I am trying to achieve the following setup:
- play from my Yamaha P-90 keyboard
- pull voices/sounds from my Roland XV-2020 sound module
- record in GarageBand on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.11.5)
Is this possible with MIDI?
So far, I have been able to set up my keyboard (using a Roland UM-ONE MIDI interface) to record in GarageBand, but when I introduce the XV-2020 in the mix, then it's a no-go. Does the XV-2020 require special drivers still? I can't find any drivers that will work with any recent OS X on the Roland website. If I need to set it up as just an audio signal going to the laptop, I suppose I could do that, but I'd much prefer to have the MIDI functionality.
Here are the ports on all the various components:
Yamaha P-90
In/Out 5-pin MIDI
Roland XV-2020
In/Out/Thru 5-pin MIDI
USB
MacBook Pro
USB
Firewire
Thunderbolt
In addition to the drivers question for the XV-2020, I'm also unclear exactly how to cable everything, so any advice on how to hook everything up would also be most appreciated.
Thanks much!
