Hello
I've recently purchased Galaxy Vintage D and I am trying to use it with my Casio AP-650m as I want to improve the sound quality and I have it connected to my nearby computer via Midi cable.
Here's the problem, the software (Galaxy Vintage D) recognizes that I'm pressing a key on my piano as it replicates it on the on screen piano but the only sound produced is that of my typical piano sound and not that of the Vintage D, however when I press a key manually by using the mouse on the on-screen piano the Vintage D sound is created.
So here's the question:
How can I get the Vintage D sound to come through my piano's onboard speakers when I press a key on my piano? As of right now I cannot figure it out and it's quite distressing.

Not sure if you are aware of this but MIDI doesn't transmit any Audio, it is only for sending and receiving control messages - hence the key press you are seeing replicated on the Galaxy D. Most likely, the USB connection between a Casio piano and a computer is for control data only, no audio.
Anyway, you need to disable the Casio's internal sound in order to only hear the Galaxy D (step 2 below).
To listen to the Galaxy D coming through your piano, do the following:
1. Connect your computer's line out to the Casio's line in with the appropriate cables (not sure from your post if you have already done this?)
2. Set the Casio's "Local Control" to "Off"* - this disables the Casio's built in sounds - you should now only hear the Galaxy D coming through the Casio's speakers
*Check the Casio's manual to see how to set the local control function. Remember to set it back to "on" when you want to play the Casio's internal sounds.

Thank you for your reply
I'll take your advice and buy a 6.35mm X2 stereo to 3.5mm audio jack cable and see if it solves the issue, I'm 100% sure it will, brilliant answer, literally solved the mystery.
As you can probably tell I'm a first timer at this.
