Casio Lk-200s Usb Drivers For Mac
I wanted to hook up my keyboard using it's usb type b port to my computer and play midi through it. The manual says that I can do so (page e-65) and that once I plug in my keyboard the driver should automatically download.
When I plug it in, my keyboard shows up in my device manager, but my system doesn't seem to to be able to find a driver for it. I've downloaded from the casio website, but it doesn't list the WK-200 as a compatible keyboard and I can't get the keyboard to use it even once I installed it. Is there something I'm missing? The WK-200 is 'Class Compliant', which means that it will work with the generic driver that has been built-in to Windows since XP Service Pack 2 and the last several versions of MAC-OS. The driver does not need to download, because it is already built-in to Windows.
It just needs to activate, when you connect the keyboard. It should not be necessary to install any other driver, but if you have done so, then you may have to uninstall that additional driver, in order to keep it from interfering with the generic driver. If the WK-200 showed up in your Device Manager, without a yellow alert flag, then it was using the proper driver.
What gave you the impression that it was not working properly? What version of Windows are you using? What music software programs are you running? If you have a newer computer with USB-2 and USB-3 ports, make sure you are connecting the WK-200 to a USB-2 port, as many USB-3 ports have problems with USB-MIDI. What gave me the impression that it was not working properly was when I plugged it in and it did have the alert flag saying that it is an unknown usb device (before I tried installing any drivers). I'm on windows 10 64 bit education edition, and am trying to use the keyboard with FL Studio. I also can't try connecting it to a usb 2.0 port, as my computer literally doesn't have any.
Only 3.0 and 3.1. Either way, the problem is that even though it is, in your words, 'Class Complaint', it's not recognizing that it should be using this generic driver. Is there a way I can force it to use specifically that driver? The phrase 'Class Compliant' is not 'my words', but rather, describes an industry accepted standard design for the USB-MIDI protocol: While the vast majority of Windows-10 and USB-3 systems work fine with USB-MIDI Class Compliant devices, there are reports of some Windows 10 O.E.M. Builds (pre-installed Windows), that omitted the USB-MIDI Class Compliant driver, while there are other reports that when a USB-MIDI Class Compliant device is connected, some Windows 10 O.E.M.
Builds try to activate a video driver that has nothing to do with USB-MIDI. When you connect a Class Compliant device, the system goes looking for that specific driver.

If it is not there, or damaged, or the wrong driver, there is nothing you can do. You can not 'force' the system to load a different driver. You need to contact Microsoft and inform them that your system has a missing or damaged Class Compliant USB-MIDI driver, and ask them how to obtain a replacement, but there remains the possibility that the problem could be your USB-3 ports not properly identifying your USB-2 USB-MIDI devices as 'Class Compliant'. I have seen a couple of recent discussions, on this, that point to BIOS or firmware problems on the host computer. To give you some appreciation for the scope of these problems, and the frustration they have caused, I recommend doing a Bing or Goggle search on 'Windows-10 USB-MIDI problems' and 'USB-3 USB-MIDI' problems, or other similar phrases, but be wary of the many sites offering supposed 'fixes', as most of them are notorious for proliferating malware, adware, and spyware.

You could also do similar searches on YouTube to see how others have dealt with the problem, although my recent search on YouTube, for this, did not actually turn up anything I would consider very useful.
