    Hello ,
    I am just wondering why USB in S88 does not work with Midi cable . I plugged first the midi cable and it was detected when I attached to an Android application . But when I plugged the USB cable to connect to the Komplete Kontrol software to start hearing the sound , the Midi cable stopped working .
    Any explanation pleas ?

    If you are talking the MIDI Output from the keyboard, it only functions as a MIDI out direct from the keyboard when no PC is attached. Once you attach to a computer with the drivers installed, the MIDI out from the KB becomes a MIDI out from the computer and no longer xmits midi direct from the keyboard, you need to loop it out of the PC or use a DAW to take MIDI in from the KB and send it back out of the MIDI port.

    As far as I know DAW is either a software or hardware . Do you have a choice please to suggest cheap and easy to use ?

    YOu confuse DAW with just Program. Komplete Kontrol is the standalone version of the VST plugin that is loaded within a DAW. If you are not a DAW user and have no need for one except to loop midi back out and to a hardware device then you may need to look at a solution that uses a virtual midi loop to take MIDI from your USB input and direct it back out again via the MIDI out.
