The keyboard is MIDI compatible, does that mean it is a MIDI controller? meaning I can controll MIDI sounds coming out from my computer?

I do not use mine for a midi controller, but according to the Casio website it is a midi controller for Windows, Mac and iPad. "Casio continues the tradition of providing "class compliant" USB connectivity on Workstation Keyboards. This allows Casio Workstation Keyboards to be used with Mac or Windows computers without the need to download drivers. Class Compliant USB MIDI also allows Workstation Keyboards to be used as a controller for the Apple iPad by using Apple's Camera Connection Kit. "

You need a MIDI compatible sound program - like Logic, GarageBand, or the like to provide a 'voice' for the unit. It's just a controller, not an instrument in it's own right.

Hi Molivia, I have used this USB to MIDI adapter off and on for some time and it works fine for me. I use Windows 7 32 but that should not matter; the signals at the peripheral level should be the same for 64 bit or 32 bit computers. When making your connections be sure to connect the adapter MIDI IN connector to the Keyboard out connector and the MIDI adapter OUT connector to the Keyboard MIDI IN connector. At first blush that may sound weird until you think about, the output from any source usually goes to the input of whatever receiver you plan to send it too. Lights on the adapter body: Red is MIDI power, Yellow is MIDI in and Blue is MIDI out. The lights merely show that the signal is passing thru the MIDI lines. I hope this is helpful, Jim C

No not at all. It's a MIDI controller keyboard, not a standalone synth. The sound source is typically software-based running on a computer.

It is a USB midi controller with built in sound.. Yes you can with the right software.. PS.. As a previous owner of the controller , I would not recommend buying this as it only works with certain software and the support is terrible. Choose a Numark controller which is the same price, better built and works with most software....

This is a midi keyboard, what this means is that you need an interface to produce sound, you can look for a software for your computer and plug the keyboard to it, or use an iPad but you will need the camera adapter for it

you don't use a midi keyboard with this it is a audio interface you can plug microphones guitars & your monitoring speakers to it ..your midi devices should be plugged I to your usb or midi interface..one of the plus about this product is that you can use it on your desktop or a iPad that makes it awesome to me ..I use mine often an I have zero problems with it .

Yes, you can. Kind of the point of a usb MIDI controller. Works with all the DAWs I've tried on (ie Ableton and FL).

Any soft with MIDI compare (cubase. logic. etc) Its mean you can use it not only with computer soft if you have MIDI connection and great desire to explore:)

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those. In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

No. This is a MIDI controller only. It is not capable of generating sound on its own.

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

Yes, this requires a computer as this is basically a controller for recording software which is why it is called a "MIDI Keyboard Controller"

I'm using a ASUS laptop and have no problems. It must be Windows 7 and have at least 2 GHZ (Gigahertz). I don't use a midi so I can't answer that. The guy below is giving another similar response to that question.

Yes, this is a USB MIDI Controller, which means it will work with any computer that has USB ports (which is virtually every single computer nowadays.)
