How to connect my keyboard so I can use it when recording software instruments

Ok so I have logic express 9.1.7... I play guitar so I have been using it to record real instruments for a few months now, but I want to expand my recording ability and start using the software instruments that logic provides because they are great. I have a YAMAHA DGX-505 portable grand piano that I have running into my steinberg sound card which then runs into my mixer and finally into my computer. Everything works great, but when I try using the keyboard as a MIDI device (or whatever it is that allows me to use it as a controller for the software instrument) no sound is heard. I want to be able to use this feature without having to use the keyboard on my computer because it limits the range I can play. So any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hey ChEmWen - I worked it out! I think I had the same problem as you, and the first driver I download didn't work. It took some more searching, you need to download the CORRECT for your OS driver from

here:

http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/


I sent YAMAHA a message on their facebook support letting them know of their problem:


Hey, I worked it out, I had downloaded the wrong driver for my OS. I think you need to update this page:

http://download.yamaha.com/search/detail/?1400890058...

So that users are ACTUALLY directed to download from HERE:

http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/

I only managed to find the CORRECT driver by doing a more thorough google search.


Anyway I hope this helps!!! Cheers.
