Hi guys, So, further to my query above, I've purchased the kenton usb-midi host and a friend has leant me an acorn usb keyboard to try to trigger my existing piano sounds with. any suggestions on how to get this working?? maybe our cables aren't right? I've also purchased this http://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-midi-interface/p/XC4934 to see if the usb to midi cable might make the set-up work? we've been combing the net for hours on end and seems like I'm giving up asking you guys?!?! I really need a usb\midi host\casio for dummies page...! http://www.acorn-instruments.com/usb-keyboards/Masterkey-61 Thanks so much for any help!

Thanks very much Brad much appreciated

Hi everyone, I'm researching this same idea to retrofit an old organ 32 note pedalboard with midi to trigger base notes on my privia PX 850 - without a pc or ipad as intermediary - as I love the existing sounds and speakers of the 850 I'm new to midi concepts but have been trying for awhile now to determine if the PX 850 can do the midi-controlling 'by itself' It's mentioned below that: "The Px-5s' keyboard for performance is layered or divided into 4 zones." I'm wondering if the PX850 will also do this? thanks so very much for any assistance, I love the 850 and I'm really looking forward to having a full pedalboard to go with it. Cheers, alison.
