Sib. 7.5: Yamaha NP-V60 keyboard; Yosemite 10.10.3; Sibelius 7.5.1
Posted by charlestonsax - 27 Jun 05:05PM
Hi, I purchased a mac book pro April 15, 2014 with Yosemite 10.10.3.

In April 2015 I purchased Sibelius 7.5.1 through cross grade from Finale.

This week I purchased a Yamaha Piaggero NP-V60 keyboard for Midi input, however it does not show up in my midi device list in Sibelius.

Please understand: I hate computers and do not consider myself especially agile with all this technology. It drives me crazy!!!

So, that being said, after several searches from what I understand I need to download a driver from the Yamaha website; however, Yamaha doesn't have a driver that will work with Yosemite 10.01.3 - even though it's been over a year since I bought my MBP!??!?? Really?!?? So this keyboard is worthless as a speedy note entry keyboard?

Can someone please confirm? Or is there a simple solution to use this keyboard as a midi entry device?

Than you!

Frustrated acoustic wind player.

What is the evidence for that statement?

I find drivers for this device and Mac OS 10.x at:

Oh, thank you, Robin! I downloaded the driver and it appears to work perfectly now!

As for where I got the impression that there was no Yamaha driver for Yosemite, it was on this Yamaha webpage:

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/downloads/firmware_software/mididrivers/

And I got to this yamaha web page by following some Sibelius link or directions for obtaining Yamaha drivers, but I can't find that Sibelius link/page now...As I said, I don't feel especially comfortable with computers and technology.

But thank you!
