keyboard and audio interface

[robertnat]

i need your expert advice yet again. i have a really old yamaha psr-500 keyboard and i would like to connect that to my usb audio interface(ed u-8) and then use that to control absynth from native instruments. can someone please tell me how to do it right? i tried to connect the midi in from keyboard to midi out in u-8 but won´t work!!!!!!!!would appreciate any help! thankx in advance!!!!!!

I think you got it backwards. If you're using the keyboard as the controller, you want to connect the keyboard's MIDI OUT to the U-8's MIDI IN.

hi, got home and tried everything. the suggestion was spot on! thanks again for that. so absynth responds to my keyboard and everything....now another problem has arisen. how do i run absynth in cubase so i can actually listen to the other parts of the song when recording? i know it has something to do with vst plugin? help would be much appreciated! thanx
