MIDI Port 3, is for any external device connected to the MIDI jacks while you are setup for USB. MIDI Port 2, as we will discuss next, is for Remote Control functions. MIDI Port 1 – is always for musical performance events like note-ons, controllers, and tempo. Rather it reflects the current status of your MIDI Ports – whether they are in use or not: You do not make a setting in this column. The column labeled "STATE" is a status report of what is being used currently.

Port 3 is the so-called MIDI THRU port as any device connected will send its data through the MX directly to the computer via PORT 3. You then would mark "Yamaha MX49/MX61 Port 3". If you are using an alternate MIDI controller you can connect it to the MX via its 5-pin MIDI jack. This will make the MX the default input device for recording data to MIDI Tracks within Cubase. The column labeled "In 'All MIDI Inputs'" should have the "Yamaha MX49/MX61 Port 1" marked with an 'x'. Note: If you have not downloaded and installed your MX items yet or if you don't know what to download, please go to this article before proceeding here: Yamaha MX and Your Computer.ĭEVICES (called “Studio” in Cubase series 9) > DEVICE SETUP (called “Studio Setup” in Cubase series 9) > MIDI > MIDI PORT SETUP Shown, above, is the ASIO Driver select screen on a Mac OSX.

If you have multiple ASIO audio drivers installed on your computer, you may see a screen that allows you to select which driver you wish to use. Whether you have an MX49/MX6 BK/BU/WH or MX88, this article is for you. Need help setting up your Yamaha MX with Cubase on your Mac?
