i have an ibook running OSX and i downloaded protools free. protools only runs in OS9 though. regardless, i would like to be able to record drumtracks from my roland TR505 with my m-audio Uno 1X1 USB MIDI interface in protools. it seems as though protools doesn't recognize the USB interface. do i need a driver or something? what am i missing?
thanks. |

first... I might suggest reading my article on midi The World Of Midi
This may explain a few things for you such as the fact that midi by itself can not produce any sound unless it is routed to a sound generator of some type (sampler or synth whether hardware or software). So yes... using your TR505 with midi going into mac... you can record midi and program midi but... unless you have the midi routed to a synth plugin or sampler plugin... then midi produces no sound. So you might consider Sample Cell, SampleTank, Absynth and the list goes on. You might want to consider getting a better sequencing app though nad if you odn't want to spend lots of $$$... look into something like the Logic Big Box that comes with a couple synth plugs and a sample player for about $300 or less.
