What do you do if your midi or keyboard does not show up blinking after the test midi”?
Short and directly to the point. Thanks
Your video just soloved my MIDI device problem that I have had for 2 weeks. I had gotten a document from apple about finding out how to test to see if my computer is getting the signal from my MIDSI device but I learn best from seeing, not reading. When you got to the part where you played a key on your keyboard and the up arrow lighted up - - yep that was the problem. My up arrow did not light up. Thank you sooooooo very musch for your great video.
Glad it was helpful and tnank you for the comment!
Thanks. Big help, but regrettably the only signal my Kawai CL35 seems to put out is the release of the Sustain pedal!
thank you so much! it worked
Thanks to your video, I noticed my keyboard isn't connecting. But my Akai MPK249 isn't connecting to my Mac book. I've tried to find the driver file, but I haven't found it for a week. Can you help?
my keyboard is showing up there but it doesn't work when i test it and it doesn't get recognized in fl studio and garageband im on apple mac mini m1.
hello, first thanks for your video! I'm having an issue though when I test if my Mac is receiving the signals from my keyboard, the thing is it doesn't appear as a keyboard or a piano or whatever it appears as IAC thingy and then when I click to see if it can receive the signals from it it just beeps continuously even when I don't press a key on my keyboard (like a heartbeat) I must add tho that when I press a key the beep goes faster and when I click the other arrow my keyboard reacts (it presses all the keys at the same time)
Sir my midi novation 61 keyboard 4th octave keys velocity range automatically loud voice is yet please help me My problem sir
Thanks so much. I have a keystation mini 32 mk3 but Mac Ventura, for any reason don't play with it. Apps don't find it. Your video helps me to chow that part to test. And I did. But Keyboard no answer. Thansk so much for the video.
Hi Cristina. I looked at the M-Audio support website and it seems that the Keystation Mini 32 Mk3 is not supported under Ventura. It is quite an old controller now. So, you will need something more recent, or a class compliant device. See the compatibilty list here support.m-audio.com/en/support/solutions/articles/69000824934-m-audio-macos-13-ventura-compatibility
@@socialinterior Hi. Thanks so much for your reply. The key station is working fine already with the Ventura. Was a cable issue. He+s working with all apps. even Garage Band now. I wonder if it will work with Sonoma. But I will see when I do the upgrade. Thanks so much again.
@@CristinaTeixeiraTV thats great news. Sometimes when they say it isn't supported it still works (!)
done the test on my alsesis v49 and nothings coming up, thought my midi keyboard is lit up need help!
Tutorial is very clear! Learned some more but my problem is not solved. I've got a Roland A500 pro midi controller and it appears in the Midi Studio, but it doesn't give the blue light when I press the keys.. Any ideas?
como hago si no estan llegando? la mac me reconoce el dispositivo lo puedo ver desde el listado de dispositivos usb en la mac pero no me aparece en la configuracion de dispositivos midi
Sounds like you need to install a driver. What is the device and does it need a driver for MacOS?
hey, thanks for the video! i have a ctk 800 casio but my mac is not detecting it. I tried to install some drivers in internet but is not working. Do you know any driver or an alternative? thank you :)
Hmm it looks like Casio did not make a MaCOS driver for the CTK800 but I came across this third party solution which you could try? github.com/francoisferland/casiousbmididriver
i tried it, but when you go into the download url it says page dont found :(, perhaps thanks a lot for the solution!!@@socialinterior
How do you setup expression faders?
If you've established the basic input is working like in this video, then your computs will also be seeing your midi based faders on the controller. I'm pressing keys here but if I was moving faders they would register in audio/midi setup too. From there if you want to map these to parameters, this needs to be done within your DAW. There will be a 'midi controller assignment' or midi learn' function.
Nice simple tutorial, Julian. However, you don't explain what to do if the MIDI device isn't registering input data. I have a Fantom 08 that shows up in the MIDI Studio, but it's not registering when I run the test MIDI setup you demonstrate. There's no indication that the OS (Monterey in this case) is receiving input data when I play the keys. I've deleted the device and it reappears in the MIDI Studio window when I reboot the keyboard, but the Mac still isn't receiving MIDI data. Any suggestions?
