What piano keyboards work with cubase?

Any keyboard instrument which has a MIDI port should work. If the keyboard / controller doesn't come with drivers and software, then as long as it supports general MIDI standards it should work. I'm assuming you already have some sort of MIDI interface. If not and the keyboard is USB, your mileage may vary but most that are come with a driver and software to enable this.

How to Connect Your MIDI Keyboard to Your Computer?

The basic connection used for musical instruments to be connected to the computer is the Musical Instrumental Digital Interface, or also known as the MIDI. Through the MIDI, the instrument can be used with sequencing software or a music recording. Instruments such as keyboard can be connected to the computer to create music. If you have a MIDI keyboard, you can connect it easily to the computer, as long as your computer has a MIDI port in its sound card. In case your sound card doesn’t have this port, it is still possible to connect your MIDI keyboard to your computer. Here are some tips for getting set up: • Inspect the output ports at the back of your computer. A MIDI port is a circular port that has five pins around the inner edge. If your computer has a MIDI port, then you can simply insert the cable and you are connected and ready to play. • Have a universal MIDI connector. A universal MIDI connector has two MIDI plugs on one end while a joystick plug on the other end. Check the plugs and label which one is the plug for input while ignoring the out plug. • Buy a USB MIDI interface. If you don’t have a MIDI or a joystick port on your sound card, you can always purchase a USB MIDI adapter. This USB MIDI adapter has a USB connector on one side and a MIDI port on another side. • Install the drivers for the USB MIDI interface. The USB connector will have an accompanying disc for the driver installation so that it can function properly. In addition, software and programs will also be installed through the installation disc. Once you have your MIDI adapter, you can connect your MIDI keyboard and create high quality music. You can also configure your sound sequencer so that it will recognize your MIDI keyboard.
