Hi Ellen!
I did as you requested. I went through the process taking notes as I went. I’ll try pasting the rfid file here and see what happens.
Greg Ondo’s
External MIDI Instrument Method
Greg made a colossal mistake by using a keyboard that hooks up to the Mac with USB. Because of this, he completely left out the step of creating a VST instrument from scratch. Bummer.
1. Studio > More Options > MIDI Device Manager
2. Click Install Device button
3. There was no Yamaha MM6 device, so I chose Yamaha MM
4. Close the MIDI Device Manager window
5. Project > Add Track > MIDI
6. Choose the YAMAHA MM device
7. Set MIDI In To All MIDI Inputs
8. Set output to Yamaha MM (Scarlett 18i8 USB)
9. Make a MIDI recording. Just like in Greg’s video, we can see the MIDI in Cubase but cannot hear it.
10. Go to Studio > Audio Connections
11. Go to the External instruments tab
12. Click Add External Instrument
13. Click Associate MIDI device and choose the Yamaha MM device
14. Click the triangle to the left of Yamaha MM device to display the output choices
15. Click the triangle to the left of Return Bus 1
16. In the positions where Not Connected is displayed, select the Scarlett 18i8 input ports where the audio will be presented. In my system this is 18i8 port 7 and 8.
17. Immediately the warning appears.
This is the oh oh moment for me. Continue or not . . . that is the question.
