Midi keyboard connection questions
Hello,
I haven't really messed with the I/O in Pro Tools 11, so I'm not sure if what I'm hoping will work is even feasibly possible. Two questions: 1. Is there any work around to use a M-Audio Radium 49 on a Mac 10.7.5? I know that it's discontinued and will only work on earlier OS. Though, I wanted to see if there is a way to still use the keyboard without having to downgrade my OS or anything. 2. Would it be possible to use a Casio CT-648 as a midi controller by connecting it through it's headphones/output that would go into my MacBook Pro's microphone line-in port? Pretty sure it won't work, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks! |

Evidently you know nothing about MIDI as it's a digital signal and trying to feed it with an analog signal like your keyboard's headphones output to the audio input of your MBP is a fool's errand. In short - ain't gonna work. |

As musicman says, your Radium 49 should work. I have a Casio CT 691 which I occasionally
use as a controller keyboard by using 5 pin midi cables connected to my interface.

All the sites that I've gone to, such as Lynda, shows something like this: I feel like I'm just dumb and missing something. And with the Casio, I figured that it wouldn't work, but felt like asking just to be 100% sure. |

That's the audio pane of Audio MIDI setup. I'm not in front of a mac, but there should be a Window menu that allows you to switch to the MIDI pane.

Re: Midi keyboard connection questions
Ah, there it is. Thank you.
Now, I've been trying for a while to get this keyboard to work in Pro Tools 11, but I can't seem to get anything to recognize the keyboard. I mean, when the keyboard is plugged into the computer via USB, nothing gets recognized in the midi window or anywhere in the pro tools set up. I just suppose I'm not doing something correctly? |

Re: Midi keyboard connection questions
I think you need a driver for the radium. I have a super old midisport and it needs one
http://m-audio.com/index.php?do=supp...eleases=1#tabs Check the box that says 'show older releases' under driver updates. It's in there |
