Hey folks!
So...I've done a search for the answer to my ridiculously simple newbie question, but haven't found an answer...I recently bought a keyboard (a used Casio) with MIDI I/O and an audio interface with MIDI I/O. At present all I want to do is to send signals from the keyboard to the computer through the audio interface...so...do I need to buy only one MIDI cable (MIDI out from the keyboard to MIDI in to the audio interface) or am I still going to need two MIDI cables?
I did just find this in a MIDI tutorial:
"MIDI Interface OUT--------->Keyboard MIDI IN (if you are only using your software synths this connection is not required. If you want the computer to play the sounds on your keyboard, or if you want to connect a 2nd module it is required)"

Doesn't this seem to suggest that I don't need the second cable, provided that I don't want to use the keyboard sounds? My plan (at present) is to use the synth sounds in cubase...
THANKS in advance!
