Midi On Logic 5/jaguar Setup Options

[cydonia]

Ok i've been all over the web, and the emagic infoweb is apparently offline, i tried to register but no-go.

Just got logic platinum, have jaguar installed. Unfortunately all the documenatation that i got is relevant to OS9. In the instruction booklet, the first thing you do is set up an arpeggiator thing in the environment. Then it's supposed to play through my keyboard, but there is no sound. I'm somewhat used to midi in oS9, but i don't know how to do this. I downloaded a driver for my midiman midisport,(the light is on)I entered a name in core midi but aside from that, i don't know if i really "did" anything or if my midiman is recognized in logic or apple's audio midi setup.

First tutorial out of the gate and i'm lost. Help? Thanks!

Hey it's me again!

I've tried to figure this out, but i have a new problem..........

I'm using a Yamaha PSR 270 synthesizer. It has two banks of sounds, the first the native sounds and the second the General Midi sounds. How do i get logic to activate the sounds that aren't general midi? I've initialized the first bank in the environment, and i see the names of the sounds, but when i'm in arrange and hit program i only get up to 127 sounds. Can i in fact use all the other sounds, like my mulitiple drum kits, slow strings etc?

Do you think you could help me with this? I'm having a hard time getting my head around it. I'm reading the instruction manual, but it's just not clicking. Here's the link for my particular synth, btw. http://www.yamaha.com/cgi-win/webcgi.exe/D...gPPK00005PSR270

One other question: if i buy a program like storm or reason, would that be a better way to get sounds? Are they midi-like?
Thanks!
