Frank DeFede Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I want to use my Yamaha 635 Keyboard as a midi controller in Sonar. I used to know how to set it up, and used it on many projects in the past. I haven't recorded anything since Bandlab has taken over. I am finally finding the time to work on one of my songs, and ready to add some keyboard parts I have plugged in the Keyboard into a USB port. The computer is showing midi activity, but when I go into prefaces the Yamaha Keyboard does not show up under devices. Can someone please give me advice on what I am missing. I am sure it is something stupid, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Thank you, much appreciated.

SynthManDan Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 If it’s not plug n play you’ll need the dedicated midi driver. It’ll be on Yamaha site. SMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank DeFede Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Thank you Randy! I got it. Looks like it's gonna work. I found it in prefaces now, and I am getting a signal. I can proceed with the song! Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DeFede Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) One last problem. I was able to record the midi piano just fine. I want to bounce the midi track it to an audio track so that I have more control of the sound. I used to be able to do this in the track folder, and select bounce to track. I can't get that to work. It says something about I have to select an audio track. I have the midi track selected. Thanks again. Edited June 2, 2019 by Frank DeFede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapasoa Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Usually a keyboard controller is connected to the midi input of an audio interface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
