KEYBOARDS TODAY - Casio keyboard accessories and music books

Today, nearly all Casios have MIDI jacks for connecting keyboards to other
keyboards or computers. Remember: Keyboards will need proper and appropriate
cables in order to function as designed. The computer also needs
MIDI software so that it can communicate with the keyboard in MIDI language.
The products we show here have been used by thousands of multimedia
enthusiasts in this complex, but exciting marriage between music, keyboards,
computers and the internet.
