A MIDI controller sends MIDI note messages to another device by MIDI cables or USB to a computer. If it is strictly a MIDI controller with no onboard sounds, it will have to connect to another MIDI device or computer to make sounds.

What piano keyboards work with cubase?

Any keyboard instrument which has a MIDI port should work. If the keyboard / controller doesn't come with drivers and software, then as long as it supports general MIDI standards it should work. I'm assuming you already have some sort of MIDI interface. If not and the keyboard is USB, your mileage may vary but most that are come with a driver and software to enable this.

What are the setting to use a Yamaha SY22 as a midi controller on fruity loops 9?

With any MIDI controller, you first have to assign the device as a MIDI controller in the FL Studio MIDI settings and select a free channel for it to work. You may be able to select the controller type, if it is not listed, just use the generic controller. If you need the controls mapped to a certain knob or slider on the MIDI device, you will need to assign it based on what you are attempting to change, and assigning a lot of controls may be time consuming. Once you get your preferences done though, you can save the controller configuration for use in future projects. Some keyboards come with MIDI controller disks that FL Studio may be able to read, and then there are plugin information that may give you a text file based on the control ports for the plugin where you can assign them easily to your device.

How do you connect midi with logic pro?

Most modern MIDI devices come with a USB link that passes the MIDI signal to the USB socket of the computer. If a USB connection is not available then a MIDI to USB adapter (See links below) can be added to connect the standard MIDI sockets to the USB socket. These are widely available from various manufacturers at varying prices. The Mac usually recognises when a MIDI device is connected but they can be configured with the Audio & MIDI setup utility found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
