Midi Files For Yamaha Keyboard
Hello everyone, I want to transfer some MIDI files from my PC to the internal memory of my Yamaha EZ-200 keyboard, in order to learn to play those pieces using the keyboard's Learning Mode. I connected the keyboard to my PC using a USB-MIDI cable, following the in-to-out out-to-in convention for the MIDI ports.
Midi Cables For Keyboards
The settings of Yamaha 'MusicSoft Downloader' (the software used to copy files from a PC to a Yamaha keyboard) displays the connection as a 'USB Audio Device', however I cannot browse the keyboard's internal memory in order to copy MIDI files over. This is without having installed any drivers yet, and without Windows prompting me to install anything upon connecting the keyboard to the PC. I then downloaded and installed the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver (however it says that no keyboard is connected. This driver is, however, meant to be used with a different cable than mine (although the two cables seem to be essentially the same (1 USB port to 2 MIDI ports). Was anyone able to make such a connection to an older keyboard? I am wondering whether getting this Yamaha 'UX16 USB-MIDI Interface' cable would enable the software to access my keyboard's internal memory. I know the EZ200 *is* capable of having files copied to it, because it appears in MusicSoft Downloader's list of models!
On the other hand, though, the keyboard appears to not have an internal memory, as there is no Record feature on it. Any help with this would be tremendously appreciated!
