@syed omaeer well, good luck ...
i have an electric piano and a MacBook air, when i connect them with a midi to USB connector in order to play piano in to logic pro x, the sound still comes out the piano... what do i do??
For midi to iPad, this one should be a perfect one, it also has a charger portwww.amazon.com/Keyboard-Electronic-Instrument-Microphone-Compatible/dp/B08DMKM56Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=midi+cable+for+ipad&qid=1598009871&sr=8-15
Your videos are extremely helpful. My husband was my tech guy for my home studio. He died and now I am looking for answers for my simple tech problems (not so simple for me). Thank you!
My condolences and prayers for your healing heart 💗
Amazing, thank you for all your videos!! I've been trying to figure out how to record my keyboard for YEARS but didn't even know what terms to start my search. So glad I stumbled upon all your videos, such a huge help! :)
Happy to help!
OMG! I am returning a mini midi controller that I just bought from Amazon. I just found that my old 61 key Yamaha PSRE333 works as a midi controller for my iPhone thru this video! TYSM!
This is a lovely piece of work. Incredible graphics and clear instruction. Thank you for all the work you have obviously done here.
DEAR MUSIC REPO I must say WOW !!!!!!!!!U ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT MOST TEC VIDEOS DONT ANSWER THANK U SO MUCH YOUR VIDEOS THEY REALLY HELP ME KNOW WHAT IM DOING SO MUCH AND WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY SOFTWARE AND DIGTAL KEYBROADS BIG THANKS AND IM A BIG FAN NOW MIKE ALL THE BEST YOU MUSIC REPO LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!!!)))))
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much for your very helpful, thought through and nicely presented content! I absolutely enjoy watching your videos.
Is there a difference between the quality of these 2 options:
- USB connection from keyboard to phone/computer
- keyboard - interface - phone/computer
The sound of my recordings from keyboard to my phone (in garageband) via USB cable sounds terrible
Thanks so much. Very clear and explained exactly what I needed to know. One of the best instruction videos I've seen.
Thank you very much! Which keyboard is suitable for connecting to computer MacBookAir macOS to record notes in Finale program?
Can you write down the number of a modern Roland with the cable you mentioned? The salesmen in the stores don't always know everything. Irena. Nice to meet you!
Great tutorial thank you. I have the Roland go key, I’m using Bluetooth to connect to garage band, how do I fix the latency?
Thankfully for the video nice and clean, this is my question:
I have Arturia key lab esencial and just have midi thru, how I can connect to my iPad please help me thanks
Thank you so very much for clearing the murky Midi waters for me. To try understanding the very basics has been made very much easier. Thanks to you. I'm watching your great tutorials, which are produced in easy to understand language. Kind regards Old Bob!
Hi, ma'am, which connection is better, midi to interface or midi to direct mac or pc
I have a question about hooking up multiple midi devices at the same time. Ex. 1. OUT on device 1 goes to IN on device two. OUT on device 2 goes to IN on device 1. Everything works fine.
Ex 2. Now I want to connect three keyboards on the same chain. Do I just use OUT 1 to IN 2, then OUT 2 to IN 3, then back up the chain? Or do I chain devices 1 & 2 as indicated above and then use midi thru from device 1 or 2 to control device 3? I have successfully connected two Roland keyboards using the first as a controller for the second (as I described in the first example). What midi connects to I make to access keyboard 3 (or sound module like Integra 7), and from which keyboard? To keep it simple I have omitted using an interface or computer for this question.
Ex 3. (Question) What would I use midi thru for and how?
Thank you for your response.
I just came across your video which is very helpful. I have a Yahama YPT270 which doesn't have either a midi port or usb port. It has an Aux in port. Is there a way to set up the keyboard to an iPad to access piano learning apps? Thanks for your feedback.
