Oh man, this is great, even better info here than on the tutorrials. Thank you so much for being so explicit. I will check these things out in sonar, to see where information is being sent and received.
You are correct, I'm not trying to use both the USB and midi outs on the casio, I have tried both separately though with no luck. The problem is that I don't have the drivers for the casio. They were supposed to be installed when they created my computer, but the company that makes this stuff accessable for the blind forgot to ask them to install the drivers, and they were not given to me when they brought my work station. I have looked for my owner's manual, but because I purchased this piano about 8 years ago, I can't seem to find it or the cd rom that came with it. I couldn't find the drivers on the casio web page. I found some, but I'm not sure which one I need. Their web cite isn't really screen reader friendly. I even called the tec people at casio, and the woman I spoke to wasn't even sure where to find the drivers.
I can't thank you enough for all of this information. I am determined to unlock all of the possibilities of this midi thing. I am curious to see what sounds are there, just waiting to come out.
