I'm currently trying to do everything on reaper and thank you ahead of time for trying to help

I just dont understand why im lagging more when using DAW incomparasin to proteusVX

Because the initial setting in Reaper and proteus are different.
You have to go into the preferences and adjust the asio settings.

Open reaper, Go into options-preferences. Go into devices and by the sounds of it you are using the Direct sound option. Next to where it says Audio System there will be a drop down menu. Click on it and change from Direct sound to the ASIO driver. After you have done this you may need to configure the outputs but apart from that you should be good to go. Load up a synth and see if it has worked. The sound will be coming out of your external sound card so you may need to plug in some speakers or headphones, if you havent already done so.

The way to utilize the internal sounds from your cdp-120 is through an external mixer.

Plug the outputs of the keyboard into the mixer and connect the mixer to your speakers - which you're tring to avoid buying, if I read your posts correctly.

You'll need to plug the outputs of scarlett 2|4 into the mixer, and if you need to buy a mixer too get one big enough to accomodate all 4 outputs of your interface.

Here's a link to one example:
Behringer XENYX 802 Mixer | Musician's Friend

Also, here's a link to some modest monitors - enough to get you started
M-Audio STUDIOPHILE AV 40 Red Edition | Musician's Friend
Numark NPM5 Active 5" Studio Monitors | Musician's Friend

To sum it up, you need to spend roughly $200 to get rid of your latency. And your idea of using your keyboard's speakers as monitors is not going to work.

He doesnt need gear, he just needs to change his preference settings

THe problem i am running into now is that i cant get any sound from the keyboard through the computer to my Scarlett. Right now i have the Audio System set to ASIO, The ASIO Driver is ASIO4ALL v2 and the first and last input is scarlet 2i44 USB 1 &2 and the output range first and last is Scarlett 2i4 USB 1 & 2. Any tips?

Ooo i actually got it to work. I just had to load a synthesizer to get sound. Do you guys know of any good piano VSTi? I wa shoping i could get a free one just to start with. BTW all the latency is gone... THanks!

Great. Download the demo of this: Pianoteq - Pianoteq 4

Great sound and a very small CPU hit. The demo has a couple of black notes missing but the stage version is just 99ees and is a very useful recorder/ MIDI exporter in its own right.
