Hey there, i have a HUGE issue and its becoming extrmeely irritating nevermind frustrating.
I have recently bought an EMU Xboard49 to work through a desktop Mac that I have bought.

On it, i have logic pro 8 set up and need some training through that but am learning more and more about things.

Anyway, i cannot get the software instrument to play through logic, I've added an instrument track (software instrument) and selected the I/O above the Output 1-2 and clicked on ES1-Synthesizer. It should be playing through logic , but no noise whatsoever is being made when i play the board- highly frustrating as I really need this for my music recording and bought it specifically for this reason.

Could somebody PLEAASE tell me what I'm not doing, whether the software/driver installation is okay (I have installed numerous times and it has said that the installation has been successful.) and also, could some one please get this problem sorted asap as im unsure of what else to do!!

Also I,ve tried installing a driver update-not successful.

and ive tried using garageband for it.

basically, i dont have a clue what im doing technical aspects of things and i need help asap as its seriously annoying me now and i just want to record.

Cheers,
D

Midi

yes it is. what i think it is is logic is not picking up the signal of the midi keyboard through usb and its highly frustrating as u can imagine.

ive tried quite a lot of things and underneath the instrument icon on the transporter bar on the left it shud show what the signals coming through.

Mine for example says Core Audio: Instrument

However, this isn't in black like the other info below ( e.g Midi Channel: All)
It is grey and i dont know how to change it etc.
 
I'm not sure how logic works, I use sonar, but a lot of programs need you to route the instrument/midi track to an audio track, as though you plugged a mic or outboard gear into it.

Think of your instrument track as an outboard synth instead of software. How would you route that to an audio track to record? It's the same concept a lot of times.

Your input of your audio track maybe comes from the output of the instrument track? Then the audio output goes to the master bus?

Your audio interface maybe only sends audio from audio tracks, so software synths and such need to be sent to an audio track even just to hear it. Hope that was helpful.
 
Also, make sure your E-mu controller output and your es1 synth input channels are the same.
