Does this keyboard work alone or does it have to be plugged into a computer? (Can you just plug it into the wall and play?)

the software has to be loaded into the computer and then the keyboard needs to be plugged into the computer. It does allow you to play the keyboard, without having to use the recording software, just like a regular keyboard. But yes, you have to connect it to the computer. It is a nice system. Although I am not using it now, I bought it for future use when I get a MAC. I use it on an old XP platform computer. It does not work on Vista.

It needs to be plugged into a computer, hooked to either a DAW or plugin with MIDI support. It can't be used by itself.

No. This keyboard transforms your Mac or PC into a full-featured recording studio.

It plugs into a USB plug on your computer. It does not plug into a wall socket.

You can hook it up to a speaker, but not with USB-- you just use an audio cable to connect a speaker (or a pair of speakers for stereo) to the keyboard's "HEADPHONES/OUTPUT" jack.

It comes with a micro-USB cable for charging the keyboard, if that is what you are referring to. This charges from the USB port found on any computer. If you do not have access to one, you may search for a "wall charger usb plug" on your favorite retail website. Like this, for example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RXU59C/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No. the keyboard is a controller. It has no sounds of it's own. Therefore there is no audio out plug. Only midi out.The audio out will come from the laptop, desktop or iPhone/iPod/iPad that you connect the board to. That computer(or other) must have the instrument software. You will also need headphones and or speakers.

The keyboard must be plugged into the tablet to work and not wireless. There is another option though and pretty cheap. Since the keyboard has a USB port you can get any Logitech wireless keyboard that comes with their dongle and use that keyboard. I have a Logitech keyboard that has both the keyboard AND the finger pad and mouse keys just like a normal laptop has so you don't need a seperate kb and mouse. That was about $30 at Walmart. You can plug the dongle into any device that uses USB....I also use it with my regular laptop (Windows) and even my Samsung smart TV (computer built in) for remote keyboard. Note though that on the ASUS there is not a USB port on the tablet itself only the keyboard so you still need both the tablet and its docking keyboard. That being said....the ASUS kb is excellent....in fact that is what I am using right now to reply to you.

You don't plug it into a USB to connect to the tablet. The connection is wireless via bluetooth. The only connection this keyboard has is to plug it into the wall to recharge.

It does. I run it plugged into my monitors USB port, and it also works when plugged into my USB hub. Great keyboard, very recommended.

No. You simply plug it into your computer and the keyboard receives power from the computer. I hope that helps.

It needs to be connectecd via bluetooth. There is a USB Bluetooth Adapter included with the keyboard, so you do not need to buy a separate one.

No. There is no way to connect it to a computer (no ports, USB, or wireless) it only plays the songs you create on the keyboard.

The keyboard doesn't come with a driver disk so it's basically compatible with anything. It's a plug and play type keyboard.

An external keyboard will work. Either USB plug in or bluetooth. I used a plug in keyboard and it worked fine. All keys functions worked. I used a capacitive stylus that worked great.

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. I bought this keyboard for my father over a year ago & it works great. All I did was plug it to his PC like any other keyboard and never had a problem. Hopefully Amazon can provide you with more detail information.

The keyboard connects to your computer via USB connection. There are no auxiliary USB ports on the keyboard for other devices to connect to, though.

Yessir. The computer will see it as a standard keyboard, so it is entirely plug-and-play on any computer.It's easy to setup and a delight to use!

This keyboard has no sound module, speakers or amplifier. So it must be fed into either a stand-alone module (like thise made by Roland, Yamaha, Korg, etc.) or into a computer. Unlike some newer keyboards it will feed older modules via a midi-out port as well as USB. Be aware that the USB port is not powered and may cause issues unless an optional "wall wart" transformer is purchased and attached. All in all a very good keyboard for the price- I own 5 of them:)
