Yamaha P-70 Midi Interface PROBLEM

by Doug
(Sugar Land, TX)

I have a Yamaha P-70 electronic piano. I use to use it with my Mac Powerbook G4 to record with Garageband and it worked great. I upgraded to Leopard and Garageband no longer recognizes the midi interface to USB. As far as interfaces, I have tried the Edirol UM-1X, the E-MU XMidi 1x1, and the Yamaha UX16. None work!!! I've tried all the MAC configuration settings in Audio Midi Setup, and still no answer.

What is the answer to a USB interface between the Yamaha P-70 into a USB that is recognized by the latest GarageBand with Leopard???? Very FRUSTRATING!

Yamaha P-70 Interface FOUND!
by: Doug Simmons

After trying the Yamaha UX16 and Edirol interfaces with my Yamaha P-70 keyboard controller, I was very frustrated and couldn't seem to get my laptop to recognize the controller. I finally found the answer. I ordered the E-MU 1x1 interface from Guitar Center ($29.95) and it works perfectly connected via USB into my MacBook Pro for use with GarageBand and Logic. Now my Yamaha P-70 works great with all the MAC sounds and JamPacks. Don't bother with the Edirol or UX16 as the E-MU is the USB answer!
