Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Digital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths & Keyboards how to connect my CASIO to my PC or MAC

I'm going insane. I've the right cables, but the keyboard doesn't communicate with the computer.. any help?

Did you load the Casio driver? What is your setup?

+1 to guest1013 advice if you're using the USB-MIDI connectivity option of the Casio keyboard.

In addition, if you're using the conventional MIDI-IN/OUT ports make sure that:

> MIDI IN (of Casio keyboard) is connected to the MIDI OUT of the soundcard/audiocard.

> MIDI OUT (of Casio keyboard) is connected to the MIDI IN of the soundcard/audiocard.

> Again, IN connects to OUT
> And, OUT connects to IN

If you're using a MIDI to USB converter box/device, there was a post by "Steve T" a while back regarding his M-AUDIO USB-to-MIDI device, if you own the same device, check out that thread here:

Casio USB MIDI connection

If you're still having problems, try checking out the MIDI DEVICES setting in your AUDIO-MIDI software. Check the MIDI-IN device if you have selected the proper device for MIDI input.

ditto with the Midi in to midi out thing. Took me a while to realize I was doing it wrong
