connect midi keyboard to macbook pro logic x

Although I've only had the MBP a few days, so far, most things are working just fine through Rosetta2 (I was surprised). I have heard that bluetooth midi works, albeit with some latency, and someone else chimed in that an iConnectivity MIOxc (a simple DIN to USB cable) works, so I've ordered one and should have it in a day or so.I'll try it both directly in the MBP's USB-C port and if that works, then I'll try the hub.įYI. It appears from my investigations that the M1 has an issue with many midi interfaces (for instance no MOTU interfaces work), so it's not just a PT problem. I also tried the USB midi port on my Apogee Duet (which is working fine for audio on the M1 with PT). Just no input.įor the midi interface, it's been direct USB to USB on both keyboards, although I've been using an Insignia USB C hub which has USB A ports as well as HDMI, etc. I set up an instrument track running an instance of Expand2, which plays back sound when I manually enter midi notes on the track. I tried adding a new midi instrument to the setup, but when testing, it didn't register. Neither midi keyboard shows up in audio/midi setup. Anyone have a similar situation and resolved it?

I'll even buy a new midi keyboard if there's one that works.but it's probably just something stupid I forgot. If anyone has a working midi keyboard with a MacBook Pro M1, let me know. It must be something stupid I'm missing because I can't believe that after six months, the new M1 Macs can't receive midi. When I manually create midi notes on a VI, it produces sound from the track. Protools seems to be working ok and I even have some 3rd party VIs and plugins running such as Spectrasonics, Toontrack EZ line, and Guitar Rig 5. It's like the MBP just doesn't see any midi. I can't find the keyboards in the Audio/Midi setup either. However, neither seem to be recognized by the new computer (I just dowloaded the latest BigSur compatible version of PT. I just got a new MBP M1, as my ancient 2009 MacPro was starting to get weird disk errors and couldn't be upgraded any more so I couldn't even upgrade Protools.įor midi input, I have both an M-Audio Ozone and a Yamaha MOX8 that worked well with my Intel/MacPro and Protools. I wasn't sure where to put this question.
