MIDI interface needed? Does this mean you need to buy a MIDI interface chord seperately?

Hi Ling, This keyboard has a USB-MIDI interface, so it uses a standard USB port, and uses that to send MIDI data to your computer. So, you have no need for a separate MIDI cable - just plug your LPK25 into your computer's USB port, start up your MIDI software, and rock & roll. :)

No. This is a midi controller. You need a computer with ableton, pro tools, etc. or a FM tone generator or similar.

The standard midi out doesn't work unless you get the (not included) power cable. Definitely get that first.

No, there is not a good, smart or inexpensive way to convert USB "output" to MIDI. You should find a product that comes with a conventional MIDI out port such as Alesis Q49.

A audio interface is optimal, but it should work with the stock one in computer. A midi keyboard controller would also be good to have (I'm just using a 30 year old midi capable synth and it works fine as a keyboard input to the Virtual Synths in Reason, but if your doing strictly audio recording, you'll be fine without one. If your into synths, most of the coolest Reason Synths aren't included in essentials, but the Line 6 Amps sound really good for bass and guitar. Good luck.

It's not a keyboard, it's a midi controller. You need a PC/Mac with speakers + software to use this.

Yes you can do it . Indeed it I use it like this . You have to buy a USB to midi cable that's all

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I couldn't get the midi interface to work with my computer.

It has Midi, I seems like it would. I haven't used it with midi yet, but if you have some time of midi connection or rack, you can probably use it to control reason. I use Ableton tho.

First you will need a MIDI cable to connect this to your PC/sampler. Then you will need to configure this as a MIDI device on said device. This very much depends on which DAW/sampler you are using to trigger the samples. There is likely several steps, all of which would be different for any other DAW/sampler, to setup your MIDI devices and then additional steps to add samples and assign them to the trigger pads. This is not the place to get support for an individualized setup. Support forums and/or user manuals for your DAW/sampler will give you a lot more information.

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.

Yes, this requires a computer as this is basically a controller for recording software which is why it is called a "MIDI Keyboard Controller"

Yes you can. Both actually. If it connects via midi you can hook it right into the maschine. If it connects via USB then just plug it into your computer and the software will pick it up. Just go to audio and midi settings and make sure your keyboards input is turned on.
