harding.
post a pic somewhere of your driver set up
in ptw preferences.
also post a pic of available drivers.
have you selected midi in/out drivers ??
i assume the trak your trying to record to is set as a midi trak.
there are several aspects to be aware of ..
choosing the right drivers in prefs.
on the yamaha itself..what midi channel is it sending on. ??
(i dont use a yammie myself but ive heard psr's can be finicky to set up).
for example if the yammie is sending on midi ch 1.
try setting the midi channel on the trak your recording to as 1.
drums are normally on ch 10.

an added note.
384 of ram might not be sufficient. youll need to run tests.
cos xp itself needs ram.
you might be fine useing just midi traks driving out to external midi modules..
but if you anticipate useing various plug ins and lots of audio traks etc etc,
you might want to think bout adding more ram.

normally for a daw i recommend two drives.
one for OS and one to record to.
plus 2 gigs of ram is healthy.
but monitor the situation as you progress useing your sempron.
i once had a sempron a few years back, and when i went dual core
my life became easier.

a question..in any song of yours what are the max no of midi n audio traks you would run,
and max no of plug ins ?? your answert to that will dictate
the type of pc needed.
in summary give more details on your needs also.