I have an IPad and an iPhone with a Roland Go Keys like you mentioned, I connected my keyboard to my (GarageBand) iPhone with Bluetooth, is it possible to connect my keyboard to my IPad as well but using a lightning usb with an android cord to the keyboard (usb), when i tried it out the keys from the Roland Go Keys on keyboard kept playing loud (I wanted GarageBand) with Roland piano sample keys going off when I press the key, how does the keyboard connect to IPad with headphones with only the GarageBand samples sounds being heard when I press the keys?❤ wonderful video by the way🎉
Thanks for sharing so much for free. Very helpful.
I own a Roland fp90x keyboard which should connect in midi to my PC. Connecting audio is quite straightforward but struggle with Midi. I can't find anything in the owner's manual. Any suggestions? Thanks
Nicely done, thanks for posting. I'm just now wading into this territory, getting my ancient Korg DW-6000 to cooperate with various DAWs on the PC.
Thanks! Good luck 👍
how about the software what is the best software to get started with the midi keyboard? and does it needs a driver to install the application for the first time user?
Concise, informative video. Excellent!
A video on software to use would be an awesome extra video :)
I have the Roland keyboard which is great for Bluetooth connection but I am wondering if it is possible to connect it to my audio interface and how. Thanks!
Yes. See this video ruclips.net/video/vJD6RL_2yAc/видео.html
Good Video and I’m glad that you had made this video because I’m a Beginner my small set up includes a MacBook Pro 💻, a 4Port Hub a M-Audio MK3 Key Station midi controller that has usb & 1 Midi output & yesterday I had got my Akai MPD218 midi controller that has a USB connection a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Generation audio interface a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones 🎧 a Rod pod mic & a pair of Silver Rokit KRK monitors. After looking at your video I’m going to end up ordering the Roland Um-one mk2 cords specifically to use with a external MIDI Sound Module like The Roland JV-1080 which has the MIDI in & Midi out connection which I will end up buying off of EBay or Guitar 🎸 Center. My question to you is how do I connect my USB midi controller that has a MIDI out with my Akai MPD218 USB Pad midi Controller ? My guess is to connect both to my 4port hub that is connected to my MacBook Pro 💻 Mid 2012 that’s my guess but I need to know how I can get the sounds loaded into my keyboard 🎹 controller & my Akai MPD218 USB midi Pad controller? Cause I’m thinking about starting out with Ableton live lite since it comes free with both of my midi controllers & not only that I don’t want to use Akai’s MPC Beats Software that comes with their controller simply because Ableton is the better & easier program to learn do you agree? Any advice will be appreciated. Marc
Great video thanks! So if I have a keyboard without MIDI ports, just USB to host (USB-B) and I want to use that as a controller for a keyboard that has MIDI ports - will the adapter cable you mention work in that direction as well? I have a different brand of the same kind of cable and I tried getting that to work without much success (wasn't sure if that cable should work in both directions)
Hi there! your tutorials are awesome. I bought the Roland UM-ONE MK2. I connected the Midi In to Midi Out on my keyboard. I followed the connection diagram on your article. I downloaded the driver previously. I open Chordie App and it doesn't receive any input from my keyboard. I selected UM-ONE on the Midi Input Menu. I plugged in a midi controller with a usb cable and worked right away with the app. I don't understand what I did wrong
Fantastic detailed video, many thanks - I'm about to go on the road, so this was invaluable advice.
Hey and what is the PC your yousing and the software to ? And great work 👍👌💪😎🎹🎹🎹
Thanks for the thorough explanation!
Thank you! You covered USB C which most people don't.
Do you know how to connect to an ipad through a macbook? USB keyboard to macbook, mac type c to lightning. The mac recognizes the midi keyboard, but the ipad doesn't. Trying to figure out MIDI studio software on the mac, but I obviously don't know how it works very well. Help appreciated!
This is the exact thing I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have managed to connect my piano to my computer, the computer is recognising it, but there is no sound when I play it back. Do I need an audio interface in order to be able to hear back what I have recorded. I am using Reaper. Thanks
Hi. I find your videos super easy to follow. I have a question...I am buying a new MIDI controller keyboard to use with my guitars and mics, all conneted to an auio interface. My interface has 5 pin. Most of the new contollers do not have 5 pin midi ports, only usb to computer. If I want to connect guitar, keys and mic, should I just plug keyboard into laptop alongside interface? Or get an adapter to convert 5 pin to usb?
