My fellow musicians....I GOT DA KEYBOAD (int)....NOW WHAT DA DO???

[chevonee]

OHHH....The USB port on your board is your midi port to the PC...you need to download the driver for the board to do midi (actually to play midid on the PC).

Just get that and install and you can use it with Cubase (not a fan of that).

Yeah Dd which one do I choose because I don't see one for the M08...I see one for the Motif8 is that the same thing? Oh yeah and so you're saying that as long as I have the USB cable that I don't need to have the midi cable.

I don't think the classis has a USB port right? If not, you may have to get the USB-MIDI cord to get yours working in the PC world.

I give you my drivers then. You have XP or vista? And yes, if you have the USB cable you can do midi to the PC. But you need a standard one if you going to connect to another keyboard oior module.

I may get my board back this week...haven't seen it since the first sunday of Jan. SO I can help you with it as well. The sequencer is not hard but once you get it, it's a breeze.

To the PC?

I played the classic only twice but never paid attention to the back of the board.

No problwm Vonne! 

Vista Driver For Yamaha MO8

Unzip folder

Plug USB cable to MO then to PC

Turn MO on and it going to ask for the location. Browse it to the folder (you just unzippd...then point it to the driver folder)

Vista should pick it up and you good to go for that part...LOL! Then you have to configure it to your sequencer program (Cubase or whatever you using on the PC) to pick it up.

LOL!! Cubase is a a sequencer program that you would use to do your MIDIs or audio from (unless you want to do them on your MO itself). DAW (digital audio workstation)  is a system designed to record, edit and play back digital audio. In other words you can record on your MO and play it back on your computer for recording. Don't worry about DAW right now, you already confused with what I JUST typed .

I've only used voice mode, 1. hit "voice" 2. Hit Catagorey Search 3. hit Organ. I use the patch called "fully" and it lets you use sliders as drawbars. and of course you have the mod wheel as the leslie switch.  I hope that helped

Thanks U13...this is very helpful. How do I split the keyboard and save the voice or sound that I create??
