Hi all:
-I'm new to this discussion board and would like to give my greetings and salutations to my fellow forum chimps.
My first question for the forum will be regarding my MIDI setup. I recently got my hands on a good ol' Yamaha PSR 270, and am having a few issues getting it to respond in my tracking software.
I'm going from the;
270 via MIDI OUT> 'EDIROL UA-25' MIDI IN> CUBASE 3.1.1 (XP)
The problem is that cubase is not registering a MIDI input signal, i have checked all my manuals, searched the forums but alas i have turned up nothing.
In Cubase i have set the inputs to the 'UA-25 MIDI IN', and have chosen the MIDI device as a GM Device (Even though for this it only lets me configure it as an output)
I have tried using virtual instruments, and various configurations but im not sure how i give the bastard a kick start. I have no reason to believe that my keyboard is broken (It has been stored away safely for many years, in a dry environment without much use) And i have tried a couple of MIDI wires.
One thing that maybe hindering my process is that i am only using one wire from the MIDI out > MIDI In. I havn't hooked up the other side, as i don't plan to use the Keyboard in that manner, would this result in issues?
Is there any MIDI test software i can use to verify my signal authenticity?
Any help is greatly appreciated
,
Stevo.-
*Update*
I have tried linking the outport on the ua-25 to the keyboard midi in, and then proceeded to play a midi song in windows media player. Resulting in the sound coming from my keyboard perfectly. I guess thats some progress.
P.s The UA-25 is a USB Audio Interface Device, it is basically an external soundcard for those who may not know what it is.
