Problem with MIDI keyboard input.
Hi,
I am trying to use a Yamaha PSR-275 MIDI keyboard with GarageBand 2.0.1 but am experiencing some difficulty. I'm trying to record into GB from the keyboard but it seems that some notes are being missed or barely audible, some are dragged for too long, and there's a weird droning noise that runs throughout the track.
In the Yamaha keyboard manual, it says to connect the keyboard to the computer via UX16 USB/MIDI Interface, but I've used the MIDISPORT UNO by M-Audio. Could that be the problem?
Besides that, there are some troubling details that I'm not quite sure how to handle. Here they are:
GARAGEBAND:
Under Preferences, in the Audio/MIDI tab it says "Audio Input: No devices found"
SYSTEM PREFERENCES:
Under the Sound>Input it also says "No input devices found"
AUDIO MIDI SETUP UTILITY:
Under Audio Devices>System Settings>Default Input: "No Devices"
Under MIDI Devices, it is configured to PSR-275 (which is a setting that I created myself).
YAMAHA WEBSITE:
I contacted tech support and am awaiting their response. There were no downloadable drivers on the site.
I've tried changing the configuration of the MIDI wires into the keyboard as a last resort but no improvement. I believe that only the MIDI OUT should be connected ... right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spent lots of time trying to solve this problem without much luck.
Sincerely,
Steve Cicione
