Dude thank you so much, I bought some awesome gear but you’re the only person who has ever said anything about exactly hooking up midi to interfaces from a controller. Thanks
Basic - Midi Cable is one-way need two (not required) bidirectional connections/ USB B is a input device to host two-way communication USB A/C is host device (Computer DAW or a host interface device)
Dear Music Professor, I use that title firmly because I finally understood 4-5 music technical terms that I have seen, but really did not have a firm grasp on what they meant. After watching your full video, I understood better. I needed to watch some parts 2-3 times, for my own benefit and understanding. Thank you for taking time for the extra explanation at the end. I finally know understand the difference between Midi In/Out and Midi Thru. Also, I appreciate you clarifying what using an interface does to computers and other subtle differences. This has helped me with my technical music vocabulary which was severely lacking.
Wow thank you for this comment!! I really appreciated! That's the goal of making these videos is to educate others on understanding the tech behind music!
Whats up man i have an oldskool mpc2000xl and a korg i3 keyboard that just have an midi out so i have that out going to my midi in on my mpc. The mpc has the midi ins and outs but for some reason tje mpc is not recording the midi notes from tje korg. Its picking up the signal j7st not playing back what i recorded . Am i doing something wrong? Or missing a step?
Really dig your personality bro. Loved the vid and learned about the driver I need to download for my keyboard. Had the MIDI cables and audio interface plugged up but no sound😅
@@IkeBeats brother i contact all big RUclipsrs they didn't respond plz help me i have midi keyboard i buy, it from locals online market i don't have sound card , Problem is that on my MIDI Keyboard there is only midi out , and one for power adapter plz help me , how to connect with my pc i hope if you read you will help me
Thank you for commenting!! If you don't want an actual interface you can definitely get the smaller kinds. You can find them in the links below the video. There are small midi to usb devices where you can easily plug your keyboard straight to your computer.
You deserve more subs... In internet it says "usb midi cable doesn't send notes to pc" So i was scared too much. Because i got midi cable from internet. Now i am waiting for the converter for my phone. (I have no laptop and my room is full of other stuff) If i say "i need to refund the cable" they would be angry as hell... Now i subsribed you! Thanks for helping!
I have Yamaha PSR-295 which has only the usb option. The midi driver is installed on my laptop. But when i connect it to the keyboard, the keyboard isn't acting as a microphone to record it in my laptop. That option itself isnt displaying. Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you mate for this video, I am having a keyboard with the usb (no midi) and I was confused will I be able to use it as midi or not🥲 I'm glad that I reached to your video❤️
I'm trying to set up my MIDI keyboard but I just realize that the keyboard only has a MIDI out on it. Is it still going to work or does the keyboard require a MIDI in, in order to work?
Hi sir i have yamaha kx8 i want to connect to my pc window 10 using only usb cable is it going to be work. What is the name of the Software should i download.
Ok so here is maybe dum question. If I want to connect several desktop/rack synths to a workstation (for example the Fantom) and then into DAW, how do I do that?
Ok, so I want to use my 88-key digital piano to control my Motif XS61, but the 88-key does not have a midi port, only USB-B. What would I need to connect the two boards?
Hello, this is a great video and the only one that made sense for USB but i cannot find the tab for downloads in the yamaha website, if you dont mind can you send me the link?
Hello! We have a KORG X5D but it's quite old and experiencing a bit of problems with the buttons, knobs, and sliders and even the audio out (the sound is quite noisy and dirty). We're planning to buy a M-Audio Keystation MK3 88 keys so that we can use the X5D's effects. My questions is how will we do the cable routings for that, will we use the X5D's audio I/O or the MK3?
Maybe the cable you’re using is probably bad that it makes it sound odd. But you can plug a midi cable to the midi out of the MK3 and into the midi in X5D.
