Hi, I have a privia PX-130 keyboard that is supposed to essentially be a plug n' play USB keyboard controller. I have been able to use this keyboard on windows with mix craft however I have not been able to get it working on my other computer that is running Linux Ubuntu Studio 14.10. I am searching for a program that my keyboard will work with I have tried many of the programs built into Ubuntu studio but have not gotten them to successfully sample sounds with my keyboard like I could with mix craft.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.Joel Ps sorry if I put this in the wrong section on the forum I'm new here.

The output of your keyboard makes midi signals but you need something to take midi and make some sound.
An easy one is Qsynth which plays sf2 sample packs (which are freely available with some google searches). Or perhaps easier is a synthesizer like Amsynth because it will make sound without needing to load any files. Once you have started one of these programs it creates new jacks, one input for the midi, one or two outputs for the sound (2 for stereo). Connect your keyboard to the synth midi input, and connect the output to your system speakers jacks. Once the connections are made you should be able to play the keyboard and hear sound. If you don't, come on back and we can help you.
(Or hop onto #opensourcemusicians on IRC for some more immediate help). The reason for all this messing around with virtual jacks is so you can connect your synthesizer to go to an effects program, then to a recording program and everywhere else you want it.
Its very powerful. I googled on the px-130, says that they do not require drivers, class compliant usb midi, so should just work when you plug it in. There was some site having issues on a mac thinking they needed drivers. And then they mention switching usb modes via pressing a function key and usb key(storage/midi).
So turn it on, plug up the midi cable, then at a terminal run 'dmesg', this will dump kernel messages, the end of it should show some USB messages stating what USB device is connected. You can also run 'lsusb' in the terminal and look for your casio px-130. It should show something. Assuming it acts as a standard USB midi device, it should just appear in qjackctl ALSA connections list, and you can drag and drop connect it to say a synth like amsynth or yoshimi and then get notes played from the keyboard.
You can see the same ALSA midi devices using command line tools like aconnect -i You may alsa have to connect qjackctl Audio from Yoshimi to system to get that routed. But it needs to show up as a USB device first in lsusb and dmesg. If it doesn't show up, try holding function key in while pressing usb key would be something to try. You could post what you see on these commands. If it shows up on lsusb, add the -v option and post what it says about the px-130.

Oh, I see now, you already have the USB midi working. So maybe you just need to route the synth to the audio card. Yoshimi has a built in keyboard and you should be able to use that and hear sounds to verify audio works. You can also run a midimonitor app and connect it to the keyboard midi and see the messages coming from keyboard.
Make note of the channel number, normally keyboard default and send via midi channel 1 which should be the default channel a synth is going to recognize. Oh, and you mention Qjackctl Patchbay, don't use that. You want the 'Connect' button/dialog, ALSA tab and AUDIO tab, don't worry about the JACK tab, that can be empty.
Hello I have a Casio CDP 130 Digital Piano and my daughters use it to practice their worship music for church and they need more sounds on it. They need string instrument sounds so that they can practice some of the songs. I think that you can hook up a USB cable to the Digital Piano and then hook it up to your laptop but I am unsure of the software that you need or even if it is possible to do. Also is there a way to hook it up to a cheaper model Casio electronic keyboard to use the sounds off of that? Hello and welcome to the forums. The usb jack on the CDP-130 is for use with a computer. It will send note data to any midi software that you wish to use.
This is called acting as a 'midi controller'. The software on your computer becomes the sound source and the keyboard acts as the keys for it.
This let's you use external sounds that go beyond the built in tones on the Casio. The choice of software is huge. These are often called 'software synthesizers'. They come in standalone applications or VST plug ins for use in host applications we like to call 'DAW's' (Digital Audio Workstations). Some are free, some are very expensive. Let us know what you decide and we will see what we can do to help. As far as the CDP-130 controlling another Casio keyboard, that is not possible without additional hardware.
Without going into the complex details, I think this is something you will want to avoid. As I mentioned in the other thread You CAN use your CDP as a controller for other MIDI hardware using a Kenton USB MIDI Host controller or your computer as a USB MIDI Router controlling, but not limited to other keyboards, (MIDI And/Or USB) as well as Hardware MIDI Rack Modules such as a Ketron SD1, SD2 or SD4 or a Peavey Musebox or a used or new Yamaha Motif Rack Module or even a used Korg Triton Rack.
Your daughter does not need to give up her CDP keyboard at all and you can add the sounds of $2000 synths to it for a fraction of the cost of buying another keyboard. Once you are hooked up with an appropriate MIDI router you will be able to control any other synth on the circuit to do layers, splits or single voices with the push of a few buttons. For a link to the Kenton MIDI Host see the other thread linked above. For a decent freeware MIDI Routing package take a look at the MIDIOx home page or sourceforge for another freeware named Catia. Do you know if casio has a download that you can download more sounds through the Midi cable on your laptop so that when the laptop is hooked up to the digtial piano the sounds will play through the laptop?
It sounds to me like you need a standalone software instrument to make things easy. Native Instruments and Arturia are two companies that make some really good ones. If you give me an idea of the sounds you are looking for I can suggest one. After you have the software installed, you just hook up a USB cable from the Casio to the computer and do a quick set-up in the software.
When you play the Casio it will trigger the sounds on the computer, so you will need to run a cable from the computer to your amp or mixer. It's pretty simple.

Again, give me an idea of what sounds you need and I can suggest a software title for you. Welcome to the world of MIDI!
