Hi Rolfy,

Welcome to the forum!

Your NR4 is equipped with two midi ports, one traditional 5-pin DIN and one USB. Both ports cannot, however, be active at once; it's own or the other. In this changing world it seems that fewer and fewer people are using midi while more and more are using USB. For this reason, the factory default setting on the NR4 is for the USB port to be active. If you enter the Midi Menu and change that setting per the "cheat sheet" printed on the front panel of the instrument, your ears will achieve their goal. :-)

You will find many friendly and helpful people here, so you do not need to be shy about asking questions -- although please take some time to search archives for answers which may already exist. Additionally, as your national tech support person, I am available via my regular work contacts:

Bless,
