Basically, to save you the trouble of me wording it badly, I've made a video to explain my troubles. Any help is much appreciated, as this is massively frustrating.

there is no solution. i watched your video. clearly, you've got it set up correctly. it's playing sound in GB.
a client had a similar problem. he'd bought a (very inexpensive) USB to MIDI cable. it behaved exactly as yours is doing when i installed it on his system. i happened to have my Maudio UNO interface with me at the time, which does use a driver. i installed it, we tried it out, and everything worked beautifully. it's possible that your cable would be lovely on a Windows system, but it's never going to satisfy on your mac. i recommend an UNO or MOTU Fastlane... something in the $50 range, probably. good luck. |

Oh well, thanks for lending a hand! I'll just fork out for a much nicer cable instead of using this (as you rightly guessed) cheap tat. Thanks for the help!

I agree with houstonmusic that the UNO or MOTU would be fine choices. One thing I thought I saw in your video, however, concerned your audio midi setup. If I viewed it correctly, you did not finish the configuration of your Yamaha keyboard. You need to add it to the view (add device), go into the icon that appears and define the device as your specific keyboard (by manufacturer and unit name, if possible), set up its capabilities concerning MIDI in and out, apply the changes, and then, when you return to the main Audio MIDI Setup view, connect your keyboard and USBMIDI device with virtual cables.
I have no idea if that will solve your problem, but, based on your video, I do not see how your keyboard is communicating to your computer at all. Hope that helps! |

yes, you're right. i've got to watch things til the end.
there should be a keyboard device created and virtually "attached" to the interface icon. that may help. but i can report that i did that step when setting up my client's system, and it didn't. sorry i didn't catch that... good luck. |