Hey thanks for the demo....i have a yamaha p250 that has a usb out . i use this connection to my pc and the synthesia app on my Win 10 pc recognizes this keyboard bevause my keyboard shows up in the app... however even though it recognizes the keyboard it does not recognize any input from this keyboard...what should I get...either a usb/midi cable ? Or an an audio interface?..and yea I downloaded the drivers for this Yamaha...but no input from keyboard still...so my comections are correct because i can use my Casio CDP-135 and it recognizes input from keyboard

How do i send the midi signal to my speakers, just bought the arturia keylab 61 essential and i have a gig today, i wanna use it but i don’t know to use it live
If your using a vst on your computer, you can run a standard usb phone cable from your computer straight into your midi keyboard . It's as simple as that. I guess if you're using a interface it's different.
I really need your help Pls reply this, I'm using a Yamaha p-70 I connected it with a midi USB 2.0 but my saw sees the USB not the piano nd its not recognisingvall d notes I play, will this connection to audio interface solve ut

hi there. I have a question about setup, I'm trying to use gig performer as virtual instrument that is, my casio ctk3500 has a USB port connected to my laptop. How do I send the audio of the keyboard now to the PA system? The audio out of the keyboard is connected to the Soundcraft mixer via instrument cable connected to a DI then the DI is connected to the mixer via XLR. I hope you can help me on this.
Hi there! You pretty much got it. Although, if you want to send audio from gig performer to the PA, you gonna need to connect your laptop (the headphone plug) to a DI then the mixer. Hope this helps.
OK. I'm old and I'm new to this. The usb cable (which actually looks like a printer cable to me) goes from my yamaha keyboard to my computer. No problem.

Hi! Hope you can help me. I have a digital piano Yamaha P-115 with USB 2.0 output that i need to connect in an old sound module with 5 pins MIDI ports. Is there an adaptor USB 2.0 to MIDI 5 pins?
Hope youre able to answer this quickly, i have 7 weddings to perform for in 3 weeks, and they want me to use their speakers. For the USB A to USB B one, what would happen if you plugged it from your piano to a speaker? The usb A being in the speaker. Any answer would help thank you
Some keyboards have the ability to use usb for audio going into a computer but I’m not sure if it works on speakers. I’ve never done it that way, but if it doesn’t work then go with the regular output.
Hi, may i ask, i have an old Worksation with old round connection Midi in Midi out Mid through. How to connect it best to PC, if i want to use it as MIDI controller?
Hi there! You’re gonna need to get an midi interface, for an example I have a list of interfaces in the description box so feel free. Any interface with midi connections will do the job.
I can record my mix using MIDI USB? I’ve been searching on web different ways to record the sound of my interface, and I found this (MIDI TO USB) it will work? My interface doesn’t have USB support, only MIDI.
help....i need to connect my casio ctx 700 keyboard only has usb host port B and my controller has the same port...how to configure the options on screen?
So you can connect both of them straight from B to A on your computer but if you don’t have usb A ports on your computer you can get a usb hub get the ports you need.
thanks, exactly what i needed! one question, though: for what purpose would you use the MIDI OUT on your Audio Interface? I guess, I can route a specific MIDI track in the DAW to that MIDI OUT to send the information somewhere. But in which circumstance would you want to do that? I am a beginner, so sorry if the answer is very obvious. it is not at all to me. is it just for some super fancy routing and chaining I do not need to worry about at this point? or is there an important use that I do not understand?
You could record the midi data from your performance in your daw, then send it out to different devices. For instance, you might do a basic performance on one keyboard and then send that performance data out to a range of different synths to find which one sounds best. Basically the data is playing the keyboard for you. You can also use midi control to sync your daw to things like drum machines.
@ hey, thanks for the answer. i learned a lot in the last 4 months, so it is obvious now for me for what that can be used. especially the midi clock out of the DAW is very useful to me.
Hi I have a Yamaha MODX. The usb 2.0 plug that goes to my computer doesn’t work. I downloaded the driver and tested the cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks mike Herbert
Hello Jesse! Yamaha has one driver for all keyboards on their site. I recommend downloading the latest version. Here’s the link. usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/keyboards/downloads/firmware_software/index.html?c=keyboards&k=driver
I want to use my midi keyboard for sounds but I have just bought 3 hardware synths as well. Would I plug the 3 of them into an audio interface then the midi keyboard into pc with usb? Obviously I need an interface with with lots of midi outputs?
