Help with Connecting to computer using USB to USB

Post by tjf_inc »

Hi,

i just bought my RD700GX last week. I tried connecting the Keyboard to the Computer but its not working.

Im using a standard USB to USB (Male to Male), plugged it in to the RD's USB Memory port. (I was advised that i could use this port to transmit midi too!)

I have installed SONAR LE which comes with the package.

I was also informed that there is a setup in RD that needs to be changed

Hope you can help me out on this. Thanks!

Who is that smart guy who told you you can use the memory port? This port is a USB host port, and your computer is a USB host too. The 700GX expects a USB slave device there, namely a USB flash drive. You need to connect your computer to the dedicated USB MIDI port.

Goodness! the sales person!

Thanks a lot for enlightening me Artemiy! Well, luckiliy i found the right usb cable, (one thats used for printers).. I tried connecting it and finally detected.

I have a problem though, I'm a newbie with these things.

i wanted to record what im playing in RD but i dont know how

I opened SONAR LE,
Selected "Create New Project"

i tried pressing the keys but nothing happens

Also tried loading a demo but i couldnt hear anything

Maybe something else needs to be done?
