RangutanMF Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hey this is my first post here :). Ok so I have this Casio CTK900 that my father bought years ago, I recently started playing this keyboard and it all works fine but I want to record some of my stuff, I still don't have a specific DAW I use, so I figured Audacity would be fine just for recording. The problem is that I don't have any idea of how to record from my keyboard to my PC, I got a MIDI-USB adapter but when I plug everything in I just can't see the keyboard on the devices menu, it's just the cable so I don't know if I need a driver or if I'm doing anything wrong so if someone knows how to do this I would appreciate it a lot 🙏🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 If you want to record the sound of the keyboard, you need to connect the phone/output jack to the computers line input jack. MIDI does not transmit sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Saucier Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Any drivers would be for the USB to MIDI adapter connected to your computer. The CTK-900 does not need drivers since it does not have an internal USB port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