You can daisy chain your hardware synths. You don’t need multiple midi outputs but you do have to have enough audio inputs to hear your synths in your computer.
hi buddy im from the philippines just want to ask., i have a CME uf6 midi controller but since they stop releasing it they also stop making drivers for it and it only has midi out it is possible to connect it to the computer DAW again using a midi interface?
I really love this video🥰🥰 However, I have a question that is bothering me🥲 Please what if I don't wanna listen to the original sounds of the keyboard, *that is when I don't wanna hear both sounds*, how do I connect my keyboard(like Yamaha...) to an external speaker to listen to the sounds of the plugins only??
so I have an Akai Advance keyboard controller, focusrite scarlette 8I6 usb audio interface and macbook pro and a presonus digital mixer 16.4.2. how would I hook it up with my Yamaha Modx and roland fantom 6? Trying to connect everything together.
So one way to connect your Akai controller is with usb straight to your MacBook or midi & out with the Scarlett interface then to your MacBook. Now for the Yamaha and the Roland, it depends what your setup is going to be. If you want to get audio into your MacBook both the interface or the mixer will work the same. If it’s for a PA system you can plug your keyboards and the MacBook to the mixer for flexible mixing.
Hi, i have a mod8x + synthesizer and a psr s670. The psr s670 does not have midi port. How do i connect the two? If i used a midi interface, how do i connect from the interface to the psr s670 @IkeBeats
Hi! If you want to connect two of them each other, you can plug both in and out on both keyboards with two midi cables. If it's to a computer, you can use one midi cable connecting one keyboard midi out to the other keyboard midi in and get a second midi cable out from the second keyboard to an interface midi in.
To make this clear, The midi i want doesnt have a MIDI port. Only a USB. Does that mean i dont need a midi to use it on my laptop? for example an online piano game.
Hey man I have an Arturia mk 2 midi keyboard but I also have a Pianoled light that also uses midi how do I connect both of them to my midi keyboard so it can send signals to my computer and my midi LEd Device ?
Im simply not getting a connection... I have a small key station keyboard that I've simply plugged my Mac book and was able to access and use it with my studio one setup.. I just got a keystaion 49 and Im getting nothing.. im stumped lol you have a video on this setup? I notice you've got the same computer. Same audio interface.. HELP LOL
It's not possible to send audio through midi. I'm not familiar with the Kaoss pad but does it come with sounds? If so, you can use those with your Dubler.
@@IkeBeats thanks for the reply. Kaoss pad is a sound processor with xy pad n a very limited looper. It allows you to add delays ,reverbs etc. This way i could put fx on dubler on a hardware instead of twigging everything on the DAW.
So I have a midi comtroller (keyboard) with USB, and midi out/in, and I have an audio interface with midi in/out. Witch connection is better to use in order to avoid issues related to drivers, or OS vs ASIO driver incompabilities, latency and alike. Also, if I do connect my midi keyboard with midi cables to the audio interface, what use is for connection from audio interface OUT -> to midi keyboard IN?
The interface is better to use to avoid those situations. So the MIDI out from your interface is for your keyboard to receive MIDI notes from your computer. Sending back to your controller.
is that also for transfers? so i have pa4x and kronos i mean when i connect both together and change the transfers from pa4x. will transfers also change at kronos?
Friend! Your video has made it clear to me how to make the connections, but in my case I have a Presonus Studio24c and I can't make the "midi in" port work, I have an old korg keyboard where I connect the cable in the "midi out", but in my ableton session I don't get a signal. 😭🥲
Check your midi settings in the Ableton preferences. Watch this short on how to do it. How To Send MIDI From Interface To Computer ruclips.net/user/shortsk_YuCNWqsRQ?feature=share
Oh ok yes you can. Make sure you have a separate output to adjust the volume and you are good. That's how we do at my church we do that and connect it straight to the iPad where we go live with the app called Switcher Studio.
Yes you can. As long as your digital piano has midi out, and audio interface has midi in. Once connected, you can process sound through any available vst plugins and output it to monitors or headsets from your audio interface, or/and do recording in to your daw.

