But I still go back to FL Studio on occasion since I have several projects I haven't ported to reaper.Įdit: and yes you should be able to use the Casio with Ableton. I'm also an FL user, but I've switched to using Reaper more often. Just keep in mind, midi is just strictly data/information such as note on/off, timing, expression/pitch/modulation/patch change, etc. I hope that helps, and that I wasn't too confusing. (so you'll have one track with the midi performance data that would send to the keyboard, and an additional separate audio/recording track would record the audio output from the keyboard)
However if you are going to use an existing midi file/data on a track to 'play' the keyboard, you'll need to connect the midi cables, and the audio cables as well to capture the keyboard's performance. I read the other thread as well, and I think the easiest way to use the sounds of the Casio would be to connect an audio jack to your interface/comp, and just record it straight that way. (if you're connecting the midi in through your audio interface, you'll need to select the interface's midi for any tracks that are supposed to receive or send midi to and from the keyboard.) You'll be able to send midi data to any software as long as the keyboard is connected.
Well, if the keyboard has midi in/out jacks, and you have the cables needed to connect it up, then it doesn't really matter which daw you use.
