Hi all, I'm not sure if anybody can help. I've had a quick look to try and find a similar post, but cannot find anything that exactly relates to my query. I have a Privia PX-700, it has a 5 pin MIDI in and out. I want to play Sax using the keyboard so I bought a MIDI to USB cable and connected a USB cable to a Macbook (old one) and hooked the MIDI's up correctly. I can play the Sax through Garageband using the Privia keyboard as a controler and I can hear the sound through the very tinny sounding Mac speakers. This isn't really what I want. I would love to be able to hear the sound through the speakers of the Privia keyboard. The black "in" MIDI cable doesn't really seam to do anything when connected, i.e when I take it out and just leave the red in cable, you can play the sax via the keyboard and it plays through the mac. To clarify, the lead I bought is all joined together, so theres a box part with lights on that flashes blue when MIDI is played and a red light that says there's power. Both the MIDI cables go into this and the other end has the USB cable I'm plugging into my MAC. I bought a separate lead which was just a 5 pin MIDI plug and stereo jack and connected that to the headphone jack of the Macbook and the other end into the MIDI in of the keyboard in an attempt to get the sound to come out of the Privia speakers whilst I played the Keyboard using Sax instrument through Garageband. Nothing happened. Turning off local control didn't help either and neither did going through the 16 MIDI channels of the Privia (which I think are for output rather than input anyway) Is there anyway to play the sound I am playing via the keyboard and Garageband but to get it to come out of the speakers of the Privia? I suspect not, but I am wondering why the MIDI in doesn't seem to work in this respect. If anyway can help or make any other suggestions I would be very grateful. Thanks for reading this Richard