Hi Doug. Thanks for your comment. The Roland Fantom G8 is long discountinued, so the first thing to check is that you have drivers that work with your current OS. The last revision of the driver was for OS10.10 Yosemite (2014-17). So, there is a chance the driver will not function properly on newer operating systems. That might be the most likely explanation. Here is another free utility that is useful to view incoming MIDI data. www.snoize.com/midimonitor/ If you are not seeing anything on this utility either, my guess is that your driver is incompatible with your operating system. Hope this helps
@@socialinterior, thanks for the quick reply. By the way, it's a Fantom 08 not G8, and I think I solved the problem. Took a bit of additional research, but it appears all that was needed was to switch one of the 16 internal zones to an external zone in order for MIDI data to be output to the MacBook Pro via USB.That did the trick.
@@DougRawady Great that you found it. It's not the first thing that most people would think (that the controller is not sending MIDI at all)
@@DougRawadyyo doug, i have the exact same problem with the fantom 08 on macos, could you please explain what exactly you changed…? thanks in advance!
@@aight420 from my previous reply: "it appears all that was needed was to switch one of the 16 internal zones to an external zone in order for MIDI data to be output to the MacBook Pro via USB.That did the trick." Hope that helps.
I have my mpk249 plugged in and the lights are on but the computer isn’t recognizing it.. what should I do?
I need a bit more information. What computer are you running and which operating system? Google tells me the MPK249 needs a firmware update to work with M1/M2 processors. Is it a recent mac with an M series processor?
Thank you. I was having the hardest time. But my Ableton Live does not see the device.
This is an Ableton issue. You need to set the MIDI input settings to your chosen input device in Ableton preferences
I have recently purchased a macbook air m1 buy its not reading my roland a49 even after installing the driver
Have you tried swapping the USB cable for another and is it directy connected to the computer (ie not through a hub)?
This, save my life. I'm using a PreSonus USB 96 with an old Casio Privia PX-310. Using Midi to the PreSonus but was not receiving signal in Ableton. Went through this to check midi to my old MacBook Pro circa 2016, was getting input so I knew it was then an Ableton issue and not the controller. Geeze. If anyone is also having issues with Ableton with an audio interface, check to make sure Ableton has the audio interface as an Input device, then tab over to Link, Tempo, MIDI in the Preferences and set the Input Ports to the audio interface.
My keyboard is greyed out. Ive tried two different keyboards, and two different cables. What could it possibly be?
Which keyboard are you using? Have you downloaded and installed the correct driver?
@@socialinterior I'm using an M Audio keystation 88ES. It should be plug and play, as always, but I had it unplugged for a few months. I plugged it in, then it won't recognise at all. It lights up, but no midi detected. I'm really late for a project for a client.
@@markadairofficial Did you get anywhere with this? I can't find any info on it at all
@maxdavids5445 No, still nothing. Very strange. I'm almost at a point of reformatting my mac to start fresh.
@@markadairofficial I have the new mac mini m2 pro and no luck. I've contacted m audio. I've also ordered a couple of new leads to see if that's the issue. I will update you if I find anything out. If you haven't heard from me please feel free to give me a nudge haha.
Does it work on Monterey?
Yes, sure does!
What if it’s not🤨
Check you've installed any necessary drivers and that the drivers are compatible with the operating system you are running. That's a good set of first moves.
@@socialinterior thank you so much this helped a lot
This title is not accurate. My Mac does not see my Keyboard and your video does not help me resolve that.
I would recommend changing the title to 'How to verify that your MacOS sees your MIDI Keyboard".
I beg to differ. Is your keyboard class compliant or not? If not, have you installed the correct driver? Go back and check the first 30 seconds.
Yes 👍
god dammit i'm going through dozens of videos why is this so complicated
