In the past I used to play midi with the performance playing through the Tyros speakers but could never seem to get satisfaction trying to play the realtracks and drums. (lock ups etc.)

What cabling is required from PC to tyros apart from the host cable at present installed?

BTW w7 is 64 bit any problem?



I'm thinking you should be able to get this going.

As far as the audio part goes, just run some audio cables from your sound card to the aux inputs on your Tyros. Playback from most computer audio cards isn't that bad, it's the inputs that suffer a little.

As far as midi goes, your usb connection should work for that. Download the MEGAEnhancer V1.3.2 for Win (XP 32-bit / Vista 32-bit / Win7 32-bit, 64-bit) and see if you can get it going.

Post back with any problems and we'll try to help search out an answer for you.

Also, just in case you didn't know, Sampletank free comes with biab2013. It's identical to the paid version except for the sound libraries. Also, eSoundz has Omnisynth 2 (gm set for Sampletank) on sale for $10. I have Omnisynth 2, and it's easily on par with the gm set in your Tyros. It's gm except for channel 10 drums. I usually just use realdrums, or manually load drums in Sampletank.

The reason I like to have a soft synth in biab is for rendering. If you use midi to an outboard device you have to play the song through, recording the audio as it plays. With a soft synth it renders the file at high speed without playback.

Edit: I see Mac posted while I was typing this. :>) I'm slow.
I also wanted to add a reminder that you're not stuck with just the gm set in your Tyros, as you can use any voice in it. Just use the gm set to get the arrangement going, then manually set a better voice for recording. So you really don't need a soft synth unless you'd just like one for the convenience.
