Zipp Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hey everyone. I'm using a Yamaha Dgx220, and I'm on a Mac running OSX. I'll need a USB-Midi driver to pull songs onto my computer (so I can finally submit them!). Anyone know where I can find the appropriate driver? I should be able to download it somewhere, right? I'm not very good with computers, so any help would be highly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceX Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 You really should be looking at www.yamaha.com (US site) for that. They will most likely have the latest drivers for both Windowns and Macintosh. Or are you looking for a piece of software to make things? In that case, for mac, GarageBand sounds like an idea.

Looking for both, and on your reccomendation, found both. Now just hope they work. I've got a Max Payne remix to add to the site if they do...

Zipp Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Wait... do I need to buy Garage band or is there somewhere I can download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipp Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 I thought it came with OSX? That's what I thought, but I don't have it. But then, I got OSX a couple years ago. Maybe GB wasn't out yet or they weren't bundling it? Oh, or maybe it's on one of my startup discs... I'll have to find those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgfoo Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 How old is your Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 How old is your Mac? My Mac is about 6 or 7 years old, I put OS X on it a couple years ago. Sadly, I don't have OS9 classic, so all my games don't work... ... but that's beside the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgfoo Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 If you're Mac is that old then it wouldn't have come with Garageband. You'd have to buy iLife to get Garageband because it's only a few years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Max Payne remix to add to the site if they do... did you get your dgx220 to work with the Mac? i'm trying to hook it up but the mac simply doesn't see it. tried looking for drivers, but couldn't find them on yamaha's web-site (and it'd be odd for a mac to require a driver for something like that, i think, but anyway) is there anything I need to "switch on" on the piano itself to enable sending sound to a computer?

Synth Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hey everyone. I'm using a Yamaha Dgx220, and I'm on a Mac running OSX.

I'm not very good with computers, so any help would be highly appreciated! When you say "pull songs onto my computer" you want to transfer the songs you wrote on the DGX onto your computer correct? I own a DGX 202, and with mine that is not possible. And i'm pretty sure its not on yours. All the DGX can do within that area is transfer midi from your computer to the DGX. If thats what your talking about, this is the software you need..http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_europe/download/products/10_musical_instruments/portable_keyboards/portatone_psr_series/EZ_30/index.php?country=uk although, like I said, it probably will not work.
