Hi aleskibrunet.

Unfortunally you can't use PA1x pro via USB port like midi port.
To use in Logic 8 you have to connect via MIDI in/out port ... The sound list of PAx pro for Logic and some other Soft is here: http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/en/produc ... ft.html?en

Hi Nedim,

The Pa1x doesn't have the capability of MIDI over USB. Although there is a USB port, the functionality supported is just remote HD access via Windows. Aleskibrunet can still use the Pa1x with the Mac and Logic but will have to connect using conventional MIDI cables and a suitable MIDI interface board fitted to the MAC.

MIDI over USB is only supported on the newer Pa ke7yboards such as the Pa800, Pa500, Pa588 and Pa2x.

You sure can. I use mine with Logic Express and a MacBook Pro.

I've also used it with a PowerMac G4, a PowerBook and an iMac.

I use an Alesis IO2 midi/audio interface and this works well. The sound mapping can be a bit tedious as it's not as intuitive as it could be but Paolo T posted a thread some time back that explained the reasons why. However once you're used to it it's fine.

You have to set up the environment in Logic and download the instrument map from the link above but it shouldn't be too much trouble to set up.
