Re: USB to Midi In/Out

2002-08-08 by ubec2002

Thanks for all your help.  I took a two hour lunch break and headed 
home to give it a try and it did work !!!  I had to play with MIDI 
input port on CakeWalk.  However I wonder if I could record from the 
DKV to my laptop.

What I really had in mind when I intended to record directly from the 
keyboard/DKV to my laptop is to remedy the memory constraint off my 
DKV.  I have dozens of 3.5 Pianosoft disks.  I have copied a few 
songs from each disk over to the DKV memory so I can replay them as 
my favorite selections.  However, I'm running out of room.  I was 
hoping I could copy (or at least sequence) them over to my laptop.

Any suggestions?  

Again, thanks for everbody who posted replies... even for just the 
laughs :-)
