musicsaul26 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 HI! I have the Privia PX-130 and I am trying to connect my keyboard to my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite. When I enter USB mode, a drive appears in my finder called "Piano" and holds three folders that include "MUSICLIB" "RECORDER" and "STATELOG". I want to use the program Synthesia with it, but the Synthesia program does not show my piano in the devices menu. I am unsure whether this is an issue with my Piano itself, my mac software, or the synthesia program and am seeking advice as to what steps I could take to find out which and solve the issue. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Brad Saucier Posted November 11, 2015 Solution Share Posted November 11, 2015 The PX-130 has two usb modes, storage and midi. You will need to make sure it is in midi mode for use as a controller. See step 2....this page: http://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/008/PX130_EN.pdf#page=27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicsaul26 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thank you Brad! The trouble was, when I plugged my usb in, I thought I needed to function USB mode to get it to connect. Turns out it naturally connects in MIDI mode without touching anything . I didn't know because it doesn't appear on my computer anywhere, but it showed in Synthesia! Best Wishes and Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
