User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know how it connects to Yamaha clp
Answer:	Make sure your keyboard is connected and recognized by your computer via USB/MIDI (e.g., proper drivers installed, if required). Please ask Yamaha for help if that part gives you trouble. Once you have established that your keyboard is recognized by your computer, then launch eMedia Piano and Keyboard Method and open "Instrument Setup" from the Options menu. Click the checkboxes are follows: 1) Electronic keyboard/piano, 2) Yes (connected via USB/MIDI), and finally 3) select "from my keyboard (speakers or audio output)" since your keyboard will produce its own sounds (best option for lowest latency). To confirm that everything is working correctly, play a few notes on your piano. You should see the "Keyboard test" light turn green in the window. Close the "Instrument Setup" window, and you're ready to go. You will hear the lesson content (songs, videos, etc) from your computer speakers, but the sound of your playing will come from your Yamaha piano. I hope that helps!
Question:	Does this come with a midi-usb connector
Answer:	Dear Molivia, my apologies for the delay. Since I bought the digital version (image of dvd plus the key) Im not sure! but it can be easily acquired here in Amazon, like I did. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Cable-Converter-Music-Keyboard/dp/B001LJUVO4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386874498&sr=8-1&keywords=midi+usb.
Question:	There are multiple MIDI keyboard sizes on Amazon from 25 to 88 keys. What is the minimum number of keys needed to successfully play all featured songs? I'd hate to be playing along and run off the end of the keyboard
Answer:	Chiming in from eMedia here. All of the songs and exercise in this curriculum can be played with a four octave (e.g., 49-key) keyboard. If you already one of these you will have no trouble using this course. If you are shopping for a new keyboard, you may wish to consider your future needs beyond the eMedia software. The range of a five octave keyboard is usually enough to accompany yourself with your left hand as you play a melody with your right hand, and if you search for "eMedia piano pack" you'll see a few inexpensive options that we offer bundled with this software. That said, the full range of the piano is a joy to experience so go for the full 88-keys if you have the budget. Wishing you lots of success!
Question:	I was led to beleive by some of the answers here that this program cam with a cable. But I didn't get one. Was there supposed to be any cables provided? I think my keyboard (also new and still in the box) only has a USB port. What cable would I need? *very blonde today* thanks for your patience
Answer:	Hi Julia...no, the software does not come with any type of cables. The answer to what type of cable you need to buy depends on what type of device you're planning on connecting to your keyboard. For example, if you're planning on using a computer - all computers use a rectangular connector (also known as a 'Type B' connector). You need to look at the back of your keyboard and determine what type of connector it requires. It may be rectangular (like your computer) or it may be square (also known as a 'Type A' connector. This will tell you if you need a Type A (because the keyboard has a square connector)/Type B cable (standard rectangular connector), or a Type B/Type B Cable. The Type A/Type B is most common and is nothing more than a standard printer cable. You can find those for around $6. No need to spend any more than that. Hope this helps.
