Re: [disklavier] Yamaha DGT7A and Garage Band

2009-01-15 by George F. Litterst

Good afternoon, everyone.

GarageBand does not natively play MIDI back using external MIDI  
devices (like your the Disklavier). Instead, it directs the MIDI data  
to internal sounds that come with the program.

However, you can try this 3rd party plugin that purports to send MIDI  
externally:
