logic and technics sx pr53 digital piano problem

I have a mac book pro, and have logic pro 8 set up on it. I have a technics sx pr53 digital piano, and I am having problems getting the sound through to the computer. Has anyone set this equipment up before? and could enlighten me on where to get the info I need. I have connected a usb to midi cable to the computer from the piano, and have a duet apogee audio interface connected to the computer.

thanks

mac book pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hi,

What is it you want to achieve? Record the sound of your piano in Logic? Or record MIDI?
Anyway, you have to set up both audio and MIDI in, surprisingly, Audio/MIDI Setup, a utility you'll find in your Applications/Utilities folder.
And have you read Logics' Getting Started Guide? Also read chapter 1 to 4 of the manual, and chapter 10, that should set you up enough to make some music.

regards, Erik.

I had managed to get the keyboard connected to logic, after reading your advice, it worked fine.
However, now there is no sound, you can see that the signal is there when I play the keyboard and look at the transport bar. I have the record button on the gm device track switched on. If I record the keyboard you can see the notes show up on the track, (therefore part of the connection still seems to be working) but there is no sound at all when I hit the keys or replay the track.
I went into AMS in utilities to check and it is still showing the technics info.

Any ideas on what I could be missing?
Thank you.
