Hey guys,
I tried to play with my keyboard in REAPER, but it doesn´t work. Does anyone know how to assign an audio interface to the program? Cheers |

Is it a real keyboard or a midi controller?

QUOTE (skennington @ Jun 27 2009, 06:26 PM)  Are you trying to assign it as a controller or just wanting to record it's output? If your just wanting to record, the easiest way is to connect to your Toneport just like you would your guitar. Find the line out on the back of the board and plug directly into the Toneport. Open Pod Farm or Gearbox and find a clean pre-set, I use the studio vocals patch. Arm a track and hit record!  If your trying to use it as a controller, then that's another ball game. You will have to set up the transport between Reaper and the keyboard to communicate with one another. I actually want to use it as a keyboard that I can record and play with in the program. I link my Yamaha KX-25 via USB to my computer, so I can´t switch it to the UX1... QUOTE (Skalde @ Jun 28 2009, 11:42 AM) Is it a real keyboard or a midi controller? It´s this one: Yamaha KX-25. It can be a MIDI controller, but I have no MIDI cables and inputs. Instead, I connect it via USB. |

The question is, do you want to record the sounds from your Yamaha keyboard or VST sounds and trigger these sounds with the keyboard? |

I installed everything since the keyboard is working in Cubase. However, I prefer recording in REAPER at the moment.

I agree with Muris, Cubase is a lot better to work with Tolek. I suggest you try using it in couple of projects you will get used to it very quickly and never look back.
If you need any advices about Cubase, let us know, I will be glad to help. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
