I just bought a new M-Audio Oxygen 25 USB MIDI keyboard controller for school (I'm a student at Berklee College of Music) and I'm trying to use it to record in Garageband. I put in the disc that came with the keyboard, clicked 'install,' and it said the installation was successful and I had to restart my computer, which I did. I then opened Garageband, plugged in my keyboard, turned it on, and tried to play it. Whatever key I press, I just hear the same pinging sound. It won't play different pitches, and when I try to record anything, the right notes show up onscreen in the track itself, but nothing plays back. The keyboard shows up in the Garageband preferences and in the Audio MIDI setup, so my computer definitely recognizes it, but I don't know why it won't play anything. I'm using Garageband '11 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5, if that helps. I'm a bit technologically illiterate, so if there's anything really obvious that I forgot to do, definitely let me know! I've never used MIDI before so I kind of have no idea what I'm doing, but I have a project due later this week so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks very much.
