I have a Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard, is there a way I can use it with the hardware or sample from it using the software?

I looked up the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard on the Yamaha site to see what kind of connectivity it has. The short answer is yes, it's possible for you to record your Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard output into Maschine. If you have a soundcard with inputs, then this will help as you'd run the 1/8" headphone jack out of the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard to an RCA or 1/4" input to the Soundcard. Then in Maschine, go to the Record window and set up your input to be the same input that the soundcard is receiving the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard. From there, record into Maschine. If you don't have a soundcard, you could also probably run the 1/8" headphones output of the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard to the Mic 1/8" input of your computer and route it that way into Maschine. Another way that this might be possible, but I'm not sure, because I'm not sure of the functionality of the USB cable from the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard, would be to export the arrangement or samples created within the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard and then just import them back into Maschine via dropping them on open Sound pads for playback. Either way, you should have an option to make it work if you just working with Maschine. Of course, if you're using something like Live, Pro Tools, or Logic, you can always do the same thing discussed above and record into your DAW first and export back out into Maschine. Hope that makes sense. Shoot me any questions if you have any. Enrique's answer is correct in regards to using your hardware as a Midi controller to control the Keyboard option within Maschine. You won't be able to do that unless that USB cable doubles as Midi support, which in this case, I don't think it does but look it up because I might be wrong. You'd only be able to use the Yamaha PSR-E403 keyboard for outputing sounds into Maschine. Get a MIDI keyboard for controlling within Maschine. www.sylencemusic.com

If it connects via a 1/4" or 1/8" stereo jack then you will need a audio interface with those connections. The komplete audio 6 has everything you would need. And it's a native instruments interface

Yes you can. Both actually. If it connects via midi you can hook it right into the maschine. If it connects via USB then just plug it into your computer and the software will pick it up. Just go to audio and midi settings and make sure your keyboards input is turned on.

If it isn't a midi keybored then no. But I recommend the machine mk2 it is awsome. If you get a midi keybored it is very easy to setup.if you need help u can ask me

Yes yes yes! If (and that's a big if) you plan on sampling or you also own a USB keyboard. This is what I do; I integrate my work flow with logic pro X (although you can use machines software alone ). It does come with maschine 1.8. It is NOT a standalone maschine. You must connect it to your computer or laptop to use it. Keep in mind it has only 16 pads so this is not ideal to play your keys on. I plug in my USB keyboard and play the sounds (VST) that way and it's brilliant. I highly recommend it, but research the hell out of it before you buy.

This keyboard is a controller only. It has no built-in sounds of its own. You must use midi to connect it to sound engine.

Sampletank 3 FREE, recently released, will do this just fine. There is a free downloadable piano sample library available, along with synths and other instruments.

It's a midi controller, not an electric keyboard so no. You need a computer program or a synth to use with it.

My Yamaha EZ-20 fit without any modifications. From what I have read, the PSR 340 might be a European model keyboard, so not sure if that changes the type of stand needed.

Yes. This is a great interface due to the fact it YAMAHA provides a CD-ROM for easy installation to your PC. Also works well with other name brand keyboards like KORG & ROLAND.

they should send you a cd that will download the software. all you need is a aa battery to put in the keyboard.and that should be it.

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I couldn't get the midi interface to work with my computer.

It will work because it's standar midi device, but I don't recommend this, mine, a complete section of the keyboard stop working (8 keys). Look for a M-Audio.

yeah its a complete midi keyboard, so you plug it in to a computer with the cord that comes with it. You can get a solid piano synth program for free, and i love the fact that it's a midi since i use a program called playground sessions which acts as a virtual piano teacher

Hello Paul. I was requested to provide you with an answer; however, actually I haven't yet used the software. Also, I do not input music using keyboards, but rather directly through the sequencer "step mode". Apologies for not being able to help, but I had to at least respond to the request. Good luck anyway.

You will need a synthesiser / sound-module. Examples are anything from a Yamaha VL70m (pricey) to a Yamaha MU15 off ebay (cheap). Basically, anything with a MIDI input can be played with this device. As with all things, generally the more you spend, the better the sound.

any one of three adapters will power your PSR-3 keyboard. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE USERS MANUAL AT: http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/emi/english/port/PSR3E.pdf All three adapters have the same output and connector, they differ in the shape of the transformer only.

Not sure what that is but does work with protools as an interface device. It also works when emulated as a midi controller. You should be able to emulate with anything. Took me a few days to get it working on protools but working great now.

If you don't use a program then its not going to work also if you do go to settings midi and a Q49 should be there and enable that.