Hi, yes run it alongside. Should work fine.
@@MusicRepo Thanks so much!!
Would you consider making a video on how to set up Bluetooth keyboard for recording in logic?
I have the Roland Go piano (with Alexa). I want to record the piano, but I keep hooking the piano up as a speaker instead of an input. I don't see that option so I'm not sure if it isn't capable, or if I'm making a mistake somehow :/ LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BTW! :)
Hi, Thanks. I also have a Go Piano, you cannot record the sound of it using the Bluetooth, only make a MIDI connection, or as you have discovered, you can playback computer audio via the piano speakers. The only way to record the sound is via a cable.
I got mine hooked up yesterday thanks to your video! (My gf said to make sure I go back and let you know 😉 cos it’s polite)
I have a Tyros 1 which connects to my computer via USB cable, can I transfer Style files from PC to the Tyrus? Just found your site and will be back, nice clear instructions.
My question is, I will be connecting with the Voker from the usb port of a Yamaha Genos directly to the Ipad Mini 2, but you often make reference to the Ipad needing it's own power source, but how can I do this if the Voker plugs directly into the only port that I also use for recharging, or can I assume that power is being supplied from the MIDI keyboard to the Ipad if connected in this way? Can you also please tell me if this would also work with FL Studio? Many thanks in advance
I found the video very helpful thanks. Question: Do I need to use 2 midi cables to connect from keyboard to pc via audio interface box? If so why? Can I not just use one cable (out from mkeyboard to In on Audio interface box).
thanks :)
Can I ask a question? How many MIDI cables are needed when connecting a MIDI keyboard to a sound card?
Is a single cable sufficient between the MIDI keyboard out connection and the MIDI in connection of the sound card? Then the sound card will be connected to the PC.
Will this allow you to send audio to the keyboard, use the keyboard as a speaker?
Thanks for your videos. I'm still struggling however. All I want to do is combine a backing track from an online piano teacher (MP3 online file) and the audio from my piano (with MIDI output) and play it through headphones so I don't disturb the house. Mixer? Audio Interface? It seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out. Can you recommend one of your videos?
Mixing issue. YOu're talking about two different sound sources and want to hear them together so you need a way to blend them. You can do it with a small desktop hardware like she shows above with the Focusrite or you could do it in software.
the best explanation on youtube! very clear and direct! tks
I need help please!
What if my keyboard only has two midi out ports? (For example the Fatar studio900) can i still use the midi to usb cable?
So here my question (sorry if it sounds stupid): If I connect my synths to a controler (Roland Fantom), it should be enough for me to connect the MIDI/USB from the controler into the interface and from the interface to the computer (using the DAW as a mixer) and then the audio from all keyboards into the interface to the speakers? I just bought my Fantom and next step is the DAW (most likely Logic). I have never used an interface and I'm afraid my old school ways of doing things (way back in the 80s and 90s) is not how things are done today. So I am a little bit confused.
Thank you for the excellent explanation. It was clear and concise.
I just purchased a bluetooth -based set of in ears with very low latency. Are there some suggestions for bluetooth controllers with low latency?
I have a Roland Go Piano, it’s not too bad ... don’t have any experience of any others.
I'm a bit confused about those midi cables... Are those the same as regular xlr cables? Thanks
I have a Yamaha PSR-E443, Akai MPD26 DrumPad that has a Midi in and Out inputs & USB 2 0 & MacBook Pro Mid 2012, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Second Generation audio interface & a USB Turntable and I am thinking about getting a Round JV-1080 Sound module which has the 5 pin Midi in & Midi outputs & a pair of KRK Classic Rokit 5 G3 Monitors.
