I have a Concertmate 990 keyboard, late model computer with USB ports running Windows XP Professional, and NWC 1.75b. Please give me some guidance on what cables/adaptors I need to buy to get keyboard and NWC talking to each other via USB. The aim is to play on the keyboard and have NWC write the score of what is played. Please include recommendation, if you have one, as to where I can mailorder cables/adaptors -- company name, web address, phone, etc. Any other comments relevant to connecting keyboard/NWC and writing score from keyboard input are welcome.

Givens: Concertmate 990 (aka Casio CTK-601) keyboard NWC version 1.75b Windows XP with service pack 2 Problem, make keyboard and NWC talk to each other. I opted for a M-AUDIO MidiSport Uno Interface from Amazon, about $39. The interface came with a CD and I let the CD take over and do the installation. It started off saying plug in the interface so I did. ![]() Then after the install program ran, NWC could see the device but did not distinguish input from output. I unplugged the device from the USB port, waited several seconds, plugged it back in, and NWC could see it correctly, as a Midi-in and Midi-out. Canon imagerunner advance c5035 brochure. The automatic installation also said check the README on the CD, which I did after installation. The README gave steps for manual installation and referred to an install program that was not present on the disk. It also said to let the drivers get installed, then connect the interface, wait for Windows to see it, then start NWC and configure midi in and out. Conclusion is that I had almost no trouble, everything went smooth, I was up and running in about 5 minutes. My recommendation to anyone else installing this interface would be, use the automatic install on the CD but do not connect the interface when it says to. Wait until install is complete and the install program is shut down. Then connect interface, then configure NWC. BTW, the NWC configuration is: go to Tools/Options/Record and set the input device as USB Uno MIDI In. If you also wish to use the keyboard as an output, go to Tools/Options/MIDI and select USB Uno MIDI Out as your playback device. Before buying this device, search this site for all comments on it. There is some make of keyboard it will not work with but I don't remember just what it is. There is also a manufacturer's knowledge base; go to and search on MidiSport Uno. Thanks again to those who helped me earlier. 2007.01.13, addendum. Reviews of the Midisport Uno on Amazon indicate it will not work with Yamaha PSR series keyboards and perhaps other Yamaha models. • Last Edit: 2007-01-14 02:06 am by Joseph Mansfield. I'm using Windows Vista, and Musescore 1.3. The chronicles of narnia full movie. I've never used MIDI before and I would like to be able to just plug a MIDI capable keyboard directly into my computer, without hassle or extensive set up. I'm not that computer savvy, so I would rather avoid finding drivers, etc. I would appreciate suggestions for cables that are just plug and play, that are fairly inexpensive, and are known to work with Musescore. I've tried reading other posts about MIDI cables and either they sound too specific for me to gather info about what cables to try, or they are more about problems in Musescore itself. I would rather know what cables have worked for others before I go to buy one.
