 Connect Yamaha keyboard to Reason Here's the situation, I have a Yamaha DGX-300, and I have a Midi-USB cable. I've connected it directly to my computer and my computer seems to recognize it. But how do I get it to work with Reason? Are there some settings that need tweaking there? Please any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.  |

Open up Reason > Edit > Preferences > "Choose from dropdown-menu : Keyboards and Control surfaces" > "Press Add" > Choose from dropdown-menu : "Other" > Right underneath the frirst dropdown- menu choose : "Midi Keyboard ( No controls) " ... Then press "Find" , and press a key on your Yamaha ... , this will let Reason find the right midi-channel for it ... Then press OK ... It should be working right now ... Greetzzzzzzzzzzz and good luck ! Remy aka IGNORED

I'm stuck on the step where I click "Find". After I click "Find", I tried pressing the keys on my Yamaha DGX300, but nothing happens. Any idea why? Maybe I have the wrong driver or something? Also, I plug the midi In into the midi Out and vice versa right? Thanks for helping!

Hi lily , i did some research on your Keyboard .. , also google came up with a thread on this forum : http://www.reasonforum.com/reason/15...hase-pics.html Notting much said overhere though ... Anyhow , im looking further into it ... , just let us know when you got it working  (Aint got much time atm , so i need to get back into it this evening ...

Got another question about the cable you got ... In case you got the UX16 midi-usb cable , you need to install drivers for it ... Can be found overhere : http://www.yamahasynth.com/downloads...aces/ux16/all/ I do hope it will solve it for you ... Greetz and good luck ! Remy aka IGNORED

Hey SCEZ, I have something like the UX16, it's a cheaper version I bought on Ebay. I tried installing the UX16 driver but it doesn't work. It says "Error 25001. No Device is connected". So I don't know what's wrong. When I first connected the device Windows helped me install a driver for it and it says the hardware is working properly. Do I have to change any settings in Reason, something to do with Hosts? Thanks for helping.

Where would I find it? The Midi-USB cable I have doesn't really have a brand name. Plus on the description page on Ebay it says that it comes with a built-in driver. Unfortunately, I can't post the link to it yet because I don't have enough posts. But if you go to Ebay and search "usb midi interface" you'll see it. It's the black one with a treble clef in the middle. If it is a driver problem, please tell me what to look for because I have no idea. Thanks |

Well , i took a look on E-Bay ... , seen the cable you are talking about ... you were right about the fact it doesnt need drivers  , and to be honest , i don't really have a clue so far ... due to the fact i never worked with such cables ... , but i guess it has to be something simple ... , Does these led's light up like hows its been described on E Bay ? ( LED's indicate power on, MIDI in signal and MIDI out signal. ) , if they aren't , then something aint right .... , wigle the cables a bit on the back of the keyboard , cos i know that these MIDI plugs loose contact easy ... ( Had my old keyboard midiplug tightly taped  )If nothing on the above worked , try switching the MIDI-in and MIDI-out .... perhaps you mistaked ? , or me ... Well , ... Im empty with possibily's now ... , hope anyone else got some bright idea's for you ?
