You need some knid of cable, if you don't have it then we can't help.

At least thats what I think... ¬_¬

[LeidUndElend]

Seems you'll need midi cables, if I'm correct. You should be able to get them online for about seven dollars.

Download page for the Casio ctk-900 manual

Yes, manuals will help you nowadays. It will tell you what kind of cable you need, probably a usb to usb, and probably show you how to get a driver to be able to use it on your pc.

MIDI cabel mate. thats what you'll be needing.

; and did you know it stands for musical instrument digital interface? seems my time studying music tech isnt going to waste afterall lol

lord god why would you post this is general.. us in audio would have gladly helped you without the cock and aids jokes.. anyway you need a midi interface that attaches to your computer and midi cables.. and something on your comp that can record it... you then use your comp to set up your midi comtrols wich would most likely would be in your settings.

i dont know what software you are using so i cant tell you how to set that up.. but just make sure your comp recognizes the keyboard as a midi controller

Midi cable.

Either that, or your keyboard uses a USB cable, in which case you'll need special drivers and software.

[BlindPatriot]

google the phrase

usb midi interface

You should find a couple like the yamaha ux16 and one other from maudio. Read the specs see what sounds like it'd work and buy it. they're only like 40$

This.

And you might have got a CD with your keyboard to install a program on your computer so that it'll recognise your keyboard. I know my Casio CTK-800 did. Do this and you should be fine.
