Topic: Pianoteq with Focusrite 24 DSP and OSX
Hello everybody,
This is my first post here
I am thinking of downloading a trial version and test Standard Pianoteq a little bit but I have a problem with connections.
My current configuration:
- computer: OSX on MacBook Pro
- audio interface: Focusrite Saffire 24 DSP with old MIDI In/Out and FireWire connection to computer
- digital piano with MIDI keyboard via USB
- digital audio workstation on OSX: Reaper
I am planning to use more MIDI devices later on. I would like to use the Pianoteq with connection of a DP to the audio interface but I am not sure how to configure everything with the computer. I have never done it before! My guess is I would need to connect a piano to the audio interface, the audio interface to the computer. I believe signal would be send back to AI and I can then connect audio signal from the AI back to the DP via Line Out/in and listen to everything on DP.
First, do you think this would work?
Second, piano uses USB MIDI whereas the audio interface has an old MIDI In/Out. What adapter would you recommend? Shall I connect both MIDI In/Out using the same USB cable?
Thanks.