My issue is that I'm thinking about buying the $200 M-Audio Keystation 61- Key Controller, because I heard that a lot of Yamaha PSR- Electronic keyboards don't recognize and support a lot of DAW'S like PreSonus studio One, MPC BEATS, Logic Pro.
So for my set up do you think that it would be better to buy the M-Audio Keystation 61 Controller?
I'm trying to connect my Roland FP-30 to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth.
I haven't had all that much success yet - is this because there is no MIDI out on this model of keyboard?
Sibelius is recognising it as an input device but no information is being sent.
Your videos are fab!
Very Nice video I wish I found it month ago when I bough my first midi keyboard :)
I have a question: I would like to connect some Bose USB speakers to my KORG D1, I have found an USB to Jack adapter but a lot of review on this cable show that it doesn't work with a lot of devices. Do you have any solution?
I’m having trouble with my m-audio keyboard connecting to MainStage . I’m using an audio box interface. The only difference I see between your setup and mine is I only have one midi out port on my keyboard. not sure if that’s the issue or not, but my korg nano control is communicating fine, neither the keyboard or pedal are communicating. Any thoughts?
Hello, I bought an irig i/o 49 and love it. I bought it mainly for its small size to practice on the go. But was wondering if it’s possible to play these midi devices in the background while reading sheet music on another app or browser? I’m using an 8th gen IPad
Ciao, quindi con la roland go piano posso utilizzare semplicemente il bluetooth per effettuare il collegamento MIDI con il mio pc?
Thanks for this. I have 15 ipads in school and need to connect them to midi keyboards. If I wanted to record vocals and guitar into garageband as well as keyboard, would the audio interface be the best option or only option? Would I need the lightening adapter in this situation as well in any case?
I have a yamaha mx 6 1 with audio midi cable port ( n old one that looked like it would work) which I connect to my IOS Mac. I press record and in my monitor headphones off the keyboard I. hear nice rich sounds. I then rewind and hit play in Garage band, and my track issues screechy, weak pulses instead of the rich bountiful sounds I heard on input. Help! Love. the clarity of video MIDI explanation btw!
Hmm, it sounds like you are listening to the sound of your keyboard. Do you want to record the sound of it? If you do then you need to watch this. ruclips.net/video/vJD6RL_2yAc/видео.html
But if you want to use it as a MIDI controller, then you need to have your headphones plugged into your computer or audio interface (if you are using one) to hear what is going on in Garageband
Got me hooked-up. Thanks
Hello, I have a Casio keyboard with only a jack port of 6.35 mm I believe. How do I go about connecting it with my phone so I can use the midi on my piano app?
Is a connection midi keyboard iphone reliable for live concerts?
Hello!
I am very interested in the possibilities that you talk about in this video. Could you answer one question that I don't understand?
Midi-cables should be used in a pair?
From input to output and from output to input?
At first I thought I could buy one cable. I have a SL-88 Studiologic and an Steinberg UR22C audio interface.
Do you have such experience?
You mention that the apple camera adapter needs to be powered. So how do I power it? I hope you see this.
Thanks
Thank you for the video. Is it possible to record a loop on a Roland Go Keys to play along too and save it then transfer to a smart phone as a backing track for busking. Thank you
I have a CASIO WK6500 and Cakewalk Daw with BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLU-IN, I want to create multi-trak classical music using my keyboard to control the DAW instruments. Which of these options are BEST for me. Thanks.
you explain everything very deeply.keep sharing.thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Great! For the focusrite you showed, do you really just power that through the USB connection to a computer? Have you ever used a powered USB adapter for a Mac computer to connect a focusrite? Not just to an iPad? Thanks again!
Thanks. No I've never done that. It just runs on USB power.
Been playing with it. To rephrase the question into another question: ever get odd quirks with the output through headphones plugged into the interface? inverted left/right channels, or similar? Using some random 1/4 inch adapter
Talked to Focusrite - a badly engineered 1/4 inch connector connecting bad cans can cause a requirement for turning panning all the way to left or right to get decent volume from mono effects. Who knew??
