I have a G4 17" Powerbook, running Panther with all updates (10.3.2) and I'm trying to use my Yamaha P-80 electronic piano with Logic Audio 6.

My MIDI interface is a PreSonus FIREstation.

P80 ----> MIDI ----> FIREstation ----> Firewire ---> Powerbook

The FIREstation when powered shows up correctly in MIDI/Audio Setup for CoreAudio. Clicking on Test Audio and then clicking with the note on the cabled P80 sends random notes to the piano, which plays them. MIDI out works fine.

However, I cannot get any notes on the piano to come in, MIDI in seems to not work. The cabling and the piano itself are tested fine on another device with another MIDI interface.

Does anyone know how to get MIDI IN working? PreSonus suggested setting CoreAudio to 48kHz Audio, that it was a known bug in CoreAudio which Apple is aware of, but I've never heard of this before.

Does anyone have a similar setup and can offer advice? I can't get the FIREstation working with any Macs, I've tried with a G4 desktop and a powerbook.
