MIDI-signal

I have a digital piano (Thomann) with a (so called) USB output. Please see added picture!

The connection to my MacBook shall be used by this item:

It's said by Thomann that if I play a tune on the piano there will be 'MIDI signals' into the MacBook. Do I dare to try that? Will there be a file generated?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Yamaha Midi driver with Macbook M1 (Apple Silicon) - Midi interface OK, Not recognizing Audio interface Hi, I've always used my Synth/Keyboard Yamaha MOX8 with Windows and I've never had problems to the Driver recognize the audio and/or midi interface. The Synth has internal audio interface. I just bought a MacBook with an M1 chip (Apple Silicon) and it's on macOS Monterey 12.4. I installed the latest version available from the Yamaha website: 1) Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver V3.1.1 for Mac macOS 11/12(Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2). https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver_for_mac.html 2) USB-MIDI Driver V1.5.0 for Mac macOS 12, 11 (Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2) https://br.yamaha.com/pt/support/updates/usb_midi_driver_for_mac.html When trying to use it with the keyboard, the MacBook is recognizing the midi interface (I can see it in the "Midi Studio" screen, but it does not recognize the audio interface, that means, I am able to control VST, exchange midi signals, but neither the operating system nor the DAW is recognizing the audio interface. Note 1: I already tested using the original keyboard cable + USB HUB, as well as I bought a new USB-B to USB-C cable, connecting directly to the Macbook and the result was the same. There was no difference. Note 2: In the installation guide of item 2, ask to confirm that the installation was successful if we have files in the folder: /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIDriver.plugin /Library/PreferencePanes/MIDI Drivers/YAMAHA-USBMIDIPatch.prefPane I checked and besides the installation report as successfully finished, the files are not in the folder.

Export to MIDI After all these years, garage band editor won't offer an option to export songs with only MIDI as .mid... Why not? It's a powerful editing tool, but one cannot transfer their work to an external keyboard for performance. I've seen the 22 step process to trick it into saving one track at a time, and it's ridiculous. I can understand if I use audio loops, that they won't convert to MIDI, but if I'm using MIDI loops... THEY'RE MIDI! Please give us a "save as" option for MIDIfiles.

inputting chord track from a midi region Has anyone figured out if there is a way to automatically input chord track progressions from a midi region with block chords. I know by setting internal midi in to a track and playing it back with midi in selected on the chord editor you can partially automate this but you have to keep hitting tab to advance to the next chord otherwise it just overwrites the current one. this is both time consuming and prone to error. Ideally (if you are listening, Apple) you could just play the midi region and it would place the chords automatically.

It's an audio device ... an electronic piano.

What specifically do you think the dare is?

There are many different types of USB ports:

I would imagine the question about a file's creation is in the device's accompanying literature. Or you might ask the maker, it is after all their product not an Apple device.
