still remains with the 49.
Any other suggestions? I don't have any other applications to try the 49 on ... -
Nov 25, 2009 1:44 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,Try this with your 49. Connect it to your Mac
Find the Audio MIDI Setup application on your Mac. Its most likely in your utilities folder.
Open the application and then under the windows menu choose "Show MIDI window".
Is there a Keystation 49e icon there? Click it.
Then click the "Test Setup" icon in the bar above.
Play your 49e. You should hear a small bell like chime each time you press a key on the keyboard. -
Nov 25, 2009 1:48 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,I only see the following:
Built in Mic
Built in Line input
Built in Output -
Nov 25, 2009 2:12 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,Thats because your looking at the "Audio Window" showing you the Audio Devices.
Look up at the applications pull down menus. click on "Window". Select "Show MIDI window". Now you will see the MIDI Studio window with your MIDI choices. -
Nov 25, 2009 2:22 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,Opps , now I see.
What I have here are a few icons for the MIDI devices that I have had connected to the iMac including the 49, but it is all grayed out even when I connect it.
I tried to connect two of my other MIDI devices (Line6 Tone Port and Tascam USB interface) using the SAME cable, and they are all coming up without any issue. -
Nov 25, 2009 2:45 PM in response to Christer Hiort1by WarriorAnt,So even when you 49e is connected and you click the 49e icon and then click "Test Setup" your 49e does not respond with a bell chime like sound when you press the keys?
Some long shots.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Could be that the cable is OK with the other MIDI devices but not with your 49e. -
Nov 25, 2009 3:20 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,I have tried all different USB ports.
I have tried different cables.
I connected it to another Mac and I get the same results. I can not believe that the keyboard is bad as it is actually receiving power. -
Nov 25, 2009 3:26 PM in response to WarriorAntby Christer Hiort1,Nothing happens when I select Test Setup. I can not select the keyboard as the icon is grayed out.
