Hi everyone, I have a guest in the studio with an old Yamaha digital piano which has only a USB port out for any midi. I've got a 1810C interface.
Is there a generic driver or simple Yamaha driver I can install to connect it to S1/5?
So far, I'm only finding all kinds of confusing Yamaha driver software and bundles that I don't quite 'get', and would rather avoid installing for this one-off project.
Thanks!

Studio One 5.3, Latest UC driver

This version supports 'Gatekeeper'. The USB-MIDI Driver is for use with Studio Manager V2 Host and Editor. Be sure to use the latest versions of both the Studio Manager V2 Host and Editor available on this Yamaha Pro Audio site. Second - open up audio midi setup and in a the drop down on the midi devices page select new configuration. This will rescan your system. If it doesn't show up in audio midi - then it is a driver or OS issue. There's been quite a few users reporting USB problems, to early to tell if it's an OS issue.

What is the exact model of the piano? Is your computer Mac or Windows?
The piano cannot be that old. If it was older it would only have 5 pin Din midi connectors on it. For a while there they had both types of connection. Its only more recent models where they have started to leave the 5 pin Midi connection off.
If the piano only has a USB port you need to connect it directly to the computer. The interface wont be involved. (not for midi but still for audio of course) The piano will feature a USB type B connection. (the almost square one) the computer will require the standard USB A connection. The flat one. A standard USB B to USB A lead will do the trick.
Then you may have to download and install a driver to get the computer to see it. Unless its class compliant and it should work right off the bat. If a driver does need to be installed then it wont hurt your computer either after the project is gone either. You can probably uninstall the driver as well.

It depends if its class compliant drivers. If so, once plugged in you should see the ports available under external devices in studio one.
You may need to go into the settings of the keyboard and turn on midi mode or PC mode or something of that sorts.

Sorry, I should have explained I'm well familiar with all the above. It was more all the Yamaha 'extra' software, a bit like the software portals and hubs that Plugin Alliance and such have, that I was hoping to avoid just to access a simple driver for the keyboard. I was wondering if there such a thing as a generic driver for this situation. I'll dig a little deeper into the model specs

Yes, good point. Worth a dig around in the keyboard settings.
Thanks guys, I got a few hours before the next session to see what I can do.

It would still be good to know what the piano model is. It means I can research it a bit more deeply for you.
Don't think there is a generic driver as such. Usually when Yamaha wants you to download a driver for a specific product it needs to be that exact driver.
Try connecting direct to the computer and see if it picks it up as a class compliant thing.

I had an older Yamaha MO8 and MO6. I used this version of the Yamaha driver, worked well with both.

If you need Windows, not sure which version that is.
Maybe this one.

That driver might work.

Audio MIDI Setup User Guide

When you open Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac, a MIDI interface connected to the USB port is usually detected automatically and shown in MIDI Studio. If it isn’t, you may need to rescan the MIDI connection for the device. If you connect another MIDI device to the MIDI interface, you need to set that device up.

  1. In the Audio MIDI Setup app on your Mac, choose Window > Show MIDI Studio.

  2. In the MIDI Studio window, click the Rescan MIDI button .

    If the device still doesn’t appear, make sure it’s properly connected to your Mac, that it’s turned on, and that you installed any software required by the manufacturer.

  3. If the device is connected to the MIDI interface on your Mac, set up the MIDI device.

If you delete a MIDI interface and then decide you want to continue using it, you need to rescan the MIDI connection to see the device in Audio MIDI Setup. If you delete a MIDI device that’s connected to the MIDI interface, you must set up the MIDI device again.