Thank you for your professional explanation!!🙏 I want to ask you if I can connect piano keyboard to PC without needing audio interface! How can I make a beat only (not necessarily audio song) by using computer connected to the piano keyboard by using USB keyboard? Thank you
This to me is a disconnected presentation - lacks continuity. For instance he shows a MIDI cable connecting from keyboard MIDI out to Prosonus MIDI in and then he says the MIDI signal from there to a PC but he doesn't show how - does it go through the USB cable or what?

I'm trying to set up my MIDI keyboard but I just realize that the keyboard only has a MIDI out on it. Is it still going to work or does the keyboard require a MIDI in, in order to work?

For MIDI I don't think there's a difference. I don't have a type B to C but I believe it should give you the same results.

I guess, I can route a specific MIDI track in the DAW to that MIDI OUT to send the information somewhere. But in which circumstance would you want to do that? I am a beginner, so sorry if the answer is very obvious. it is not at all to me. is it just for some super fancy routing and chaining I do not need to worry about at this point? or is there an important use that I do not understand?
You could record the midi data from your performance in your daw, then send it out to different devices. For instance, you might do a basic performance on one keyboard and then send that performance data out to a range of different synths to find which one sounds best. Basically the data is playing the keyboard for you. You can also use midi control to sync your daw to things like drum machines.
@ hey, thanks for the answer. i learned a lot in the last 4 months, so it is obvious now for me for what that can be used. especially the midi clock out of the DAW is very useful to me.
Hi I have a Yamaha MODX. The usb 2.0 plug that goes to my computer doesn’t work. I downloaded the driver and tested the cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks mike Herbert
Hi! Go to settings on your keyboard, then go to MIDI I/O. Now look at MIDI IN/OUT and make sure it's on USB.
Hello thank you for this video. I have one question what is the best driver for Yamaha motif xf8 you recommend?.
Hello Jesse! Yamaha has one driver for all keyboards on their site. I recommend downloading the latest version. Here’s the link.
usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/keyboards/downloads/firmware_software/index.html?c=keyboards&k=driver
Finally thanks brother
You're welcome!
I want to use my midi keyboard for sounds but I have just bought 3 hardware synths as well. Would I plug the 3 of them into an audio interface then the midi keyboard into pc with usb? Obviously I need an interface with with lots of midi outputs?
You can daisy chain your hardware synths. You don’t need multiple midi outputs but you do have to have enough audio inputs to hear your synths in your computer.
hi buddy im from the philippines just want to ask., i have a CME uf6 midi controller but since they stop releasing it they also stop making drivers for it and it only has midi out it is possible to connect it to the computer DAW again using a midi interface?
hey do you have an free software suggestion to use usb
I really love this video🥰🥰
However, I have a question that is bothering me🥲
Please what if I don't wanna listen to the original sounds of the keyboard, *that is when I don't wanna hear both sounds*, how do I connect my keyboard(like Yamaha...) to an external speaker to listen to the sounds of the plugins only??
Thanks for the comment! Great question! What model is your Yamaha keyboard?
so I have an Akai Advance keyboard controller, focusrite scarlette 8I6 usb audio interface and macbook pro and a presonus digital mixer 16.4.2. how would I hook it up with my Yamaha Modx and roland fantom 6? Trying to connect everything together.
So one way to connect your Akai controller is with usb straight to your MacBook or midi & out with the Scarlett interface then to your MacBook.
Now for the Yamaha and the Roland, it depends what your setup is going to be. If you want to get audio into your MacBook both the interface or the mixer will work the same. If it’s for a PA system you can plug your keyboards and the MacBook to the mixer for flexible mixing.
Hi, i have a mod8x + synthesizer and a psr s670. The psr s670 does not have midi port. How do i connect the two? If i used a midi interface, how do i connect from the interface to the psr s670 @IkeBeats
I have Yamaha kx88 and kx76, tthis is new to me so what is the best way to connect to these keyboards and how?
Hi! If you want to connect two of them each other, you can plug both in and out on both keyboards with two midi cables. If it's to a computer, you can use one midi cable connecting one keyboard midi out to the other keyboard midi in and get a second midi cable out from the second keyboard to an interface midi in.
I'm not familiar with the keyboard but I can let you know how to set them up.
