I purchased the KX8 with full intention of running cubase on a pc. I am now blessed with an imac and logic 9 and cannot get the transport buttons (play/stop/rec) on the KX8 to control my playhead in logic. When you press the buttons you only get noise. I have loaded the kx tools disk and gone online and got the latest drivers(i think) I am new to audio software and even newer to the world of mac. I am sitting on a ton of power with no idea how to utilize it all... baby steps...Could sombody please help guide me in the right direction.

YAMAHA KX8 DAW Remote Problem 2012
Hi TYB, I purchased also a Yamaha KX8 and now I have the same problem with my Logic Studio, cannot get the transport buttons (play/stop/rec).
I saw that your listing is of old date, and I wanted to ask you if you then you were able to solve this problem ? Thanks for any help!

Yes, in fact I had tried with MMC, but the same does not work .... Now I tried with Control Assign, the only way I know, even if it would not be the perfect arrangement of Yamaha. Thanks anyway
Hey
Pianistaitaliano...
I had to install the KX8 as another device... It is one of those preset with logic. I want to say it's another yamaha device but I don't think so... I want to say motif but that's too new... almost like a korg or something. If you still haven't figured it out I'm going to be getting back into that thing in the next day or two so re-post or let me know what you found out -k-. I spent MONTHS trying to find it so I'll do my best to help you out.

Hi TYB, i didn't found a working software ....for the moment I still use the form of Control Assign, which is very helpful...However thanks for the help!
Pianistaitaliano... I am digging deeper and it install's as a Mackie device... I'm trying to find the exact stages but if I remember right the KX is set to Halion 1... Let me know if you get it figured as some day I will screw up my set up and have to reload it...lol, I'll repost as I figure out more!
