OK, right up front, I'm a MIDIOT ! So be nice ?...

Just bought a used M-Audio Keystation 61es ($40) and I have no clue how to hook it up and test it, then actually record something with it.

So.. Keystation ...plug what into what ... etc. Then, in Real Band the configs to play and record.

Win 7 64 bit, RealBand 2012 latest build, Tascam US-144 interface, ASIO drivers, Garritan GPO and JABB.

Do I want to use midi cable to the Tascam or just USB to a computer port ? Then step-by-step as to setting up MIDI drivers etc.
