I'm a novice to this so please be patient with me. We have an ageing Yamaha PSR 1000 which would have been a fine MIDI keyboard/synth in its day. I want to set this up as a MIDI controller for Pro Logic X on the Mac. I have watched the Youtube videos on setting this up (or at least setting up the Yamaha PSR 900 which I assume is similar).
My first issue is a very basic how to connect the keyboard to the Mac's USB. One Youtube vid has the keyboard's MIDI IN and OUT ports connected to a USB via a single MIDI cable. Another vid has the keyboard's 'Host' connected to a USB (the 'Host' is a different type of port to the MIDI IN and OUT and so this would need a different lead). And yet another vid shows this connecting to a computer's USB via what I think is a MIDI hub.
My second issue is, even if I connect this keyboard, will it work with Pro Logic X. I can see a generic Yamaha driver online, but cannot see any posts on specifically connecting this older generation keyboard specifically. Are these things usually plug n play or are there some fairly generic drivers out there?

Sorry if these are basic questions. Would love to get this working if I can. I'm not completely stupid with these things and a nudge or two in the right direction should be enough.

You better opt for the MIDI-USB interface, connecting your MIDI In and MIDI Out from your PSR keyboard to the MIDI interface and that MIDI interface to your Mac USB port. There are many MIDI interfaces available; no need to go for the one suggested in the PSR user manual. If you don't plan to connect (simultaneously) other MIDI devices to your Mac, a basic MIDI-USB cable interface should suffice and they are less expensive. Drivers installation for the same are most likely required. However, it is recommended to acquire one of reputable quality (such as or, etc.) since there are some on the market that are unreliable, although their very low price make them quite appealing.

Besides the (most likely required) drivers to make the (above mentioned) MIDI interface to work, there should be no need for your PSR keyboard to transmit MIDI to Logic (or any other MIDI apt software). MIDI is a protocole that all the softwares that deal with MIDI has to adhere to.