Interesting ....
Is it possible to record MIDI and Audio over Bluetooth in DAW
Thanks so much for the explanation. I recently bought this iRig Pro Duo I/O. However, I have a keyboard that only have MIDI in and out port. And, The Duo I/O package came with several adapters. However, I could not find the right one to connect. I just want to confirm it’s the 5 pin male - 5 pin male cable that I need to connect the keyboard to Duo I/O. Or I need something else. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
I think the iRig Pro Duo has 5-pin DIN MIDI port? In which case yes
What option is the best solution to avoid the latency between the Keyborad and the PC?
Hi Jane, as always, Music Repo comes through with an extremely clear, concise and complete video. My question - what do you recommend for connecting both old pro equipment (my vintage Yamaha SY99 synth has MIDI In, Out and THRU) and a just -purchased Yamaha keyboard that features USB connectivity for MIDI hook up? Can I connect them both in some way? Using a new M1 Macbook Pro... cheers, and keep up the brilliant videos!
Thank you very much for your informative videos. I have two Yamaha keyboards the E373 and the DGX670 both have USB to Host A B connections. I would like to know if it is possible to connect these two keyboards together via a USB Female to Female adapter to share Memory Registrations OR Styles from the E373 to the DGX670?
Omggg thankss. So freakin good information... greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Thank you for your informations. I have a question about my yamaha clavinova clp 230 model digital piano. I have also download the driver for windows 8 from Yamaha website. This piano has also usp port on it. I plug in cable to usp port on piano and the other part on pc. 1. How can I test the result? Just one cable is enough for work? I have audocity program on pc. 2. And Can I plug in clp 230 piano to iPhone garageband? Does it directly works with camera adaptor?
This was really helpful! Which app do you recommend just for sound ? I literally just want to press the keys on my piano and hear the sound, I don’t need to see which notes are being played or need to compose or anything like that. Ideally, I could just connect my keyboard to a Bluetooth speaker, but unfortunately, I don’t have a Bluetooth keyboard. Thanks!
Hi, depends what sort of sound ... you could have a look at the Miroslav Philharmonik? fave.co/3mrlGnX (affiliate link)
Thanks for the video - I do admit that it’s a bit frustrating - I do have the Roland UM-ONE but my MacBook running Ableton with the latest OS (Catalina) doesn’t recognize MIDI from my keyboard .. and I suspect it’s an OS incompatibility issue.... I’m not sure if I need to just wait to Roland to release a driver or what I should do!?!?
I want to purchase a digital piano or midi keyboard and use Kontakt 6 Native Instruments for the piano sample library. Do I have to use a laptop or iPad to download Kontakt 6 piano library or can I download that on my phone?
Thanks. I am a newbie! 😊 I want to buy a digital piano/midi though, but at the same time a midi keyboard is inexpensive. Please tell me what I should do. Thank you.
Deatailed and Easy to understand instructions😍
Do you have to have an interface when using an ipad
I'm a PC user with a Yamaha cvp 701 digital piano. Love the instrument but not the small display screen. The 701 has midi in and out and a square connector for a USB cable. Is there any way to connect the 701 to a TV? I have several and that would solve my display frustration. Thanks!
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
Does TRANSPOSE function of your Casio Keyboard also work on the MIDI CONNECTED to Android
Can you transpose from Key F to C
and it will work
Hello, Could u help me to make a recording setup with the tools that I have ?
An iPad, Line6Ux2, AKG p120 mic. I’m a musician and a school teacher from India . I wish to make contents of students singing,recitations.. to encourage them. I ve seen some of your videos and really appreciate the effort.
Straight to the point👍 Very helpful. Thanks!!
HI MUSIC REPO THANKS AGAI FOR YOUR VIDEOS I LEARN SO MUCH WITH YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE TRULY GREAT !!!!!!!

Helpful video! I have almost everything, just missing a good computer/MacBook to start to record.
