Using onboard digital keyboard sounds for MIDI sounds
I have researched this but have not found the answer - so my apologies for a basic question. I want to use my Kawai MP9500 sounds in MIDI tracks - not just as the controller - but I want the actual sounds to be in the MIDI track so I can edit these and then the MP9500 sounds are the actual sounds I am working with. In other words, the 9500 would become a VI. It works great to control my other virtual instruments but it does not show up on the VI list as an instrument itself. I looked in Peripheral in the set up and the keyboard does not show up. I am using a DIGI 002 Rack (I know its old but it works). What am I missing? Windows 10, PT 2021.3.1. I have been a PT user since 2002 and feel foolish that I cannot figure this out. Rightly so, huh?

Re: Using onboard digital keyboard sounds for MIDI sounds
MIDI has no sound. MIDI is only data.
If you want the sound from the MP9500 in Pro Tools, you have to connect audio cables from the output of the keyboard to the input of the 002 and create an Audio track (or Aux) set to the inputs you have the cables plugged into. You could use an Instrument track for the MIDI, but you could also use a MIDI track instead. Set the input and output of the MIDI track to your MP9500, which I'm guessing would be the MIDI ports of the 002.

Re: Using onboard digital keyboard sounds for MIDI sounds
In mixer window, set it to show "Instruments" (along w/inserts, sends...). And make shure your midi/inst track is set to the Kawai, there in the instrument in and out settings.

Re: Using onboard digital keyboard sounds for MIDI sounds
Ahh..thank you. I think I may be getting close. Now I just need to set up the Kawai to where it shows as an instrument. My best guess is that this is done in "peripherals" in the SETUP tab. I will experiment more. Thanks!

Re: Using onboard digital keyboard sounds for MIDI sounds
No, Peripherals is not where you setup keyboards. That happens under Setup>Midi>Midi Instruments. The crucial setting there is the INPUT PATH so Pro Tools knows where to "look for" incoming midi data
