I recently got a Yahamaha YPT-255 Keyboard.

Now I would like to connect it to my PC in order to record sounds/songs, as well as load sounds I created back to the keyboard.

I noticed that it does not have a MIDI or USB port, it only has an 'AUX in', 'headphones' and 'sustain' ports.

Is there a way to use the Yamaha YPT-255 for designing sounds and songs? If there isn't I would appreciate a suggestion for a keyboard that is suitable to my use case in a similar price range!

Thanks!

You can record audio by connecting your headphone output to an audio input on your computer (this works even better for quality and latency if you use a USB interface instead of the basic input jack built into your PC).

If you want to use MIDI, you will need a compatible keyboard and software with soundbanks. M-Audio has a large selection of MIDI controller keyboards available for a range of prices.

If you want something with built-in sounds AND MIDI, you can try to find something 2nd hand, as most newer keyboards with both functions that are really worth buying cost a bit more than your current keyboard. Hope that helps.
