hi dear all, I am new here, I request some help from professionals.
I installed logic pro7 in G5. But I am not able to record musics/tracks from my external professional keyboard (PA80), it has MIDI in OUT everything. I tried to connect the "m audio USB MIDI" interface but no idea about to track record in Logoc pro7. So please advice.

Sorry for not offering much practical help but unfortunately you will have to read Logic's manual and go through some tutorials in order to learn stuff like that. Otherwise you may get more replies in a Logic specific forum.

OK - quite easy this one

Inside logic, you have 2 methods of getting MIDI data in and out of the package.

A few things to to first.

1. Check that the MIDI connectors are connected to the right ports on the keyboard(!) (midi IN connector to midi IN - same for the OUT)
2. Inside the Mac - go to MIDI/Audio utilities. (Applications/Utilities/MIDIAudio Setup)
View the "show MIDI setup" - your interface should be showing here. (I'm assuming that the M-Audio had drivers and you've installed them)
3. Inside Logic - just load up a new song, and get any software instrument loaded up. When you play your keyboard the "input" data on Logic's transport *should* be generating numbers/data.
You should also see the audio meters bouncing on the plugin track inside Logic - you should also be hearing it!!!
This will indicate that you're MIDI is happening!

I'll PM you with a document on how to set it up - can't attach files here.

but it is pretty ease

It was quicker to save the file as jpegs & upload!!! This is a document that I give to my students.....

hope this helps a bit!
