crazy_gap girl Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I just bought a usb midi interface to plug into my macbook from my music keyboard to go through garage band and iv gone through the utilities>audio/midi setup and it recognizes it. But it just dosn't work in garageband. The instrutions that came with the usb midi interface showed you how to set it up in: Cubase SX, Nuendo and Reason but not garage band.Iv looked through my keyboards manual and its compatible and says nothing about changing settings for midi, just that you plug it in and its your software's problem then.On the actual usb midi interface it has 1 midi IN and 2 OUT, on the little box it has 3 lights only one is glowing which tells you its plugged in. The midi IN and OUT1/2 are not glowing when i think they should. I do not know what eles i can do, am i just doing something totally wrong when its dead simple?HELP!!!!!!

Dan Clark Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 If the computers recognizing it then it's garage band at fault.Is there a bit to select input on garage band? I use Cubase and once in a while I'll forget to select my keyboard on there.Failing that, get a proper midi sequencer, garage band is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 No idea then, I don't use garage band.Also, £45 for a midi cable? It would have actually been cheaper to buy a MIDI controller keyboard that comes with a USB cable, I got mine for £39. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have actually been cheaper to buy a MIDI controller keyboard that comes with a USB cable, I got mine for £39.My dad seems to have a strong feeling that its the lead!. The midi in/out1/2 lights are not lit up at all when i think they should light up when they are pluged into the back of the keyboard!So im going to have to take it back and get my money back! - Shame though because the guy in the shop seemed abit moody in general haha so im scared!!

spmcfadden Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 He can’t refuse you a refund! It could just be a faulty cable so worth a try. I’ve only used Reason so can’t help with software.What sort of music are you making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_gap girl Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 True but it was the last one in the shop, and i cant be arsed to wait for another to come in stock!!Music: I don't really know, im just gonna remix some of the stuff i did for GCSE and my own stuff First time i get close to plugging my keyboard into a computer and it goes wrong.