Thanks for doing this. I recently purchased a Roland FP-30x with the belief that I could use it as a controller for GarageBand in a Mac. For years I used a keyboard that had midi ports which I ran through a Steinberg Audio interface. However, using the Bluetooth Midi connection, it doesn't appear that there is a way to get a signal from the piano to the Mac. I can play music from my Mac to the piano speakers (not a function that I'm interested in), but I cannot get the piano to send a signal to the Mac. My next solution is a USB cord which I was hoping to avoid. Any thoughts? Is there a setting that I am missing? Thanks!
Hi What's the next move, where in the laptop do you configure. I have a KorgM1 keyboard and using FL studio 20. On a Windows computer. PLEASE
Do you know of good android apps that I can use to make good sounds on my keyboard (yamaha)
Do midi has score writing software and how can I install midi? Thank you
I have an old Yamaha PSR 48. Does the output automatically go to Midi or is there a way of setting the keyboard to do this?
Does the usb cord need to be a thunderbolt cord or can I us a regular usb cord? To connect to my imac desktop.
Hi hope you can help me. Love all your videos very informative.. I wanted to know how to use my headphones while playing my keyboard and connect to my Android phone. I know I need a splitter that connects in the back of the keyboard then connect the headphone into the splitter but I'm not sure what the other piece is I need to connect to splitter to phone. Ugh
Thank you for your very useful video. I wonder if you could explain something to me. I have an old Yamaha PF15 which I like to use with a separate sound module (Roland Sound Canvas) for better sound options. What I haven't been successful to do so far is to connect the two devices to my computer so while I use the keyboard as the controller, I use the module as the sound source. How shall I connect the devices to input music into a DAW from the keyboard and be able to use the sounds from the external module? Many thanks.
Hi. I have a older keyboard (Korg M50) that has both USB and two 9-pin MIDI outputs on it. I tried to connect it to iPad via USB using the Apple camera adapter but the keyboard sound does not go into Garageband and it does not work as a keyboard controller. I'm wondering if using the MIDI outputs would work??? Do think that either using the Roland UM-One cable or going from MIDI into the Focusrite AI would allow me to use the Korg as a Keyboard controller?
Hi, can you connect traditional 5 pins MIDI port with a kind of jack MIDI port?
hi i have purchased a midi cable with u USB on the end. My keyboard has 5 pin type. Now do the plugs go into the keyboard in in the in and out in the out? ive tried both ways and my keyboard isn't able to communicate to the computer
Please reply. I am thinking about picking up a Roland GO-61P-A. It only has Bluetooth. Will I be able to get it to run Synthesia on my PC? And do you ever experience delay when using Bluetooth and play keys?
Thank you!!!! This is exactly I needed to know!!!
I tried recording on the keyboard, but as mentioned in the manual
1. connect Go Keys via mini usb port to my mac
2. copy the files in the Backup folder
But when I open the midi file, mac opens the GarageBand app and the piano sound turns into organ sound ...
I used Piano+Pad to play in the keyboard. If I replay it from the keyboard, it sounds fine.
how do I get the file that produces the one I hear from the keyboard?
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing. I subscribed and clicked the bell.
Glad it helped you. Thanks!
Hi thanks for the video.. I have Yamaha P-125 can with only USB to host.. how I can record MIDI ?
You just need a USB lead, and follow the instructions in the manual to make a MIDI connection. You can then use the keyboard to record MIDI tracks in Ableton or similar ...
I just bout a Mac and I am trying to connect my Samson carbon 49 to it. my question is does this require a Thunderbolt 3 cord? I'm new to Mac and also new to making music 😬thee option I am using is usb connection.
Hello! I have an Akai Pro MPC key 61 and I’m trying to route the midi cord from my keyboard through my interface (Focusrite 4i4). I can’t get any sound to come from the keyboard however.
Do I need 2 midi cables-one each for the IN and OUT port to run from my keyboard to the interface, or just the 1 going from the keyboard OUT to the interface IN?
Hope I’m not confusing you. Thank you!
