Hardware/Software for Keyboard to PC Connection - 07/17/09 05:48 AM

Need some "how to" direction for connecting my PR604 to my PC running Windows XP. Have an Audigy (if that matters) soundboard and Band in a Box installed. Midi cables as well. No midi input on the PC. Have a midi converter cable that accepts the midi cable running from the SX PR604 that transitions into a mini RAC plug. Primary goal is to record PR604 output in a format that can eventually result in a PC based MP3 file. Need the "how to" and "missing item(s)" feedback.
Tim

Note: Synth model corrected per R.M.'s feedback.

It is a recording piano like a keyboard but more like a piano as in Clavinet
You probably need to get a midi to USB box to use midi from piano to computer
OR
run your left and right cords into a Y cord with a 1/6 inch stereo male plug and plut it into your sound card. Then you can record into computer sound recording software.

What ever happened to just plain words!!!

I know what a USB port is though I do not know what USB is in translation to words!!!

It took persistent questioning to learn that SX means "single drive"... What KN means I have no clue.(I do not need to know either).
I do know that KNSX7000 is the model name of my favorite electronic arranger piano keyboard!

'Travel anywhere whilst eating your cornflakes...!'
Ray - in the UK MP stands for Member of Parliament or Military Police and not PR604.
Anyway I've sorted Tim's problem...
Best wishes all
