Hey, so I bought a Alesis QX25 Midi Keyboard and plugged it into the macbook with the included USB cable. There were no other included cables as far as I can see. The keyboard has power as the pads light up when pressed and the screen is functioning fine. Just when I play notes on the keyboard nothing happens in Logic. This is my first MIDI keyboard so I'm pretty confused haha
Thanks

Logic Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I'm no expert here but we just opened garageband, selected piano and clicked the record button, then whatever we played on the keyboard was played throug the mac speakers and recorded.
However this onyl worked with our older USB2 MBP - our newer retina MBP with USB3 would not work with our Korg midi keyboard.
hi, thanks for the quick reply. No joy yet. I've ordered a USB Midi cable hoping this will solve it, but Amazon delivery takes ages this time of year ;)
I'm wondering if I need a driver? However I can't find one on the site. Also the box for the keyboard said Midi info was sent through USB, maybe this is a windows only thing though. I've sent a email to Alesis hoping they will help. Thanks!

You have Garageband, does it work in Garageband.
Which version of the operating system, which version of Logic?
Do you know how to use Logic?
hey, thanks for the reply. Keyboard works now, I had to buy a MIDI to USB cable and it works 🙂
Bought an Alesis QX25 - now what do I do?
