It looks like you are already set up for that. The simplest way of using it is to just use it as a standard MIDI controller.
Connect the audio output of your keyboard to the computer with some sort of audio interface. Use the keyboard as a MIDI controller only, and use it to play Ableton's built in synthesizers (or any VST instruments you have). So you can use it as a MIDI controller for Ableton, but not as a sound source (at least not without additional connections). As the saying goes: "That's the price of progress!".So it looks like that keyboard supports MIDI via USB, but I don't think it transmits audio as well. Sorry about all of this, but this is what happens when the technology advances and no longer fits the "one size fits all" solutions that have worked just fine for the past few years. For complete information on all of this, see the "boxed" information, and all asterisked notes, in bold print, in the middle of of the "Computer-related Operations" guide that came with your PSR-E363. In that case, you will need to download and install the Yamaha-Steinberg driver. This will be important if you ever want to also use that USB connection to your computer as an AUDIO as well as a MIDI connection. That is why, once you uninstalled that driver, the generic "Class Compliant" driver was able to work, and you got a connection. If that driver just would not install, at all, with an appropriate error message, it would make everything much more apparent, but it does install, does not work, and prevents the generic "Class Compliant" USB-MIDI driver, that you are currently using, from working. That driver will not work with any of the Yamaha keyboards that have both of those capabilities. The driver you were originally trying to use will not work, at all, with the PSR-E363, because the PSR-E363 has the capability of transfering both MIDI and AUDIO over the USB connection to the computer. I finally see on my piano screen is written. In my Windows settings, in Bluetooth and other Devices, I can see it called "Digital Keyboard", with a second line "Driver error" Of course, I already tried to update the driver from the Device Manager, unsuccessfully. In the properties it says "this device cannot start" (sorry for the maybe incorrect translations, i see it in french for real). I can see the "Digital Keyboard" in the Device Manager, but it appears twice, and one of them is with a yellow triangle sign meaning like "caution". I try to use my Yamaha PSR-E363 as a MIDI controller on my PC (Windows 10), but the driver can't install successfully.Īctually, I plug in the piano to my pc by USB (cable working properly), i turn on the piano, and i can hear Windows detects a new device.īut when I run the setup.exe of the driver (named USB-MIDI Driver V3.1.4 for Win 10/8.1/8/7 (64-bit) on the yamaha's site), after 3 or 4 ordinary steps, the installer meets an error "Yamaha USB-MIDI driver error" "no device is connected.
