in the audio-midi utility, i believe there is a test mode to make sure midi is getting to the keyboard, and making it sound. its not extremely hard to do this, but there are a lot of little places it can go wrong. for example if you don't put the right port and midi channel, or set the hardware up to respond to midi - then it won't sound. i have also had bad midi cables so try swapping them out too. you just go through little tests and figure it out. its frustrating but eventually you will find it. its what we all go through. eventually you find the problem and you know next time. -----Original Message----- From: ruthsboy1 <ruthsboy1@...> To: Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 5:05 pm Subject: [Logic_Cafe] Re: I Can't Hear My Keyboard Ok I tried everything and I still get know sound from my keyboard --- In Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com, "ruthsboy1" <ruthsboy1@...> wrote: > > Thank you very much laurent, I'll give it a try. > > --- In Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com, Bvba Iceberg Productions- Laurent <lvee1@> wrote: > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I'm trying to use my Alesis QS6.1 Keyboards with logic 8.
