Who and why I'm here.
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 2:31 pm
I am a 77 year old male, suffering from the effects of extreme lock down and have recovered my Yamaha PSR2000 from the Garage.
I have a Toshiba laptop which is now connected with an OTRAKI midi connector directly to my laptop. (newly purchased)
My main and initial goal was to find a way of adding styles to my keyboard to develop both the range of the keyboard, and by exploring the digital sound creator I have been trying to mimic some of the later keyboard models to get a better and more fuller sound experience.
I have modified the keyboard to use a usb emulator which is working fine.
I have downloaded a number of different software options which include QJackCtl, Yoshimi, Rosegarden, Ardour, Audacity and Yamaha's Musicsoft to try to get the computer connected correctly to the keyboard. The first goal to get more styles is not yet close, as I cannot get the connection required by MusicSoft.
Being unsuccessful I am now simply trying to record to my computer using Midi. I have got close a few times but I have not discovered which set of settings were successful. The sound reproduction was also very bad. Any help with either software options and/or settings would be much appreciated.
My Christian name is David if anyone would like to suggest my options. Thank you very much.
