When you record MIDI, you can use that to drive any soft synth (so you can change just the instrument on the synth without affecting performance), so 'just recording MIDI' is not a bad thing.Дid you use an 'Instrument Track' when you recorded your performance, or were you listening to the keyboard output? Based on what you are doing you may want to research 'instrument tracks' to get a better feel for how they work. You can also create an Aux Track listening to the soft synth, which will allow you to record the soft synth output (real-time). When you record MIDI, that is all you will get (MIDI), but you can then bounce that information to another track (with it being played by a soft synth), which will create an audio track of the performance. That soft synth is an important middle man to the process. Just to make sure (I am not sure how new you are so do not take offense), MIDI data is simply note information (no audio), so to be able to hear it, you will need to output that MIDI track into a 'soft synth,' which takes in MIDI and outputs audio. Hopefully you can get this working and enjoy it and Cakewalk as much as I did. I started with a Yamaha keyboard back in 2001, but it didn't have USB.

Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

The connections, turn on the power of the instrument.

First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer.

The USB data-transfer features youвЂ™ll need to do the following: Some stuff from the manual, and a link to the manual:Д¬onnect the instrumentвЂ™s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performanceДata and song files between the two (page 86). PS John didn't scare me away, and I am a her not a him. Just something to help me get better sounding virtual instruments recorded directly into CW that I can than edit in piano roll and mix with other tracks, etc. I'm reasonably tech savvie - but not a sound/music production specialist - so, easier/less is better. I'd love to get a keyboard that is as close to a plug and play kind of situation as possible. Thanks for all your suggestions and I'm open to any additional ones that occur to you. Complicated! Especially for someone who's not really a musician nor versed in DAWs. I'm not really a songwriter - but this one song just kind of came to me, first as a riff, then a whole melody line and then words - so I feel compelled to build it out into a real song, which is why I downloaded CW and am trying to learn it.

Looks like I'm going to need to invest in some more stuff to make this song work. My singing voice is fairly sucky, but I have an okay mike anyway and decent headphones. Like I said, it is an antique, and I bought it for creating little musical snippets for videos I was producing back in the mid-2000s. Thanks all for all this! My keyboard is a Yamaha PSR E403 to answer that question, and my guess is you're right about the USB port on it not being able to transmit midi data.
