I use Sibelius, Synthesia and other musical software. Work perfectly unless you don't know how to set up. Each program require different set up. And I think that all digital pianos with midi/usb connection should be worked with all software.

Hi Marcel. I'm trying to use my Celviano AP 620 as a controller with my Sibelius music software, but although I followed all the proper steps, in the right order, the Celviano will not show up in Sibelius as an available input device. It shows up in the WIndows XP Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Hardware as working properly, but Sibelius doesn't recognize it for some reason ...

This is a midi interface, you need to connect this to a "brain" that can be a computer or even an ipad or iphone with the correct usb cable. Remember, without a computer this is only a device with a set of piano like keys that won't make any sound.

Whether or not the keyboard works depends on how it communicates with the computer. The purpose of this adapter is only to be able to connect the keyboard to the newer computers that only use USB ports to connect with accessories.

It does have a usb port on the back, you may be able to do that with a 3rd party program? But on the board itself, it has rhythms and beats you can play while you are playing. Hope this helped!

You can use the navigation (arrow) keys on the keyboard for some things, use backspace or delete, "tab" to next "box" in a form, use the "enter" key after typing in a web address or a search, use the touch screen for everything else. Since I am a typist, I love the keyboard and found this one to operate very well. Sometimes the connection might be a little loose, so just pull it out and back in again or jiggle it a little. I was not aware that there are two USB ports -- one for keyboard and one for a mouse?

@ Marc JThis piano comes with its own AC adapter, I've had this piano for about six months now and it's incredible how good it is

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.

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

Like other have mentioned, you can hook up a keyboard and mouse with the USB port, it also has bluetooth that works great that you can connect things with as well.

The USB cable is only for charging. The keyboard actually connects via Bluetooth, even if it also happens to be plugged in to charge. You could even plug it into a different computer or a wall adapter to charge it while you're using it to connect to the computer in question. If you are asking if you can run a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard off of one USB Bluetooth adapter than you can.

This device connects to your computer via usb. You cannot connect a computer keyboard to this device. It does have a headphone output. Hope this helps.

The GTU-0088 does not have any USB ports. I asked the same queston of their support when I purchased my keyboard because I found the USB port on their older keyboard a nice convenience. The reason given is that USB ports have limited power capability (unless they are powered hubs). If a keyboard consumes just over half the available power the USB port has available, then a user plugs in (chains in line) another USB device consuming the same amount of power into the keyboard's USB port, the single USB port is overloaded and one or both the devices will fail. I also have a GT numeric keypad which does have 2 USB ports so I use that for USB memory sticks and my mouse. No problems. Hope this is helpful. The GTU-0088 does not have any USB ports.

One end of the cable has a USB plug that plugs into your USB port on your computer or iPad. The other end has two plugs: a MIDI In and a MIDI Out. After connecting the cable, the Finale Software found the connection and I entered the KORG Keyboard and that was it. Took less than 5-minutes.

There's one USB port that's for MIDI connections with a computer. Apparently songs can be uploaded or downloaded -- but I've never used this stuff.

No, you can't. However, you can connect this electronic piano to your laptop and plug your headphones into laptop to listen the music.

You can use an SD card at least. I think it has it's own sound formatting, but I haven't gotten into that at all yet. I believe though, that you can only play songs that you recorded from the piano onto the SD card. You can directly into your computer via USB, but we haven't done that either, so I don't know what you can do with it if anything. We do record songs onto the on-board hard drive to replay, but it only accepts one at a time--as soon as you record a new song, the old one is written over. I am sorry I don't know more, we use this piano mostly for playing, not as much for recording or playback. You can use an SD card at least.

This is untrue, I purchased mine a little over a month ago and mine has 3 usb ports. I also like this laptop. The only real draw back is the keyboard is cheaply made. But if you can get past that, its a good laptop for the price and has one of the larger hard drives for the laptops I was looking at. To give you an idea on how well it preforms is it can play the mmo final fantasy 14, with only a slight lag because it doesn't have that beefy internet connection capabilities. I hope this response helps.
