"No Devices Connected"

[SteveK]

I have a CGP-700.  I like it and after a couple years I've decided to think about doing some midi stuff.  I have a windows 7 computer 64bit. I've downloaded a midi program called Reaper.   I downloaded drivers from the Casio site.  I've tried 3 different zip files and have run them:

 

CCUSBX64_INST

CCMID12_INST

CASIO_XW-DJ1_Driver_2_26

 

I am connecting a USB cable from my laptop to the CGP-700.  I get the standard USB two note connection sound when I plug in the USB cable, but when I open the Casio Control Panel in the windows tool tray it has one tab that is for USB Audio Device and it says "No devices connected".   I've tried different USB ports on my laptop just in case it has to do with some port compatibility or something, but that doesn't make a difference.   What should I try next?

 

Is there anything I need to do on the CGP-700?  It doesn't mention anything in the Casio manual.

The CGP-700 is class complaint so it should be fine with any computer or device that is. I'm not a Windows person so I don't know what you might need to do, if anything, with that platform. I just know it should be plug and play on Mac and iOS.

 

Someone here should be able to help you. One thing you might try is MIDIOX, which should show you if your computer can see the MIDI data from your keyboard.

Oh... you didn't need to download drivers.  It will work fine on Windows. Just plug and play.   One thing to note, Casio does not do audio over USB.  It's strictly for MIDI.  So don't expect anything that's meant for audio to work. Now, in Reaper you should see a MIDI preferences menu somewhere that will select CasioUSBMIDI as input and output.  Select that and you should be golden.  Enjoy!

I just downloaded and installed Midiox and this is what I see.  Does this tell you anything?  I don't know what I am supposed to see in this window.  The Win7 laptop is connected to the CGP-700 and it is on.

Should I delete the Casio driver that I installed that is listed under Sound video and game controllers?

[Brad Saucier]

No, that's the correct driver for the keyboard.  Windows installed that when you first connected the keyboard.  The drivers you downloaded are not made for your model.   They won't harm anything as they'll simple not be used.

No, that's the correct identification for the keyboard driver.  That's what you should choose as MIDI in and out in your software.

Here is what I am choosing in Reaper:

Looks good.

yes, but it doesn't good.  It doesn't sound at all.

USB doesn't carry audio on Casio keyboards.  It's for MIDI only.  What are you intending to do?

[SteveK]

I want to use Reaper to record the midi info from the CGP-700 on to a track in Reaper. I also want to play that midi info back into the CGP-700 and hear it from the speakers of the piano with the tone generation that the CGP does.  I also want to eventually get some extra sounds and load them into Reaper and have those sounds come out the speakers of the piano whether they are played back from a recorded midi track or played live.

I have a CGP 700 that I’m trying to connect to an iPad 5th generation, for the singular purpose of connecting my keyboard to online music instructions. It’s totally non responsive. HELP!
