Hi All!
I am trying to connect my Roland Fantom-s88 to my Mac via a Mio Midi to USB cable. My Mio is showing up in my Mac's midi setup, but I cannot get my Fantom to play sounds in my computer. I have scoured the internet, called Roland (they said "it should work") - but I can't get it to play. Can SOMEONE help me figure out what is going on? I've tried playing it through Ableton, MainStage, and Garageband, and nothing is coming through.
On the keyboard, I've set the Local Switch setting to "off" and went into Performance Mode and selected PRST: 01 Seq Template. My midi cables are in>out and out>in. I'm at a total loss! Help! Is this keyboard just too old to work with a DAW? Am I missing something? The keyboard has never been updated - I ordered a SmartMedia card to do so hoping that doing a system update will help, but that will happen tomorrow. This was supposed to be a 5 minute job and it's now taken up most of my week! So frustrating! Any ideas?
