Topic: New user: Using a Yamaha P-125 with Pianoteq

Hello everyone,

I have just discovered Pianoteq, hoping to use it with my current P-125 instead of having to upgrade my physical keyboard. I like the P-125's combination of 88 keys, reasonable keybed and most importantly, low weight.

I am trying to get the trial version of Pianoteq to work with my Windows 10 PC. I have installed the Steinberg/ASIO driver.

The communication from PC to keyboard seems to work. I am able to select various instruments on the Pianoteq interface and they playback perfectly on the keyboard's internal speakers using Pianoteq's virtual keyboard.

However, I can't get the inverse to work. When I play notes on the keyboard, I hear the sounds locally generated by the keyboard on its speakers, but I hear nothing on the PC's speakers and the selected instrument on Pianoteq does not sound on the keyboard's speaker. I don't know if the sounds should be audible on  the PC's speakers.

I then found this post here on the forum, and disabled the keyboard's Local Control using the METRONOME-RHYTHM-C5 combination

When I disable the locally-generated sounds, I hear nothing on neither the PC's or keyboard's speakers.

I've checked the keyboard's manual, and I don't know if I need to adjust anything on the keyboard. I've checked the MIDI settings on the Pianoteq side, and I don't know if I need to adjust anything there.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

I found the solution here

"...setting 'Active MIDI inputs' to 'Listen to all MIDI inputs"

I watch some of the introductory tutorials by Hugh Sung, and this wasn't mentioned.

Please you got it sorted,
