Logic Express And Midi Output, MIDI output going through keyboard Options

[lacmackay]

Hi everyone,

I've just gotten Logic Express 7. I have a Tascam US-428 and have connected that to the midi ports on my keyboard. I can record the midi but the audio during recording comes out of the keyboard speakers as well as my monitors which are connected to the US-428 via RCA outputs.

Even worse, when i play back what I have recorded, it only comes through the keyboard and no sound comes out the monitors at all.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Plug the audio out of your keyboard into the US 428 and leave the midi plugged in too. Then you can record what your keyboard is playing onto an audio track or monitor it through an input track, but as the last guy said,

MIDi does not carry audio, only 'sequencer events'.

The audio must be recorded or monitored seperately. Garageband has its own little sound generators in there all working away to translate your midi into sounds, Logic Express can do this too but I'm guessing your just using a midi track not an instrument track.
