But the new keyboard (Yamaha) has usb to usb port and cable only not midi in/out prots. the keyboards with usb and midi ports costs 30000 indian bucks and i am not in position to spend that much money at present. Kindly advice if i buy the yamahs usb to usb keyboard will it satisfy all the midi recording requirements. Kindly help me Awaiting :)
I checked the Yamaha site and apparently you can transfer midi via a USB connection. YOu need the appropriate software but I assume that will come with the keyboard. cheers john
