Display Name Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi and welcome to the Casio Forums. Not sure what happened with your OS update - the Casios are "class compliant" and will automatically work when plugged into a computer. Have you checked the Apple forums and see if others are having MIDI issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- T - Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nitish Do a Bing or Google search on "usb midi problems with osx el capitan" and take your pick as to where you want to start reading - USB-Audio problems, USB-MIDI problems, internal (non-USB) audio problems, software programs that worked fine under Yosemite no longer working under El Capitan (primarily VSTi plug-ins). It looks like Apple didn't do their homework very well on this one. In your case, I would say your problem is more likely with your operating system than with your PX-160, so I agree with Scott. You would probably get a much quicker, and more thorough answer over on the Apple support forums. Here is a good thread to start with: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7253452?start=0&tstart=0 Most of the references are to USB-Audio DAC problems, but there are also several references to rechecking MIDI settings, so they are apparently having some USB-MIDI problems as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Have you tried MIDI Monitor? That will tell you if your Mac is seeing the MIDI from the PX-160 at least. Let us know what that tells you. http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyrd Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I also have a question about using the Privia PX-160 as MIDI controller. I'm trying to run it through garageband on my macbook to lay a drum track, but the only thing it will let me do is pull recordings from the keyboard. for some reason I can't use the keyboard as an actual MIDI controller I'm not sure if I'm missing a step or if it just doesnt work like that, so any information is helpful.
