My Casio CDP-130 digital piano has a USB out through which I have connected it to my iMac. The Audio MIDI Setup utility recognizes it, and the input and output tests are successful. Logic Pro X does not see it in Preferences>Audio>Input Device:. Logic does see it when I create a new External MIDI track, but that is for output.When I turn the piano on, Logic notifies me: "Changed number of MIDI inputs/outputs. Now I input and I output are available." Then why cant I select the MIDI input?Thank you for any advice.

The USB connection is merely a MIDI connection and not audio.

You should be able to control Logic's software instruments by playing on the Casio.

If you want to record the sound of your external piano you need an audio interface and connect the audio outputs on your Casio to the interface's input.

Hope that helps.
