Hi,
I'm trying to connect these to my iMac GarageBand:
Roland PC-200 mk2 MIDI controller Keyboard (1x MIDI OUT) 5-pin
Korg X5DR Midi Sound Processing Unit (3 x Midi: IN + OUT + THRU) 5-pin
I can play via headphones if I connect Keyboard OUT to Korg IN.
But I'm finding it so hard to get it connected to my iMac.
I have a 5-pin Midi to USB converter. BUT it has TWO midi sockets going into the USB.
it has a MIDI IN and OUT.
I've tried so many combinations, but to no avail.
should the keyboard connect to the Korg and then the Korg connects to the iMac ?
or, should the keyboard and Korg be connected to the iMac independently?
This is what I logically imagined:
the midi to usb converter connects to the IN + OUT of the korg? and then the keyboard connects to the korg THRU ?
or does the keyboard connect to the korg THRU ?
I also have a Behringer Audio Interface for the MIcrophone and Guitar (which is fine), but the Behringer Audio interface does not have MIDI.
I would greatly appreciate any input as this is so frustrating for me.
Many thanks
