Recording from a MIDI Keyboard onto a PC

Oct 29, 2005 1:08PM PDT

I've got a Casio LK-44 keyboard, which I've hooked up with MIDI cables to my Extigy sound card, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to record music from the keyboard onto the computer (Win XP SP2). I'm trying to use Cool Edit 2000 to record, but nothing's happening. I thought that I would need to change the Device on the options menu, but the only options under Waveform Record are Creative SB Extigy and Wave Mapper, and neither of those are working for me.

Any suggestions?

To record MIDI, you'll want a MIDI recorder.

Midi Sequencer

As Bob said, Cakewalk is the best known maker of midi software.

Another is www.voyetra.com

The software you want, goes by the generic name of sequencer software.

You can go to Google and do a search for

midi sequencer

You will get a large number of hits.
From that you will be able to find some free or trial sequencer software.
