Cheapie Yamaha Question....

[getuhgrip]

I've got this Yamaha PS-270 (yup, built-in speakers).

I just got a C-Port soundcard and the breakout box has midi in and out as does the Yamaha.
What does this allow me to do?

Can I use this thing as a midi controller with sample software, or does it just mean I can record it's sounds direct in?

What are the possibilities?

If I didn't know any better, I'd think that Sonusman was at it again.

Grip, you should know better than to think you'll get the sounds from your Yammy outta the midi port.

You can use the PS-270 as a controller if it has a "MIDI Out" port and it can also be controlled if it has a "MIDI In" port.

Did I help ya?

Should have been a newbie question but I see you have a 1000 posts.
As Krakit said you can use this keyboard as a controller. I have the yamahaPSR 420 and thats all I use it for as the built in sounds are ok but not to my standards. I use software synths such as bass, drums, keys, effects and more. It works great for this purpose.
