I want to use my Yamaha pss-a50 keyboard as an instrument on studio one 4 (pc)- the problem is that this keyboard only have a MIDI-USB exit - so i cannot connect it to Presouns Audio itwo as a-PL or a MIDI input.

is there any other way to use it as an instrument?

and another thing when i connnect it as a midi keyboard the sustain butoon (not paddle- this keyboard doesnt have a paddle) is not working- other buttons such the arpeggio is working just fine- anybody know how to fix it?

thanks in advance for the helpers:)
