I downloaded a midi file to a "Logic" sequencing program in order to make a CD. The problem was that when we tried to transmit the file from the computer, there was no sound. This is after I connected the midi cables carefully and checked the back of the computer, made sure the "ALL PARTS" was set in the MIDI section of my keyboard for transmitting and receiving midi data from the computer, and that the volumn was up and audio cables connected!
SO, DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THERE WAS NO SOUND TRANSMITTING. (when we hooked up another keyboard, that worked).

THANKS!!!!-WAITING EAGERLY FOR HELP!!!

While I'm not familiar with the particular program you made reference to, in most instances you must provide both the computer and keyboard with the correct information as to the transmit and recieve midi channels as well as the type of midi device.

If you have saved all the data on your keybaord to a floppy disk, I would then try a factory reset of the keyboard to the default settings, then try running the midi file through the program again.

Hope this was of some help,

Gary

Is the "host" switch in the right place?
Does the midi file use the Yamaha standard of bank switching (i.e. both controllers 0 and 32)?
Is there any non-Yamaha system exclusive data being sent?
Does the Yam playback the same midi file from a floppy?
Does the Yam work with other midi files?
If you create a song from scratch in Logic does this playback on the Yam?

Is that enought to be going on with?!?!?!?!
