hi. i was wondering if my piano still actual atm (CDP-130BK)

[mynameisjeff]

hi. 
not so long ago i inherited a piano keyboard from my uncle (r.i.p.) - casio cdp-130bk. 
so i went to the store to buy some cables (this model requires USB Type-B, if im not mistaken) to make it possible recording my piano, but when i came back home and plugged my piano in my pc, i didnt get any results: piano still sounds apart from my pc like i if i was playing w/out any cables. 
even right now after writing all of this text i decided to check my settings again, and i did, and it still doesnt work. 
also, i was searching on the internet any info about this model and download some software, but it appears that there's no any software or drivers for this model. was it so unpopular? unfortunately, i couldnt find any info about this model EVEN on Casio websites, which is odd.  
I really want to play on digital piano and record some stuff so badly, after decade of playing on the old piano by Paish, please, help.
im running on windows 10 if it makes sense. if any photos are needed i'll make them.

1. The CDP-130 is Class Complaint so you shouldn't need drivers on your PC, it should just work.

 

2. MIDI over USB doesn't record audio, it records MIDI data. What this means is that wouldn't be recording the sounds of the CDP-130, you'd be recording the notes, and choosing sounds on the PC in software. You could use some standalone sounds, or record the notes and choose the sounds in a DAW such as Cubase, Studio One, Cakewalk, and others (I'm not a PC guy but the situation is basically the same on all platforms).

 

The other option is to go from the audio out on the CDP-130 to audio input on the PC, you might need an interface for that. This would record the sounds of the CDP-130 on your PC. There are lots of good audio interfaces out there that would suit your needs.

 

Was the CDP-130 unpopular? No, it was one of Guitar Center's best selling products period. But in the U. S., it was only sold in Guitar Center and thus they did all the promotion and support, so it wasn't listed on Casio USA's web site. I don't know if it would be on an English version of Casio Japan's site but it might be.
