Back in the day I had a Casio WK-110 keyboard. It had touch response, 77 keys, and General MIDI. I thought 'Not bad for $200!' However, upon opening I discovered that it lacked MIDI ports and instead used a USB connection to transmit MIDI data. The provided CD did not work in Mac OS X and I thought I was up a creek without a paddle.
The USB-MIDI driver is software that transfers MIDI data back and forth between PC software and Yamaha USB-MIDI devices. Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver Installation and Upgrade (for Mac) 1 Disconnect all USB devices other than the mouse and keyboard from the computer.
Luckily I have some experience with working with MIDI instruments and I was able to find drivers that would allow it to work, but this required some searching as Casio did not provide the drivers themselves. To prevent y'all from hitting a lot of dead ends, I'm here to help you get your Casio WK-110 working on Mac OS X so that you can use it with programs like Garage Band and Finale! THANK YOU VERY MUCH MATTHEW! Now it works perfectly!; ))))))))))) By the way, don't bother trying to contacting CASIO, this is the answer I got 5 days after mailing them: Thank you for your e-mail regarding your Casio keyboard. In regard to keyboards Casio do not provide any driver support for MAC connectivity via a USB to USB connection. However, keyboards with USB or MIDI out may be able to take advantage of third party products such as cables that may allow connectivity to a MAC. However, any issues surrounding support or connectivity for these products would need to be requested from the cable manufacturer directly.
Kind regard Casio Customer Support Such a shit customer service. I've been trying to use the information you provided regarding 'Finding Casio WK-110 MIDI Drivers: Getting Your Casio WK-110 MIDI Keyboard To Work With Mac OS X' but unfortunately I'm not getting any lucky.
I have tried everything you say but my MAC simply doesn't recognize the CASIO WK110. I've checked the version and it's the correct. The latest one - USB-MIDI Driver for Mac OS X (10.4.11 - 10.6.x) - as I'm using the OS X 10.5.3.
I've tried to install the Yamaha driver but somehow it never installs anything after the Installing Box finishes. So I tried to instal in a USB Memory Stick instead, That worked. I found all the drivers and the folders and copied then onto the MAC Library acordingly. I also restarted the computer just in case.
But nothing happened. I've just sent an email to CASIO to see if they can help us. If anyone have any luck please share your experience.
