Connecting Korg PA600 with Mac M1 Mini & Garage band

[sridharar]

I searched in the forum and did not find anything that jumped out as related to this.

I am trying to connect with my MAC Mini M1 (and garage band on it) for recording and playback (like I do on Windows with cakewalk).

I am using USB Midi. Just using whatever Midi Drivers are there with Sonoma 14* OS.


Has anyone done this successfully?
Can you please share your experience for setting it up and getting to work?

a) My MAC MINI is seeing my Korg PA600 as I am able to play on PA600 and record it to any instrument track on Garage band.
b) I am also able to use Midi View to see midi messages coming in from PA600.

But I am not able to Test the Out Connection to PA600.
I am not sure which channel it is sending the Test Midi Messages and how to see and view them.

c) On the Garage band I also do not see any configuration for selecting the Midi Channel for the incoming messages.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have been using Garage band on iOS for several years and this is the first time I starting on the MAC Mini (and will do so also on my MAC Pro). They seem to be quite different despite similarities.

Looks like this topic was not of much interest to others here.
I am all set. Solved all the issues.

PM me if you are trying to do this and run into issues.
