JOHN ALBINO Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I HAVE A CASIO XW G1 AND A CASIO WK 225. I WANT TO CONNECT THESE KEYBOARDS TO EACH OTHER. ASSUMING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE WK 225 WITH THE XW G1 WHERE CAN I GET THE MIDI CABLE ? ANY HELP OUT THERE? THANKS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Assuming the WK-225 has MIDI in and out ports you need two 5 Pin MIDI cables and you simply attach the OUT from the XW to the IN of the WK and vice versa. If you wish to add a computer to the loop you'd need only 1 MIDI cable and 1 USB to MIDI adapter and you'd hook up the adapter OUT to the XW's IN, a straight 5 Pin MIDI from the XW's OUT to the WK's IN and the WK''s OUT to the USB adapter's IN. You can easily find all the cables you need on Amazon. Hope this helps,Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You won't be able to connect the WK to the XW directly. The WK-225 does not have standard midi ports. It has a Midi USB port. That requires the use of a host device. A computer running some midi software is an example of one. For instance, connect both the XW and WK to a computer using the USB ports. Software such as Cakewalk can route the midi of one device out to the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlenK Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I believe the iConnectMIDI will do this, as well as a lot of other things. http://www.iconnectivity.com/iConnectMIDI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
