A friend of mine is having some trouble getting it to work. He has a Roland D-50 connected to a MOTU MIDI controller, which is connected to a G5 (powerful system, quad 2.5 Ghz, 2.5 gigs RAM) via MIDI and firewire. He can compose and get midi music when he composes in
Garageband, but while he gets visual feedback from his Roland (when he plays a note on the keyboard, a window displaces what key is depressed), he gets no sound, unless he clicks on MIDI Click, which plays sounds directly from the keyboard. We tried setting one of the tracks (in this case, a grand piano) to the "Record" setting, but still no sound. However, when we imported a song he composed in Garageband, we were able to get midi sounds from the keyboard, which corresponded to what he set up in Garageband. I tried looking through the manual, but being a music newbie, I couldn't make head or tail of the the terminology. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
