Connecting an electric piano to a MacBook

I recently bought a USB A to USB B cable to connect my electric piano to a MacBook but I haven't succeeded yet. Is there a way to connect my piano to the computer ( GarageBand/ Logic Pro X) using this cable?

unfortunately it appears that the DGX-640 is not Mac compatible:



if the keyboard has a MIDI-OUT jack you could connect it via a Mac compatible MIDI interface, but not directly through the built-in USB port.
