Hi!,


Umm first of all i am sorry if my question isn't very clear x_x ( I really suck with computers and wires)
I want to somehow connect my electronic piano to my laptop so that when I press a key on the piano, the note appears on my Finale 2010 ( so that anyone can compose easily). My piano has an output and a input midi. My laptop has a USB plug only. So how do i connect a midi wire to a USB computer???@_@. Thanks in advance!:lol:

You just need the MIDI usb cable. That is all. :)

:O!
a single wire!?!?? :O so if my tiny brain got this right, on one end there is a midi thing and on the other end there is a usb thing??? thats much more easier than what i thought....XD :D thx a lot!!!

Something like that.

A lot of newer pianos have forgone the MIDI interface and instead use a direct USB connector. Check with your piano first before buying a connector.

thx a lot, i had already verified my piano for a USB connector but it only has a midi thing probably because its kind of old

I you connect your piano with computer must needed the software and supported driver other wise you can not attach the piano with your computer. And read the piano manual or contact the piano shop keeper.
