I did this thinking I could bypass the 224 altogether. It is the 8pin tohost to 9pin connection. Now I just got another cable now for the P80. I use a yamaha MW8cx board to put mics and instruments into the studio. Yea I have the 224 working in cubase as a midi control surface already. My recollection is that the US-122 worked better when used with a powered USB hub. (I learned this by trying to use it as a stand-alone preamp/mixer without plugging it into a computer, and found it was non-functional without the computer and driver working)ĭoes the Tascam unit come with a power supply, or is it "bus-powered" from the USB port? If the latter, try plugging it directly into the computer (without a hub), also try connecting it via a powered USB hub. In other words, if it's plugged into the USB port and may be giving you some indication that it's getting power, it will still be non-functional if the USB driver is not working correctly. IIRC, the US-122 would not be functional unless it was plugged into the computer AND the driver was properly installed AND working. It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure the MIDI IN light on the Tascam unit will flash whenever MIDI data is received.Īs you've described, connecting MIDI OUT on the keyboard to MIDI IN on the Tascam is the only cable you should need (apart from connecting the Tascam to the computer with a USB cable).
Your US-224 is probably similar in behavior. I've used a Tascam US-122 with a couple of different MIDI keyboards. Can someone please break this thing down to an elementary step by step process for me? Ive done a lot of recording with Cubase, but this is my first time trying to work with any kind of MIDI connections. This probably shouldn't be nearly as hard as I am making it out to be. Or would the device be the Tascam US-224 or 428 Emu? I don't see either of these devices listed. So I would have to "define new" and I don't even know how to begin there. There are tons of MIDI keyboards and probably two dozen Yamaha, but not the P80 listed. I'm pretty sure the US224 should light up as each key is pressed right? So what an I doing wrong? OK once I get that figured out, I need to install a MIDI device under the MIDI device manager. It flashes a light on the MIDI but still doesnt respond to any keys being pressed. Do I really just need the second MIDI cable connected? When I power up the P80. I have gone through the manual of the P80 trying to set the keyboard up correctly. I still can't get a signal to light on the Tascam midi indicator when I push a key on the P80. I have it set with the US-428 Emu on in the Midi under the Remote Devices. I only need it to trigger instruments installed in the Cubase.
I have tried going MIDI out of the Yamaha to MIDI in for the Tascam US-224. I am trying to get my Yamaha P80 Keyboard to work as MIDI triggers for Cubase 5.
