This may sound trite, and be exactly what you have tried already, but ...

Set Mu100 rear selector switch to Midi (full Left)
Connect UM1 from USB on G4 (UM1 cannot work with MU100 set to To Host)
Connect UM1 midi cables to MU100 Midi In and Midi Out
Connect Piano midi Out to Mu100 Midi Thru

I don't have the same kit as you so I can't actually try it, but I do have a Mu100. Best wishes


: i have
: g4 digital audio, 466 mhz, 1gb ram, no soundcard
: technics sx p30 digital piano
: yamaha mu 100r sound generator
: edirol um 1x midi usb interface

: if i hook up my piano direcly to usb thru edirol interface, it plays in reason.

: but if i connect piano to my yamaha mu 100r synth and then hook it up, it does nothing. i know that it has some switch on the bac panel, and even if i choose midi or mac option, it does nothing. there is a TO HOST output, but that one is kind of obsolete, because it is a serial port and i dont's have that one, so i got a converter into midi from serial and it doesn'work either.

: is there any way, how to hook up this yamaha into usb?
