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

(have drivers for it)
and another - not

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