Kawai Synthesizers

Okay, a little closer!

I have downloaded a small test utility called MIDIOX and sure enough 
I can press a key on the K1 and hear the assigned instrument out of 
th headphones attached to the PC. So, all the hardware is working.

The fault must lie in how I have my sequencer software configured. I 
have been told that the DMX 6Fire wavetable is only useable if I 
hvae the extension board attached (and I don't); otherwise I will 
hear nothing (which I am).

I therefore need to assign the MS Wavetable but how? How do I tell 
CuBase to use the MS Wavetable?

Equally, how do I then assign a particular instrument from that 
wavetable onto the mixer channel I wish to record on?
