Gary I feel dumb af!!! i tried reversing the cables and it worked!!!! I guess that when i was playing notes that night, i connected them reversed and didnt know. But this keyboard was given to me from my pops. My grandma had it at her house for some years. So when he found out i was doing music, he did that favor for me and grabbed it from her. I am looking forward to upgrading my equipment once i mastered the stuff I got already, which now i can make progress now on thanks to you guys. I really do appreciate the help... But one more thing: besides the casio brand, do u recommend any other model or brands i should look into?

Yea i bought a midi usb adapter form guitar center (Mio Midi to USB) and that adapter shows on reason, but ever since that night I got a signal, I wasnt able to get another one. And gary, that site didnt do nothing for me. Maybe I am doing something wrong setting my midi keyboard to the program. Can you guys tell me how you would connect your keyboard to the DAW you are using.

I've had the Casio CTK 481 midi Keyboard for a while now.I am using a Windows 8 Acer laptop where i make my music from using Reason 7 as the DAW. One night, Reason found my keyboard and I was playing notes. The next day when I started my session, the keyboard could not be found, which made me try and do different things to get it back working again. I even downloaded a midi program 'Loopbe1" to be able to assist on transferring the midi signal from the keyboard to the computer. Right now, I am stuck right now thinking if this model is too old for my laptop or I am doing something wrong. Can somebody help me out with this problem?
