MIDI Keyboard GarageBand Connection

I have tried to connect my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-505 to my MacBook Pro 2017 model via a MIDI in/out to USB-A cable through a USB-C converter into GarageBand. The note registers on GarageBand, but only one note about every five seconds, with heaps of unwanted sustain. I have installed the appropriate drivers for the MIDI device to no avail.

If anyone knows how to fix this it would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

Yamaha Midi driver with Macbook M1 (Apple Silicon) - Midi interface OK, Not recognizing Audio interface Hi, I've always used my Synth/Keyboard Yamaha MOX8 with Windows and I've never had problems to the Driver recognize the audio and/or midi interface. The Synth has internal audio interface. I just bought a MacBook with an M1 chip (Apple Silicon) and it's on macOS Monterey 12.4. I installed the latest version available from the Yamaha website: 1) Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V3.1.1 for Mac macOS 11/12(Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2). https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver_for_mac.html 2) USB-MIDI Driver V1.5.0 for Mac macOS 12, 11 (Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2) https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/usb_midi_driver_for_mac.html When trying to use it with the keyboard, the MacBook is recognizing the midi interface (I can see it in the "Midi Studio" screen, but it does not recognize the audio interface, that means, I am able to control VST, exchange midi signals, but neither the operating system nor the DAW is recognizing the audio interface. Note 1: I already tested using the original keyboard cable + USB HUB, as well as I bought a new USB-B to USB-C cable, connecting directly to the Macbook and the result was the same. There was no difference. Note 2: In the installation guide of item 2, ask to confirm that the installation was successful if we have files in the folder: /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIDriver.plugin /Library/PreferencePanes/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIPatch.prefPane I checked and besides the installation report as successfully finished, the files are not in the folder.

emagic mt4 midi interface on a recent mac mini (intel) with 10.13 (or so...) hello, I just found my old emagic mt4 midi interface and would like to use it on recent macs (intel or m1 apple silicon). It does show up under USB devices but not in audio-midi-setup. Do I need a driver? I found an old driver called «UnitorMIDIDriver» but my M1 macbook Pro said, it's not necessary to install it. When I plug in the interface, the USB-LED flashes twice but then only «Patch» LED stays on. It also flashes MIDI-LED's as long as I play on the connected keyboard. Any ideas how I can get it to work with garage band or logic pro?

MIDI-signal I have a digital piano (Thomann) with a (so called) USB output. Please see added picture! The connection to my MacBook shall be used by this item: It's said by Thomann that if I play a tune on the piano there will be 'MIDI signals' into the MacBook. Do I dare to try that? Will there be a file generated?
