Usb Midi Interface Trouble Options

[loyalobjector]

I want to use our Yamaha Clavinova CLP-970A and a UX16 USB Yamaha MIDI interface to record keyboard tracks.I have a G5 iMac with garageband 2.02 and run OS X10.3.9.

Under the Audio MIDI Setup the device is recognized and the settings read as Also on the Clavinova I have the Host Select set to MIDI and the LED read out lists: MIDIOutChannel(directly under that)Main (and across from "Main") Ch1

In technical information for the UX16 it says that the device is compatiable with OS X 10.1.2 through 10.2.6 so that could be the problem. The Yamaha website offers a patch as an update but does not state the date the update was created or the compatibility of the patch.

Is this just a bad interface? Does someone have a much easier solution to this problem?

I want to burn CD's of the music my teenagers are playing on the clavinova. I would also like to be able to add a vocal track and a cello track. If there is a much better and easier way of going about this please tell me, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!
