The sounds will come out of the same place they would if the computer wasn't there at all and you were playing the keyboard normally. If you want to record them into the computer, make an audio connection between Line Out of the keyboard and Line In of your computer. CubaseFAQ page www.laurencepayne.co.uk/CubaseFAQ.htm

I do have everything hooked up according to instructions and when I go to record, nothing gets recorded. I have bank and patch settings too. This is confusing. The help file for Cakewalk doesn't give you a simple explanation. Like to get C do A and B. A lot of it assumes you have mastery of this and I do not. I've been too lazy all these years with analog recorders that I guess I have a lot of catching up to do. The problem is that i'm getting frustrated with something that would seem "simple"...to me anyway. Maybe I'll just do all my tracks live, but I don't want to pass up on all the MIDI advantages.
Many PSR's require you to enable midi out on the keyboard, have you checked the PSR manual.

Yes. I did everything to the letter. Maybe it's because I have an external and internal sound card. I don't know. I've been trying to troubleshoot this all day.
Hi, I just got through the same frustrating experience. I read the help file and it solved my problem (my cables were reversed...). From the help file: "I Can't Record from My MIDI Instrument If you are unable to record music from your electronic keyboard, synthesizer, or other MIDI instrument, first test to see if you are able to play back a song through the keyboard. Then try the following: Possible problem. What to do. No MIDI input device is selected. Choose Options-MIDI Devices, and check the Input device list. Make sure that the MIDI input on your computer sound card is highlighted. Your MIDI cables are reversed. Make sure that the MIDI Out plug is connected to the MIDI In jack on your keyboard and that the MIDI In plug is connected to the MIDI Out jack on your keyboard. You have not set up Cakewalk to record Make sure that 1) you have chosen a source for the track; 2) you have armed the track for recording; and 3) you have pressed the Record button, and not the Play button. If none of these suggestions works, check our web site for additional suggestions or contact technical support."

But so often people say they have set up > exactly right, and everybody starts talking at cross purposes. The original post had more detail: "ok, i hooked up my sythn to my windows based pc. i'm using cakewalk 2002. how do i get the sound to come out of my speakers? i'm using a yamaha psr-gx76 with a yamaha cbx driver." Running W98SE P3 256 MB ram. The out and in are hooked up to the keyboard which in turn is hooked up to my internal sound card. I went into CW's software and told it which device to connect to. Man, I must be a fucking idiot. I also had a problem just trying to use microsofts recorder. i finally figured that out so i can record directly into CW now, but the midi part still isnt working at all. Right now I have my stereo out of my analog recorder plugged into my external sound card. I'd really like to get my midi working though, considering how much i paid for those cords.
CJ I will confess to not being too well up on midi myself... but is it possible that you need to enable "midi thru" in cakewalk (I use pro audio 9, but other sequencer software I've used had to have this enabled before I could use the controller keyboard I have connected)? Just throwing another idea into the pot ;-) Regards Fretbuzz "cj" <spamnada@cojones.com> wrote in message news:miT1b.1887$t57.952@nwrdny01.gnilink.net... > > "Old Nick" <nsnfwhite@iinet.net.au> wrote in message > news:3f47f8a6.129365969@localhost... > > On Sat, 23 Aug 2003 22:58:05 GMT, "cj" <spamnada@cojones.com> wrote > > something > > ......and in reply I say!: > > > > > > Post more details.

Thanks. That helped. I must be a real dumbass. Amazingly, I do data analysis for a living. Go figure.
