No sound for midi in Logic Pro X

I have my Roland A-500 Pro hooked up by USB to Logic Pro X. I can hear it as a software instrument, but when I try use it as an external midi track, I can see the keys working, but I hear no sound. BTW, I can hear sound out of Garageband as a Midi track. I have installed the latest drivers.


CAn someone help me to hear the sound?


I've been researching the internet, and every "solution" hasn't worked.

I may be missing something, but isn't your Roland a MIDI controller? In other words, it has no built-in sounds. It simply drives software instruments inserted on a MIDI track, but cannot supply sounds that it doesn't have. MIDI itself has no sound.


You could use the external MIDI track if you had an external synthesizer or sound module because they have built-in sounds.


I hope this helps.
