i have a little problem! the midi playback won't work. i have a yamaha dgx-505, i'm connected thru usb to the computer. now i installed the usb driver which came with the keyboard, but still nothing. maybe i'm doing something wrong. can somebody help me? my exact problem is, that i can't playback the samples on my keyboard. for example the vst instruments in cubase sx, or i can't record anything in reason either. it just won't work. can somebody help? how to set up midi devices in cubase sx 2 and reason 2? or how to set up this whole thing! so that i can playback those things, and record them.
if somebody has the same equipment, then maybe he or she can help me!
thanks for your help in advance!!!
peace!

I don't know anything about Cubase, but have you gone into Reason and selected your keyboard as your midi input device? If you can't figure out how to do this, I'll help you, but it's pretty easy if you search through the pull down menus.

Looking at some info on your keyboard, I see this mentioned:

"MIDI: USB Slave"

Does anyone know what this means?

Ya, it can slave its rythm section to midi timing coming from a recording application via USB.

But ya, coolo has it right. You simply need to go to your options section in Cubase and make sure the driver is selected as the midi in and out port. Then just select that drive port as either the input port for your VSTi's or the output port to control the sounds on the keyboard from a recorded midi track.

Never feel stupid. Sometimes it takes the asking to get the brain working. And its also easier sometimes to aks the question rather then sit for hours on end twiddling about and not finding it.