To make this clear, The midi i want doesnt have a MIDI port. Only a USB. Does that mean i dont need a midi to use it on my laptop? for example an online piano game.
Correct. All you need is a USB A to B cable.
@@IkeBeats thanks, you helped alot. Def. Subscribing!
Anytime! 🙏🏻
Hey man I have an Arturia mk 2 midi keyboard but I also have a Pianoled light that also uses midi how do I connect both of them to my midi keyboard so it can send signals to my computer and my midi LEd Device ?
I’m not familiar with the pianoled but I looked it up and if it has a usb connection, try it out.
whats the name of your keyboard, thanks for the info.
Im simply not getting a connection... I have a small key station keyboard that I've simply plugged my Mac book and was able to access and use it with my studio one setup.. I just got a keystaion 49 and Im getting nothing.. im stumped lol you have a video on this setup?
I notice you've got the same computer. Same audio interface.. HELP LOL

THANK YOU!
Is it possible to send audio signal through a midi interface?
I'd like to send audio from Dubler on my laptop to kaoss pad 3. Would that be possible?
It's not possible to send audio through midi. I'm not familiar with the Kaoss pad but does it come with sounds? If so, you can use those with your Dubler.
It's crazy that you brought up the Dubler bc I just discovered it last night!! So cool!!
@@IkeBeats thanks for the reply.
Kaoss pad is a sound processor with xy pad n a very limited looper. It allows you to add delays ,reverbs etc. This way i could put fx on dubler on a hardware instead of twigging everything on the DAW.
@@IkeBeats hahah. We're all connected in some way,therefore we share the ideas😊
Oh ok that's cool! So yeah just the line in of the Kaoss will do the job.
Did you fit the slide out drawer for your midi keyboard yourself? If so what one is it… got a link?
And thanks for the vid.
It’s just a separate keyboard stand that I just sneak under the desk and pull it out. 👍🏻
So I have a midi comtroller (keyboard) with USB, and midi out/in, and I have an audio interface with midi in/out. Witch connection is better to use in order to avoid issues related to drivers, or OS vs ASIO driver incompabilities, latency and alike. Also, if I do connect my midi keyboard with midi cables to the audio interface, what use is for connection from audio interface OUT -> to midi keyboard IN?
The interface is better to use to avoid those situations.
So the MIDI out from your interface is for your keyboard to receive MIDI notes from your computer. Sending back to your controller.
My keyboard is a CST 3000 and i dont know if you need any driver for him. Can you help me?
I’m not sure. The best way to find out is to try it out to see if you get MIDI signal.
is that also for transfers? so i have pa4x and kronos i mean when i connect both together and change the transfers from pa4x. will transfers also change at kronos?
What do you mean by transfers?
@@IkeBeats
Quarter note sub scale?
Oh I see. I'm not sure I've never tried that. Try it out and see if it works. I'm very curious about that now!
Friend! Your video has made it clear to me how to make the connections, but in my case I have a Presonus Studio24c and I can't make the "midi in" port work, I have an old korg keyboard where I connect the cable in the "midi out", but in my ableton session I don't get a signal. 😭🥲
Check your midi settings in the Ableton preferences. Watch this short on how to do it.

Hello br can we use usb cable for online meeting. I mean for live programs
Correct me if I'm wrong, you want to plug your interface to the livestream?
@@IkeBeats can we use without interface thank you for replying
So from the house mixer straight to a streaming platform?
@@IkeBeats yes
Oh ok yes you can. Make sure you have a separate output to adjust the volume and you are good. That's how we do at my church we do that and connect it straight to the iPad where we go live with the app called Switcher Studio.
Can you use the 5pin midi to connect a piano to speakers or an interface to bring out sound to speakers via the interface ?
Yes you can. As long as your digital piano has midi out, and audio interface has midi in. Once connected, you can process sound through any available vst plugins and output it to monitors or headsets from your audio interface, or/and do recording in to your daw.
useful, thank you
Can i connect two keyboard through midi cable and then one of them through usb midi to a computer and use them both?
Yes you can! Set your second keyboard midi to channel 2 and do the same thing on your computer to channel 2.
So connect your second keyboard from midi out to your main keys midi in then set the channel on the second one.
