Midi Help!

[michael11]

I've got a Yamaha PSR 2100 keyboard which has become more or less redundant since I started learning Logic Pro.What it has got though is a very nice on board harmonise facility.I would like to know if there is anyway I could hook the 2100 up to Logic Pro and would Logic read the Midi harmonies the way they play through the keyboard itself.I should say I am a complete technophobe and midiphobe in particular and I don't want to mess anything up.Any ideas please.

Hey Michael,I don't think this is possible. I not sure what your mean by harmonize though. Do you mean the auto chord (holding down a chord plays a full rhythm)?Anyway, MIDI data would only include the actually notes your playing, pitch bend, the Mod wheel (if there is one)... Things like that. It wouldn't include effects such as a harmonizer etc....What you might be able to do is to send MIDI data to keyboard from Logic and have that trigger the auto-chord(if that's what your even talking about)Check out the section on MIDI in the manual. I'm sure it'll have a complete explanation of all the features.HTHZink

My first guess would be NO but I´m also interested in hearing what you mean with that harmonizer. It might work, but the odds are it won´t.

keep using your Yamaha with it midi'd in line. Or get hold of Melodyne Cre8t software.

I have that exact keyboard. I use Sonar, not Logic, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of setting up the interface right.I'm at work right now, but the first thing I would try is to set the MIDI settings on the Yamaha to All Parts (Function, MIDI, All Parts). Then make sure the input channel in Logic is set to MIDI Omni, not a specific channel.Try that. If it doesn't work, PM me and I'll try to figure it out when I get home.Kathleen
