The APC40 is to connect to your laptop to control the Ableton software. Abelton is a software used to make/record/perform music (you get a free basic copy when you buy the APC40). You can connect your keyboard to Ableton (not to the APC40) but you will usually need an additional piece of equipment for them to communicate with each other. I don't know if you can do pop, that's up to you really. As you are the one who will be creating the music lets be positive and say you can do whatever you want. In my opinion the Ableton software would be good for assisting you to write pop music. Hope it helps D

Yes and yes but you need the Ableton software before you can do anything with it

If you like music, you probably will not e satisfied with the sound from the laptop. when playing music, I always rout my sound to some external speakers or player.

I really don't know, my guess is you should be able to, if it I can install a music program you can very well play a computer, to be honest with you I don't really play any computer games so I'd give it shot.

You can hook it up to a speaker, but not with USB-- you just use an audio cable to connect a speaker (or a pair of speakers for stereo) to the keyboard's "HEADPHONES/OUTPUT" jack.

The software is just audio "soft-synths." The keyboard itself is plug-and-play, so it should work just fine for scales. Just keep in mind, it's a tiny keyboard, so scales might not be too natural-feeling. It's mainly for small/mobile laptop studio production.

You can plug it into your laptop's headphone jack (assuming it has one). However - my laptop has a crappy built-in sound card, so the audio quality was bad. I ended up getting a USB sound card (about $50) and plugged the speakers into that - much better. I'd say try it straight in first and see if you are OK with the sound.

Hi Gloria, I don't have any "top-of-the-line" keyboard, however, when I tried to get hook up my keyboard to it and run the mixer to the laptop I didn't hear a thing through the system or the main mix/phones on the mixer. I'm guessing you may need a Direct Input (DI) Box to pass the keyboard through first before routing to the mixer. Other than that, yes you should be able to do what you thinking of doing. Hope this helps. :)

If your keyboard has a 1/4 inch plug I couldn't see why not . I connect a guitar to amplitube with it with 1/4 inch headphone jack . It doesn't have a midi plug.

No, this is analog you need a soundcard for it. MAybe look for some external ones, not as good but better. Don't waste your money for this for a laptop.

Yes，it can be connected to a laptop,but it can not control the sound which can be controlled by iPhone ,iPad.Generally,it's good.

Hello,I own the keyboard and I dont even use the computer interface to play it. It is useable without the computer and I have put in batteries and played it on my bed even. A very fun instrument using the sound I found,(voice 82 and dsp) and yes you dont need a computer so rest assured.Sincerely,Michael E Litchmore

No this keyboards doesn't make sounds by itself, you can plug headphones into whatever you will use to make the soumds ie your computer.

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those.In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

It's a good speaker and you can pair it to any source. If you do it on your laptop B.T. you can choose the device from your computer. After you choose the device on your computer then pair on the speaker.

yes it can be connected using the audio output of your PC but for some reason the quality of the sound isn't good. Best is find another speaker

Don't see why not. I've done it with a laptop and radio receiver and the sound is great!