Ok thanks

hi goodnight i would like to know how to download different types of keyboards on my laptop and midi the keyboard that i download to my yamaha ypg535 to play different sounds
Hi there. You can check out Mainstage by Apple. That's what I'm using. They have a library of sounds.
Hi, how can i connect to keyboards, my motif xf that has midi+usb. My m audio oxygen that only has usb. I want to play sounds from my main keyboard the motif on the oxygen. The oxygen 61 does not have midi in or out. Can you help me
Hi! Thanks for the question! The only thing I can think of is for you to get a USB-A female to B male adapter, then plug it to plug A and see if that works.
У меня лежит миди клавиатура 49 клавишная cme uf 6. По миди подключу, но на моей звуковой карте нет midi входов. По usb драйвера на винду 10 нет, что делать в такой ситуации?
Big help vro
I can't get my USB cable to work on my Millennium 850 drum kit to record audio in streaming software. obs and stream labs. anny ide i have windows 11 . no drives to downloade Millennium 850 drum
The USB on the 850 is only for midi not audio. You can use Output L/mono and R or Phones to get audio from the module.
@@IkeBeats do i ned baye more things ohhhhh sad ok thx for the answer this drum kit make me porr
Do you have an interface or something to record audio with?
Can someone help me? can yamaha ydp 145/144 send midi to computer? It does have midi to usb port, but im not sure
Yes you can! Just like other pianos.
so my keyboard only has a usb a port and ive been trying to figure out how to connect it to a computer
Hmm interesting. Is it for midi or for something else? If it's for midi you can try both usb a ends.
Super sir 🙏
Not all keyboards have usb or midi...for example the Korg B1 does not have anything but a headphone out
how can i connect roland ed pc 300 on windows 10
So the Roland ed pc 300 has a usb port to connect it straight to your pc. Check the midi settings in whatever software you use and make sure that the keyboard is checked (activated).
Bro like my dumbass keyboard it's akm320 sometimes it doesn't work but sometimes it does but when I can't get it to work is when I mess around in FL mobile it doesn't connect but when I go to bandlab online it says midi through port-0
How do I fix this shit
If you have another keyboard, try that. If not it's probably the USB cable or an update if you haven't.
Help my keyboard is charging my computer with usb midi😭
Very confusing
Thanks
I can't connect my Roland A-37 to my flstudio please 🥺 any help
Try this. Since your keyboard doesn’t have a usb, it’s the same thing for the midi plugs.
ruclips.net/video/cg7iy5X_nM8/видео.html
I need work whit 2 controller midi I need 2 interface or only one
If you have midi ports on them and able to change midi channels you'll only need one.
Nice. And how I plug my audio monitors on a mac without audio interface? Is it directly on headphone jacket with a 3.5mm cable?
Correct. If your monitors have L & R plugs you can use a 3.5mm to L & R Cable. That's what I have.
help i have a roland piano not yamaha.
What Roland piano do you have?
@@IkeBeats do you mean like the number? this is my first time actually owning a piano
Ok. If you look at the back of the piano (where it has all the connections), there should be some big numbers/letters.
@@IkeBeats don't the yamaha midi things work with roland?
@@IkeBeats i'm pretty sure i have a P-10
bang kalau jack midi ke printer ada gak ?
Hai! Tidak persis tetapi memiliki USB b seperti antarmuka dan keyboard.
bisa order. kabel midi ke usb type B
Anda dapat menggunakan kabel usb dengan A ke B dan colokkan B ke keyboard Anda dan A langsung ke komputer Anda.
Thank you for your professional explanation!!🙏
I want to ask you if I can connect piano keyboard to PC without needing audio interface!
How can I make a beat only (not necessarily audio song) by using computer connected to the piano keyboard by using USB keyboard?
Thank you
🙏🏻 If your keyboard has a USB port you can connect it straight to you computer without an audio interface.
This to me is a disconnected presentation - lacks continuity. For instance he shows a MIDI cable connecting from keyboard MIDI out to Prosonus MIDI in and then he says the MIDI signal from there to a PC but he doesn't show how - does it go through the USB cable or what?
That's a great question. I'll definitely make a video on that. 👍🏻
Here you go!
