I have been trying to hook my Yamaha digital keyboard (YPG-235) up to my computer (Dell desktop, Windows7-64bit with realtek audio) in order to record music from it. I downloaded the USB-MIDI driver for the YPG-235 from Yamaha and installed it. The driver is listed under Hardware and Sound in the Control Panel and the keyboard itself is listed as Yamaha Portable G under devices. The Properties section of the Device Manager says that both are working properly. However neither of them show up as recording choices in Recording under Sound in the Control Panel.

The MIDI does not show up as a device choice in Audacity (the music editing program) either. Can't record from it, if you can't choose it as an input device. What have I tried so far: * Reinstalling USB-MIDI driver (many times). Turning everything off and back on in every possible configuration. * Went to Control Panel, Sound, Recording and selected Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices. The only things listed under recording are: FrontMic (Realtek...), Microphone (Realtek...), Line In (Realtek...

), and Stereo Mix (Realtek) Does anyone know what to do? I thought of buying an Interface ($ 100.00), but am afraid that it will have the same problem.

Yamaha YPG-525, -625, DGX-620, -520 as MIDI input device? Applet for the USB MIDI driver? Re: Yamaha YPG-525, -625, DGX-620.

If I need to change anything on an.exe file, or do anything at all with code please give really specific instructions--I'm not that computer savvy and don't even know how to find things in the library's yet--they are very confusing. Several questions, several replies plus a quick intro about MIDI. Your keyboard sends MIDI data, which is a series of '0's and '1's, notmusic. You need something to 'translate' that data into music. The software on the accompanying CD probably neeeds to be installed to do that. The supplied software may also be able to record midi, I don't know, I don't have it and the manual isn't too explicit. You could always use a DAW to do that - Sonar (expensive), Reaper (cheap) etc.

They have 'soft-synths' which can interpret the data from your keyboard and make audio out of it. In Windows, there is MS GM Wavetable (or something similar) built in, but the latency is terrible and its not very good. Download and try Reaper (its basically 'free' once you get past the nag screen).

Then select a midi track and insert a soft-synth (if it doesn't have any, download a VST from a website). Audacity cannot record MIDI data, only Audio. Drama Serial Dil Diya Dehleez Episode 87.

As your keyboard doesn't appear to have any line out jacks you can't connect it to a line in of your sound device, so you're stuck. Your MIDI device won't show up as a recording device - it can't as there is no audio coming out of it.

You can record on your keyboard and then transfer the MIDI file to your PC. You could buy an interface (Edirol SD20 Sound Canvas for example) which acts as 'qound producer' for a keyboard. Here, as an example, is my set up: I use a PCR-M30 via a USB into the PC, and can play it through the SD20, also connected by USB.

Sonar (my DAW) recognises both, and I can record MIDI tracks within it, either using the SD20 sounds, or a soft-synth supplied by Sonar. I also have a light-pipe line-out (digital) from the SD20 to my sound device (in otherwords audio to audio), so can also route that way into the Sonar, recording on an Audio track. Hope the above helps. The most economic solution is for you to try out Reaper, if you like it, buy it. You can add/download different soft-synths from the web to create your music.

Then when you become more proficient, you can buy a real DAW like Sonar and publish your tunes!!! Re-post if not clear, I've rambled on a bit. Cheers, Jerry BTW, don't bother to continually install/un-install your drivers etc. No point as you can't do what you want with what you currently have (unless the accompanying software can help you out). Ohmigod I lost my star:-(((.

Hi Flashnewbie, Try these steps. Step 1 Uninstall the existing realtek drivers and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website. Click start, type “devmgmt.msc” in the start search box and press enter. Right click the driver and select “uninstall” C.

Make sure you check the check the box for “Delete the driver software for this device”, click OK D. Download and install the latest drivers. Step 2 Check if the cables are connected properly. Open the below link and verify the connections. For your reference: Bindu R - Microsoft Support.
