Good Morning,
How do I connect my digital piano that I bought from you to my computer? I'd be looking to use it with Cubase if that helps.

Good Morning,
Thankyou for your email.
For the most basic connection between your instrument and PC you'll need a USB Lead. In most cases this will be a USB A to USB B but it may also be a straight USB A to USB A. You can verify which you need by checking the USB port on the instrument - if it is square, use the A to B - if it is rectangular and thin, use the A to A.
You'll probably also need the driver software to allow Cubase or any other recording/sampling software to 'see' the instrument - this can be found on the individual manufacturers websites.
In time you might also want to consider investing in a USB Audio interface. This removes the need for instrument based drivers and reduce latency in recording and allows for live sound recording rather than digital recording via the USB.
You can see our complete stock of Audio Interfaces here - http://www.normans.co.uk/c-258-audio-interfaces.aspx
As they come in all shapes and sizes to fit different needs and budgets.
I'd recommend the Focusrite Scarlett Package we currently stock as a great value 'all in one' - you get the audio interface but also a great quality pair of headphones and a microphone to record vocals or other acoustic instruments.
