You don’t need Cubase to connect a synth to an audio interface and produce sound, and questions re. Your interface should be directed to the manufacturer’s support or your sales person. Please clarify what you are trying to do. Are you trying to send audio from the MO into AI to record it or are you sending MIDI into AI and hoping to hear sound? The more details you provide re. Your routing etc., the better the chance that someone will be able to help.frank.

But at this point I’m unable to monitor my playing. I have the computer, the audio interface, the MO8, and my keyboard amp all hooked up according to the instructions that came with the interface. No sound from the amp or through headphones plugged in the interface. If I unplug the two cables from the MO8 output to the interface, and go direct to the amp, I get sound. When I have the interface between the mo8 and the monitor (amp), no sound.
Same thing with the head phones. So, I know theMo8 and amp work. I believe the problem lies with either the interface or cubase. Does that help? Any suggestions?

Channels 1 and 2 feature Yamaha’s new one knob compressor – excellent for vocals or whatever signal you bring in.
Additionally the AudioGram6 can provide +48V phantom power for condenser microphones (via channel 1). The AudioGram6 not only has additional channels, it also has a separate control for DAW monitoring (critical if you are planning on using your AudioGram unit to overdub in the computer-based sequencer).It provide(s) signal/peak overload lights.Recording from Synthesizer to computerSetting up the AudioGram for recording Connect the AudioGram to a computer via USB. Use two audio cables to connect your synthesizer main L&R;Outputs to the stereo Input channel of the AudioGram. Set the SELECT switch to “INST.” Connect the Outputs of the AudioGram to a quality sound system.ComputerAlthough you can use standard audio drivers, we highly recommend that you go online and download the Yamaha USB ASIO driver. This will ensure low latency if you are planning on working extensively with your AudioGram.

Well, I don’t.
So that leads me to believe the audiogram6 is faulty. Am I right?Side question; I’m assuming the audiogram6’s only power source is from the laptop through the USB cable. So even though it’s plugged into the computer, the sound from the mo8 can pass right through the audiogram6 to the amplifier and still produce sound, right? Even if cubase is not open?If all this is correct, I must have a faulty audiogram6. Is that your conclusion?

Is that your conclusion?My role here is to assist with Cubase and AI problems and leave comments on Yamaha hardware to Yamaha.:) Bad Mister has given you a very detailed post on how to set up your device with Cubase and if that works as he has described then Yamaha can handle the rest of your questions re.
The device itself. If it were me, I’d try that first, and not worry about not using the computer for the present. Try using the computer and AI first.
That will be a good test of the Audiogram. If it works, THEN move on to see if you can run the powered device and obtain sound without going through the computer. Note I specifically said “an audio interface”. With nearly all audio interfaces that (not going through the computer) is entirely doable, BUT I am no expert on the Audiogram. Yamaha can help with that.No, it is not my conclusion that the device is faulty, because I would never conclude that without first testing it myself.:) However your setup diagram clearly shows how to connect speakers and a synth to the device, and if all the switches and knobs are correctly set, then yes, one would expect that one could hear audio without going through the computer. It would be strange to me if a device didn’t allow that.Re.
Recording in the computer, please note that the Audiogram specs mention XP and Vista, and that AI4 has been replaced by AI 5 and AI 6, so your product, as you mentioned, does go back a few years. Any AI problems, I’ll be pleased to try and help. Total Posts: 36648Joined status: ModeratorBefore you take your unit back to the store (and risk possible embarrassment) here are simple things you can test to KNOW whether your unit is working or not - using the LED indicators:When the AudioGram6 is connected to a computer it will light up - does yours?If yes, it is most likely working. The GREEN POWER indicator must be ON in order for the unit to pass signal.You are correct, the AudioGram6 gets power via the USB bus. So it must be connected to a computer or other USB source to gain power. You never mention the lights - so we have to just point that out (least we miss something simple).
Forgive this please if it is overly simplistic but to systematically test this - we will use the LEDs to check the signal flow through the unit. Here’s how:Start by turning the MASTER LEVEL all the way down (very important) We will know when signal arrives there by the LED meters (not by blasting our own ears when signal does arrive). So the very last thing we’ll do is turn up the Master level. Also turn down your amplifier at the end of the chain - it is the very last thing you will turn up.When you plug your keyboard into the AudioGram - there are LEDs for each INPUT channel that will light in response to incoming signal (Use a drum groove or arpeggio as your test signal) These lights will help you determine if the unit is receivng and ultimately, sending signal - even if you cannot hear it.If you are not seeing any PEAK indication: Try increasing the GAIN control at the TOP of the channel (or channels) you are using. The GAIN must be increased - Increase the GAIN until you see the Channel’s INPUT Peak indicator flash on/off with the loudest passages.
Set the Channel’s LEVEL to about 2 o’clock. (This will be subjective monitoring volume.)Do not under-estimate the importance of the GAIN control setting - set improperly it can make your unit seem as if there is no signal - the gain control can accommodate a wide variety of signals from weak signals (like microphones) through to LINE levels. You may need to set your GAIN somewhere in the middle or higher to make sure you are seeing incoming signal.
Type in AudioGram 6 Vista/XP driver etc. It should take you to the Yamaha site where they have the latest drivers there. It also comes with its own ASIO driver, which works very well with the PG Software.You will love it, I do.
You only need to use ASIO.if you are recording a VST/DX instrument in real time. Otherwise, just use the MME driver.BTW, I got my updated Vista 32 driver from their website.TraxEdited by Muzic Trax ( 04/21/10 07:10 PM)#70607 - 04/22/10 06:27 AM Off-Topic Re: yamaha audiogram 6.
