May 25, 2009  After some research I found a solution, and from Yamaha ironically. Turns out Yamaha makes some USB-MIDI keyboards similar to the Casio and that their driver patch will work with your WK-110. Sirius website. So do a Google search for 'Yamaha USB-MIDI Drivers v1.1.0 for Mac OS X.' This should bring up a bunch of websites that offer the driver. In regard to keyboards Casio do not provide any driver support for MAC connectivity via a USB to USB connection. However, keyboards with USB or MIDI out may be able to take advantage of third party products such as cables that may allow connectivity to a MAC.

The Casio CTK-720 portable keyboard includes everything you need to. Use the USB port on the CTK-720 control MIDI functions with the keyboard on your. To access the MIDI functions of the keyboard, you must install the drivers for the.

The CTK-651 is an older board that uses 5-pin DIN MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT connections. It does not have the 'To Host' USB connection of the newer boards for connection to a computer. That means you will need to use a USB-MIDI adapter to connect its MIDI-IN/OUT connections to a USB port on your MAC Book. You only need drivers for the hardware device that connects DIRECTLY to your computer - in this case - the USB-MIDI adapter. The adapter, in turn, provides the interface to the keyboard, so you do not need Casio drivers - just the adapter drivers from its manufacturer.

• I also have had a Casio Keyboard as a present, the CTK-720. But then I found a GoggleCode project to provide Mac OS X USB MIDI drivers for Casio keyboards.

If you obtain an adapter manufactured in the past few years, it should be Class or CORE MIDI compliant and will use the generic drivers that are already built-in to MAC-OS. You just connect the adapter to the MAC Book and it will automatically load the drivers and connect. Truly Plug-n-Play! If you already have an older adapter that is not Class compliant, you will need to obtain MAC OS compatible drivers from the adapter's manufacturer. If you do not already have an adapter, make certain you obtain one that is Class/CORE-MIDI compliant. Also, avoid the $5 and $6 units, as they have no end of problems connecting to Casio equipment. You should expect to spend around $10-$15 (USD) for a reliable one from Amazon, etc.

If you are not familiar with the adapter I am describing, here is a link to several examples: Be sure to get one that has BOTH MIDI-IN AND MIDI-OUT connections, a single connection adapter will not do you much good. A unit with 6 feet or so of cables is best. The single piece units that plug directly into the computer's USB port are good for damaging the port, if they get bumped. When you get the adapter, the MIDI-OUT of the keyboard connects to the MIDI-IN of the adapter and the MIDI-OUT of the adapter connects to the MIDI-IN of the keyboard. If you connect IN to IN and OUT to OUT, it will not work.

According to the MainStage website, it should work with either 5-pin DIN or USB MIDI connections, so there should be no problem using it with the adapter. Since you are planning on using this live on-stage, you might want to go a little higher on the price, or buy two or three to have a back-up or two. You might also want to consider a reasonably priced MIDI controller keyboard that has a 'To Host' USB connection and go with a single cable setup from the keyboard to the MAC Book - particularly one that comes with a set up template for MainStage.

But at least you fixed it this time. Anyway, for your keyboard, the General Midi mode is defaulted to 'Off.' So until you can figure out how to turn it on, there is no signal getting to Garageband. So do you have a 'setting' button? Press it until the 'GM Mode' screen appears. Should look like: 'of GM Mode' Use the + button to turn it on. It will show: 'on GM Mode' Now press the Setting button until the Keyboard Channel screen appears.

Use the + button if you need to to specify: '01 Keybd Ch' Now see if Garageband can sense your midi input. Click to expand.GG - Google Groups - the method that you chose to post to this group.

With your keyboard hooked up with the USB cable, General Midi mode 'on,' Keyboard channel on '1,' Navigation channel on '4,' and Local 'on' (you get all those by pressing the 'setting' button). Open the Utilities folder (in the Application folder) and start 'Audio MIDI Setup.'

Work through the Help menu to see if you can find your Casio there. You may have to create a 'device' to get your Mac to talk with the Casio. If it works, let me know as I'd like to think that my brain cells haven't all been depleted by sub-sonics.
