Hello,
I've got the following equipments: - an imac with Pro Tools Free and Logic AUdio running under OS 9.2.2, -a Yamaha DX7, - a Midisport UNO 1*1 Midi Interface - OMS 2.3.8 The Midi IN/OUT are OK but the issue is that I can't hear the DX7 on the Mac eventhought I connected its audio output to the audio input of the Mac? The audio output of the DX7 works perfectly when I connect it to my stereo so the problem must be related to the configuration of the sequencers (which is not so well explained in the manuals...). Thank in advance for your help! Bye, John |

hmmm,,, what i noticed was you didn't mention what you are using for an audio interface, My first guess is that you have some how used adapters to connect the 1/4" ouput of the DX-7 to your 1/8" mic input and I am pretty sure that won't work. That input was designed mainly to work with computer microphones which have different signal levels and such and they don't accept just any input. At least you will need something like the $40 imic interface to get the DX-7 sound into computer but I don't recommend it personally as I have seen many unhappy users. I suggest looking into some audio interfaces such as the Emi 2/6 or M-Audio interface or MBox.
