I have a Casio Tone Bank CT-700 and there is no switch or button on the keyboard to change it to vidi out channel 1. I've been trying to record keyboard into the open source Audacity program with windows 7 installed. I hear the Beta version of Audacity isn't fully configured to windows 7; this could also be the reason why I can't use my keyboard with Audacity. Should I switch to Linux or is there a better way to record from an old Casio Tone Bank CT-700?

What we have here is a relatively basic and some would say archaic vidi control device. This is a keyboard from the 80's. However even in the 80's they have these key boards with vidi in and out. It is important when you are connecting your vidi to know which cable is the in and out. They look exactly the same but they go in different places in back o f the keyboard or in your control interface as well. Be sure to set your keyboard for vidi out channel 1 and set the input on your software to vidi n channel 1 as well. This is for your first keyboard. As you start to develop more vidi devices, drum machines, sequencers, etc. you may use multiple vidi channels as it is allowed by your control interface or your USB inputs.
