(The converter's instructions said to set the software's preferences to use the converter's built-in driver.)

Changing Garageband's Preferences to 'Built-in' input and output, rather than 'System Setting'.

Likewise 'OUT' referred to the signal going out of the computer, 'IN' tothe keyboard.) Thus 'IN' refers to the signal going into the computer, i.e. Apparently the MIDI-to-USB cables were marked relative to the computer, not the electronic keyboard. So I put the cable marked 'IN' where the piano had 'IN'. (I had mistakenly treated it like the colored audio-visual cables on the back of a television, i.e.

Reading the instructions for my MIDI-to-USB converter: The lead marked 'IN' goes in the piano's 'OUT', and the lead marked 'OUT' goes in the piano's 'IN'.

I was able to solve my problem some time after posting by taking the following actions: Yes, I realized it was incorrect thank you for this notice. Is CASIO saying on this webpage that their products are not compatible with this OS X Yosemite? Is this why it's not working? What is the problem?

But is it not true that Garageband saying 'MIDI Status: 1 MIDI Input(s) detected' means the driver is already installed, as in plug-and-play? However, looking for drivers, it appears there are none relevant to me, and that they are all for Windows.

CTK 551 CASIO MIDI DRIVER MANUAL

First I find the CTK-451 Manual although this model is CTK-541, it's not listed, and the MIDI section's figures appear to match this keyboard. However, below it says 'My instrument is connected with: Built-in Input' and 'I hear sound from: Built-in Output' I click the right arrow beside these statements to open the Preferences window, but this Preferences window says 'System Setting' instead of those Built-in options.ДЄpple suggests installing drivers. I choose Input 1 + 2 assuming it matches the Audio MIDI Setup description of this CASIO keyboard.

There is ambiguity before proceeding: Input is listed as 'No Input', 'Input 1', 'Input 2', 'Input 1 + 2'.

I select the option 'Record using a microphone or line input.' because I'm assuming that's how I make use of the cables ('lines') coming from this MIDI keyboard.

However, when I create a new track in GarageBand (if that's the right word for it - a Classical Guitar voice element to receive input from my CASIO MIDI keyboard): within the Audio/MIDI tab, 'MIDI Status: 1 MIDI Input(s) detected' There is one down and up triangle under the number '1' and one down triangle under the number '2', which may or may not correspond to the Input 1 and Input 2 listed in Garageband (see below). Clicking 'Test Setup' only changes the button's color from blue to white and back clicking the individual arrows within the MIDI Studio's block icon results in the two 'down' arrows pointing away from it to flash blue the one 'up' arrow pointing towards the device doesn't flash.

In Audio MIDI Setup's MIDI Studio it shows a 'USB2.0-MIDI', although the test results are incomprehensible - it could be working or not.

CTK 551 CASIO MIDI DRIVER SOFTWARE

There is nothing in Apple's documentation about actually using the MIDI input keyboard in the software once it's connected (at least after >30 minutes of looking for help).

By all appearances, it appears the driver is already installed automatically, a plug-and-play matter, and that I should just hit 'record' and start playing, since: I cannot figure out why my MIDI keyboard is not working, and Apple's Help menus and software are useless in identifying the problem. How do I use a CASIO CTK-541 keyboard to input notes into Garageband 10.0.3 within OS X Yosemite 10.10.2?
