Hello all,

I am obviously new to midi in every possible way. Know how to play a keyboard, know how to work a computer, but can't seem to figure out how to get the keyboard to play with my working computer. As you may have guessed from the title I recently purchased a Yamaha PSR-GX76 under the impression from the very confident sales-person that it would be as simple as plug and play to record midi files onto my computer. After a few initial failures, a copy of Cakewalk 9.0 was purchased and installed as well as a midisport 1x1 to hook the thing up to my USB. Well, based on the flickering lights Calkwalk seems to have no problems sending information, but the keyboard has problems receiving as well as sending. I've been browsing through the less than helpful manual for a few good hours now and decided to seek help from you guys.

My big question...

Can this keyboard even do anything? All references in the instructions seems to imply that it is limited to backing up data that cannot be further edited anyway (something I have not been able to accomplish either).

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and all that.
