Connecting Yamaha DGX-500

I just bought an M-Audio interface and i have it attached with midi cables to my yamaha dgx-500. I have the interface on, the cables plugged in, my yamaha on and in the midi setting. The mac has no problem recognizing my interface and that there's a midi device plugged into it, but I still can't get the yamaha to work with garage band. Any help would be greatly appreciated

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Hey Jman & Hangtime,

Did you guys ever resolve this. I have the same problem a Roland XP10. GB sees it and interacts via my midisport just fine, but I am limited in the voices to a standard midi set; I can't get all of the voices that I can get just by playing the Roland.

Midi from Roland to midisport. Usb from midisport to MBpro. And visa versa.

By the way, this post is being done from memory; I am not in front of it right now. I'm going to try some of the tips I found in these forums when I get a chance, and make sure its not just me being dingy.

Thanks in advance.

This thread is about the Yamaha. You may want to post this as a new question.

I don't have any answers for you but I have heard a lot that Casio is never very compatible with Mac. Probably better to use it as a Real Instrument and use the units line out to record its sounds.

Same problem here...

Midisport USB interface, Casio digital piano. Recognized by the AudioMidi Setup, but will not work in Garageband.

Please help.
