Korg Forums

so im trying to connect my M50 to my Computer. and Run it on the program Fruity Loops 8, i installed everything that was required, and i can see the VST Korg Plugin when i open it up on FL8, but when i hit the Any key on my m50, no sound is Going into FL8, I have it Conected Via USB/Firewire, So basiclly i have no sound from my Korg going Into FruityLoops, and when on Playback still theres no sound.

So im guessing i have to connect it Via MIDI Cables?
maybe both in and out?

I called Guitar center and they said i needed to Add an Audio Cable,but i dont think that was the problem,got any ideas?

If you don't have audio cables running from your M50 (Audio output L/Mono & R) to your soundcard/audio interface, you will not hear any sound...

The VSTi is communicating with the M50 using USB. No sound is created by the VSTi (like they normally would). The sound is created within the M50. So, yes a cable is needed .

ohh ok, dam, i got no sound card or Interface,

im supposed to be getting a ProFire 610, but thats like in about 2or3 weeks, thang that sukks, But alright i see how it works now thanks guys.

You could, for the time being, just connect your M50 to headphones, an amp, or PC speakers if you wanted. Obviously, you couldn't record that way, but it'd at least let you hear the sound. Of course, without some kind of mixer-like device or two sets of speakers, you could *only* hear the M50 that way.

oh yea i know that, i got them connected to my logitechs right now, i was just trying to figure out a way to record into Fruity Loops, but these fellow posters already helped me out, ima need a interface which ima be getting soon and Audio cable.
