How do I integrate an M-Audio Keystation 88 with Cubase 14?

Wow. Is that the time! 3 ‘o clock already.

I’m down in my diary to be watching Tipping Point, The Chase, Randall and Hopkirk (deceased), and Minder. But I’ll be back in about 10 hours. That should give you enough time to Google anything you don’t know.

I found some Philps 11’ cables W/‘gold’ connectors at Staples. $21.99. Quality? Yes? No? I could get these today.

What cable are you talking about? Midi or USB, or both?

USB. Staple doesn’t carry MIDI cables.

Pete, I see Cubase 15 just got released. How long will Cubase 15 be good for before Cubase 16 arrives?

And is there a trial period for Cubase 15 Artist this time? Thanks.

Assuming the cables you currently own are all working correctly, you don’t actually need any additional cables.
Steinberg always offers trial licenses for Cubase. Just download and install via Steinberg Download Assistant and you’re good to go.

@Pete_Cockcroft I have worked professionally in the audio world for over 2 decades and have a degree in electrical engineering. What are your credentials? Snark won’t get you anywhere trying to defend snake oil.

If it’s just for your keyboard Midi then the Phillips should be ok. But make sure it has ‘90 Ohms’ somewhere on the documentation. You are looking for USB2.

If streaming digital audio from the keyboard, then a 3m Supra cable would be the best choice at £50.

Thanks. Yes., USB2. That’s the ‘square’ looking connector on one end and the regular ‘flat’ type USB connector on the other. Correct Pete?
