Hello,
I am greatly confused with all of these USB and MIDI connections. I was seeking to purchase a Casio CDP220 at Costco to use with this program. I have windows Vista 64 bit OS. After speaking with Casio it seems their keyboards are only good with XP, Vista 32 bit, and Windows 7. I am assuming that no matter what MIDI interface I buy that it will not work with my OS and a Casio? After talking to someone from Yamaha they said the keyboard doesn't matter but it is only the MIDI that I chose to use with it that will work with the Vista 64 bit. Is it that Yamaha does not have drivers in the keyboard but only in the external MIDI but Casio does have keyboard drivers? I am very confused. Please help!!!

Any MIDI compatible keyboard can be connected to computers. MIDI interface is the key of connection. After Win 7 came most of the keyboard/cables manufacturers had to build special drivers for it.
This is where the confusion came from IMHO.
In our store, for instance, we have one chord that works with Win 7 www.pianolearningsoftware.com/M-Audio-MI...with-Win-7_p_50.html (have drivers for it)
and another - not www.pianolearningsoftware.com/USB-MIDI-Interface_p_34.html (have not)

Vista suppose to work with the second one. You can get it, try on our Demo and if not working, return it.

Hello,
I am even more confused now. I did purchase the Casio keyboard from Costco. Now I understand why Casio said the keyboard is not compatible with Vista 64 bit. It is because instead of a MIDI in and MIDI out the MIDI is somehow built into the keyboard itself and only a USB connects the computer to the keyboard. So now I have no idea how to get this to work except to get a new computer with windows 7? I am assuming since the soft mozart software works with windows 7 and the Casio keyboard says it is compatible with windows 7 that all I would need to do is connect with a USB? I will contact you to find out how to return the MIDI cable. Thanks for any help.

If you purchased the MIDI cable from us, don't hurry to return it: we'll give you refund any time.
Please, try to connect computer and keyboard first and see what is going to happen.
