Use real keyboard as midi controller

BornInTheJunkyard · 03-13-2013, 09:22 PM

I have a Casiotone CT-640 and I got one of these guys the other day that go from midi in or out to USB.
(Go to ebay and look up midi keyboard usb controller to see an example)
I used to have an M-Audio USB keyboard and I wanted to use my keyboard as a USB keyboard, using the virtual instruments in Mixcraft 6 as the instruments.

I plugged the midi out into the midi out on my keyboard and set the chord/midi dial to "midi". My computer picks it up as a midi controller as soon as I plug it in but I can't get it to actually act like a USB keyboard.

Using Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit with a beast of a computer.

Any suggestions, thanks.
