A friend of mine has had a Yamaha Arius YDP-S31 for a little while. His wife wanted to record some music to send to a relative who needed some cheering up so she recorded it to the tiny little internal memory built into the keyboard but we haven't been able to figure out a way to get that recorded song FROM the keyboard INTO her Mac so that she can edit or email it.
The Yamaha website is almost literally no help at all. They have a piece of software that's Windows-only which might possibly help except that she doesn't have a Windows machine available for the purpose (and she's not one to dabble in VMs or Bootcamp, either).
They were told by a salesman that what they needed was a USB-MIDI UX16 cable, which they purchased. But it wasn't recognized by Garage Band and I haven't had any luck with it, either. I mean, it's a MIDI cable so, the way I understand it, it doesn't help with transferring digitally recorded music files...it's for transmission of MIDI control info, right?
Does anyone know how to get the single-song-slot memory transferred off the keyboard and into a Mac?
