Am a newbie....so,... this must be in it's port when I enter my cubase activation code? It's the connecting link?

I'm not sure about Cubase. I use it for my Arturia VST plugins and it allows me to have access to them on both my desktop and laptop, given the drive is plugged in. I assume it's a similar situation for your DAW (Cubase). As far as I know, if you only need access to Cubase on one computer, then you shouldn't need the Steinberg Key. It's meant for transferring the licensing from one platform to another.

Yes the 'Key' carries all your activation codes for the various pieces of software.
1680296
Yes. Your license is stored on the key and Cubase will not start unless the key is connected.

Open Maschine, go up to 'File', 'Audio and MIDI Settings...' under device choose 'built-in' if you want it to come thru you computers internal speakers of headphone out. If you have an interface plugged in that should also show up under devices.

Yes you need it plugged in all the time when running cubase 7, but the good news is that this bundle comes with a usb elicencer so you don't need to buy one seperately

this is a midi controller, you have to plug it into a computer and run the software to get it to make sound.

Mine came with both in and out stereo cable (dim5 to small stereo 2.5mms I guess).No software included. I haven't find any Free App that use this Midi Interface, at least none that seems useful.Please do some research before buying. I didn't, and the results is that I barely use it.

I'm hoping I can post links here. I haven't even opened my box yet, but this clip shows some settings you may want to check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6EJ6JiLTM If my link has been removed, go to youtube. Search "novation launchkey 25 ableton live". It's about the 7th video down in the search results. There are Japanese characters in the description, but don't worry, the audio is in English. I hope something from those Youtube results can help you.

Its an older interface that was designed for older legacy type pc's. Hard to say. Most of us had problems getting it to work with the software that comes with it which is Cubase. It did show up on Audacity but I could not get it to show on the Cubase 5 that came with it. I had no mixing in/out. You got a figure the price. As you can see from other anwsers we all switched. I switched to TasCam which has a nice clear sound using a simple cheap Pyle PK 4 on stand.

Used a Midi to usb cable & driver made by "M Audio" to connect my microkorg to my pc. M Audio has since then been bought out by Avid, so the newer version of that cable is probably even better now. The other way to connect it is thru a DAW such as MBOX. There are midi inputs on the hardware that will interface with protools.

I'm still trying to get mine to work. I have Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the driver and still no luck. I'm new to all this and I'm using a Roland HD3 electric drum set / Mbox with Pro Tools Express/ and Easydrummer. I have better luck using a regular midi cable.

It should work out of the box. It will appear in your DAW as a midi device.

Chen, Yes Cubase 7 needs it. Your package should contain one. Do not worry!!

I think you must to ask directly to the software house, I use the Cubase which licence is included.

I use my dd65 for sequencing on my computer using Cubase Elements 7. To do this you would need a midi to usb adapter which was part of the package I bought with Cubase. You can use any midi to usb adapter and any DAW software. If you wish to record the audio output of the dd65 simply plug the same output that you used with your mp3 player and plug into the audio in jacks on your computer. You can use the same output to plug into any amplifier or mixing console. If you need more info, go to yamaha's website and download the owner's manual. It will give a wealth of information on hookup and uses. Also gives a complete listing of all the drum and percussion sounds available on the dd65. Good Luck!

There are two main ways to connect your instruments to your PC to access the software; one is to buy an audio interface; this is a very basic setup in which you can plug a guitar or instrument into the interface which then sends the data via USB to your software; you also monitor output through the interface. The second way, this is how I do it, is to buy a small mixer which has what is referred to as a "control room" section; this allows you to hook instruments, mics etc to the mixer, feed them into the computer through the PC's line in jack, and monitor the output without creating a feedback loop; I like it best because you don't have to worry about that awful latency problem, the delay between playing and hearing what you played... with this setup you can hook up as many instruments as there are inputs on the mixer; if you play keyboards at all, consider buying a midi controller keyboard, these usually require only a single USB cable to send the signal in and power the keyboard itself, and Mixcraft6 recognized my old midi controller without my having to reinstall the drivers, which was excellent... hope this wasn't too wordy to understand; bottom line, I think buying a mixer is your best bet; you can use headphones or hook it up to a stereo system and listen through speakers.

I usually start the music once its docked. and it works fine. Have you already sent the box back? Reason I ask is because the packaging is deceiving... On the box is just has Im600, what you need to look for is on the bottom of the box where the serial number is printed just below it has im600USB printed in small text. When I go home tonight I'll send you the UPC code it has printed.

Ya, use with alesis, kaosscilator and yamaha djx...pretty much the same as midi to midi cables, auto detect under windows and linux. Midi data only...for command and control. Will NOT record audio. (That's not what they are for.)

I never tried it as I never needed to, but theoretically it should. The device should be recognized as both audio interface and midi interface, as most audio interfaces with midi ports should. Hope this helps!
