Playing JD-Xi into Logic (Mac)

Playing JD-Xi into Logic (Mac)

Only by desperate measures am I here...

I'd love to play my JD-Xi sounds and record them in tracks in Logic. I have an audio interface, midi in/out cords, and the USB hookup with the correct Driver installed (and reinstalled after the recent update as well, to be on the safe side)

Apparently all I really need is to hook up the JD-Xi with USB to my computer to send MIDI and audio (so MIDI cords unnecessary after all?). I've set the USB mode to "Vendor" per Roland's instructions as well. I've set my output/input sound devices to JD-Xi. When I look at tutorials on setting up hardware synths in Logic, I see them do this via an External Instrument track, where they select their device in the Midi Out setting. But I don't see my JD-Xi here and I'm wondering why?

If anybody can help provide guidance I'd be so grateful. I'm new to hardware in DAWs and am beyond confused. It's been a month that I say "this weekend, I'm figuring this out..." Still... diddly squat.

I also read that the easiest way to do this is hook up my output on JD-Xi to my interface with 1/4" TRS cables. That way I can still use my studio monitors. I might try this next but for godssake I need to understand what is happening ?

Thanks.
