    Hi,

    My dad just bought me a new Korg M50 keyboard which I will be using to produce music, most likely using logic pro with my macbook. I am hoping to use the internal sounds of the keyboard itself to make music and not the pre-loaded sounds of logic. I was wondering if I would need any sort of interface or if I could use the built in midi capability of M50 to record the sounds of the keyboard.

    Thanks in advance.

    M3 has it's own editor that comes on a CD with the keyboard... With m50 being
    the stripped-down version od the M3, you could use the M50 editor
    as a VST plug-in - enabling you to use internal sounds for rendering MIDI tracks

    Here's a quote from the official website:

    Is the M50 editor a substitute for logic?....Or will I have to use the editor to use the internal sounds in logic?

    The M50 Editor is a stand-alone software application + it can run as a VST plugin for your Sequencer (as long as the M50 is plugged into your mac)

    You should've gotten a manual with the keyboard, and another one with the editor CD

    Thanks, but how would i go about connecting the keyboard to Logic Pro.....I like the interface of it, and I think I want to use that as software.

    Dunno about MACs, but under windows you just plug the keyboard, install the drivers from the CD and you're good to go :)

    you have to put your vst plug in in your plug in folder, depending on what version of OS your using they may be called audio units.

    Here is how u get to the plug in folder.

    Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-ins

    then depending on if u want the effects/sounds/whatever ur using go from there!

    hope this helped!
