how can i connect this keyboard to mixcraft 5 to use mixcraft 5 sounds instead of my yamaha psre403 sounds?

[keithy501]

@elgoose2003 I'm not familar with this software, however if it handles midi devices then it should see the keyboard as a midi input when the 403 is connected to the PC via the USB cable and the program should then read the midi note data when you press a key and play it's own sound

[princeicio]

No I'm not gonna download anything on the keyboard I'm gonna use the keyboard on the computer like a MIDI controller to record music on any musical software

Can I do that?

[keithy501]

@princeicio Yes, but you may be better off with a dedicated midi controller especially if you can get one with 88keys for the same price as a used E403

@keithy501 I'm sorry too much talking simply Can I use the keyboard ypg-235 to record music on computer?

[princeicio]

@keithy501 You mean to transfer sounds,tones,styles bla bla etc. into a memory of the keyboard?

what if I'm going to use the keyboard on a software like reason sonar or cubase do I need a good internal memory on the keyboard to play some different sounds on the keyboard running on a software record some music with different voices?

[keithy501]

@princeicio Style is the background music as you play the melody (that is the drums, bass, chords). Midi is a form of communication between instruments or computers and instruments which send details of note pitch, duration, loudness, type of instrument etc as a series of a string of numbers along a cable. A standard set of commands and numbers is used to represent the musical information. The midi file just consists of this data and can be decoded, played back as a song by a midi enabled device

@keithy501 Excuse me what is styles & Midi files? sorry I don't know too much about that..

[keithy501]

@princeicio If you're going to play piano type pieces more, go for 76 keys. Larger memory only useful when transfering new styles or if you want to play midi files
