Then, switch on the Bluetooth on your MAC. Insert the MIDI ends into the keyboard’s ports, turn on the Bluetooth on the wireless interface. For keyboards without Bluetooth, you can use a wireless hookup device consisting of two MIDI connectors, and a wireless transmitter. If the computer or MacBook does not recognize the keyboard signal, turn off the MAC’s Bluetooth (but not the keyboard’s) and turn it back on. If your digital piano has a Bluetooth module, simply turn on the Bluetooth on both devices and wait for them to connect.
Your MAC must have Bluetooth enabled in order to do so. If corded options aren’t your thing, learn how to connect a piano keyboard to a MAC wirelessly. As an example, consider the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

If your MIDI piano doesn’t have a USB Type-B jack, you can use a two-step connection. The Lightning end goes to your Mac, while the square USB end goes into the keyboard’s jack. If your MIDI instrument has a USB Type-B (square-shaped) port, it also ensures direct communication between it and your Mac. Connect the MacBook to the Lightning (USB3 Camera) connector. If your digital piano only has one MIDI OUT port, connect the interface’s MIDI IN connector to the keyboard’s port. Devices like the Roland UM-ONE-MK2 allow for a stable connection between a MacBook and a MIDI keyboard. Still, the modern market offers multiple devices letting you use your MIDI keyboard with a MAC.ĭepending on your MAC’s and keyboard connections, you can select the following hookup options: MACs and MacBooks don’t usually feature MIDI inputs and thus, direct hookup isn’t possible. While the modern MAC computers often accept USB Type-A connectors, some feature only Lightning connectors. Below you’ll find step-by-step guidance - how to connect a MIDI keyboard to a MAC. For that, you’ll need to hook up your MIDI instrument to your MAC device. With any type of digital instrument, whether it is a professional 88-key keyboard or a small DIY MIDI controller, you’ll get more functionality using it with DAW.
