Could someone give me a step by step midi set up?
I am using Mac Finale 2007. I am using an acient Yamaha DX7. It has
always worked fine. I don't care about playback. I can enter notes
rhythmically but they won't change pitches.
Bob,
Sorry I can't help, but MIDI is way too finicky to troubleshoot long
distance. Whenever I have MIDI problems, I follow my nose pretty
much. Are you sure all your cables are good, and your software
drivers for your interface are up to date?
Basically, you have to determine if MIDI is getting out of the
keyboard, then is it getting to the end of the first cable, then is
it getting into the interface, then is it getting to the computer,
etc... Restarting equipment (turn off, wait 30 seconds, turn on) is
standard practice, as their hairy little electronic brains get
scrambled easily.
I suggest getting a knowledgeable friend over. I feel your pain.
Christopher
