if your keyboard has an usb port, connect it, if it has a midi port, buy a midi to usb converter, connect it and start ableton. add a device to your project using the panel on the left. configure that device, click the note sign which turns into red after you click. you cn find that button on the device you created. when you play , you should be hearing the sound of the device you created.

be careful, you should connect your keyboard before you run the software.

You might also use the "MIDI" button up top right...Press it and everything should turn blue...click on certain items on the screen that you would like to control with your keyboard and then press the key on the keyboard you would like to map that function to. click on the "MIDI" button again and you should be able to use that function of your keyboard
