When you start recording, Live will record the MIDI data from your keyboard and use it to play the virtual instrument.
If you want to play a virtual instrument with your keyboard, create a MIDI track, drag and drop a virtual instrument to that track, and select your keyboard as the MIDI input to that track. It is possible to record both the MIDI and the audio on two different tracks at the same time once you have the right connections.įirst, you must plugin the MIDI-to-USB converter to your computer, then connect the audio outputs of your keyboard to your audio interface. However, once you have both MIDI and audio connected, you can still record the sounds from your Yamaha keyboard by adding an audio track in Live and recording the inputs from your Scarlett audio interface. (See page 469, paragraph 24.4 of Live's User Manual, "External Instrument"). Unfortunately, because you have the "Lite" edition of Live, you do not have access to the "External Instrument" plugin. If you want to hear your Yamaha keyboard piano sounds in Live, you need to plug the audio output of your keyboard into the audio inputs of your Scarlett interface. Load a virtual instrument on that MIDI channel and you will be able to play that instrument with your keyboard. Your screen shows that your MIDI channel does not have an instrument loaded, so the MIDI data you are sending to that channel does not have an instrument to make sound with. It looks like you have successfully connected your keyboard to your computer via USB, and Live recognizes it on the MIDI channel. If you are sending the MIDI back out to the P35B, especially if using its own sounds, it might be necessary to set it to "local off" to avoid the notes being doubled - played once when you press a key then repeated a few milliseconds later when Live echoes the MIDI back to the keyboard.īased on your pictures, I think I can help you out. Setting it to "auto" will also pass incoming MIDI through the track if the track is armed for recording, but if the track isn't armed "auto" only plays back clips that are already on the track, not fresh incoming MIDI. Track monitoring should be set to "in" so the incoming MIDI gets sent to the track output. To record the MIDI or route it to an instrument you need to set up a MIDI track with the input set as the interface port the keyboard is connected to and the track output to whatever you want the MIDI to control. Playing the keyboard should now get Live's MIDI detector in the top right of the main window flashing. Also, if the keyboard has a use for MIDI clock (such as an internal sequencer or syncing LFOs or effects) enable "sync" in the "output" section only.
You then need to enable the "track" buttons for the interface in the input and output parts of the "MIDI Ports" section. If it is that means Live has detected it.
How to open yamaha usb midi driver show up drivers#
I'm going to assume you have a USB to MIDI interface, to which you have connected the P35B using 5-pin DIN cables (not XLR, they're a completely different connector).Īssuming you have any necessary drivers for the interface installed if you go into Live's MIDI preferences with any luck you should see your MIDI interface listed - not the keyboard, but the interface. You put the image somewhere on-line, say dropbox, then paste a link to the image into a post on the forum. How do I paste pictures here that are on my hard disc? So I could send you the picture of the cable I use.
