Not communicating... Hello my name is Collin Stoddard and I own a Midisport 2x2 (the little green one.) I am trying to connect it to my Yamaha disklavier and it has worked in past months, but now it's not working. I have MIDI cables going from MIDI out on the Yamaha, to the IN A port on the midisport box then attaching the USB cable. I have pushed the little black button on the box to activate the USB interface. I have the disklavier turned on and turned to MIDI mode, all of the channels coincide, and I just downloaded the newest driver for the 2x2. I'm trying to use it to communiate with Reason on my iBook G4. In my preferences window in Reason I have "midisport 2x2" selected as the driver, so I know it's reading it, it just won't send any signal. Any suggestions? Is this a midisport problem or a Yamaha piano problem, or a user error? thanks so much Collin Stoddard

It would help a lot if you had another Midi device to try. Then you could narrow down the problem.

Another thing to try is to download some simple piece of Midi software such as Bome's Mouse keyboard (free 30-day evaluation) and see if you can get that to work (using your mouse on the screen keyboard to trigger notes on your MIDI keyboard). You may get further clues by trying that.
