My midi keyboard doesn't show up?

I have a ekeys37 midi keyboard just to try out until i get a better one, but for some reason in all programs nothing comes up only "Creative Sound Blaster MPU-4" i have no idea what that is but thats the only thing that comes up.

Its supposed to say USB Audio Device but that's never come up I've installed that correctly. I really don't know what to do.

Software instruments or keyboard?

I am putting together a home studio for myself and wondering what the pros and cons are of the two options. My concern is latency when I'm tracking. I am only looking for basicallytraditional type sounds(pianos,bass,percussion). The keyboard I have now has pretty weak piano samples(Korg n264). If I go the software route, I will use it as a controller.

Looking for keyboard suggestions!

I'm a beginner looking for a decent keyboard that isn't TOO expensive (under $300 US). I want it to be portable, decent sounding and have at least 61 keys. I want to use it away from the computer but I'd also like MIDI capabilities for when I get comfortable enough to lay down piano/synth tracks in my home recorded music.

What are some decent brand names to shop for?

Wiring semi-massive keyboard room

I've got a friend who has all sorts of synths. Some with keys, some just rack versions. Some mono, some stereo, some with multiple outputs and even others with inputs. I think the final count of total possible audio outputs was somewhere in the 60 channel range. But that includes a couple samplers with 8 outputs each and some devices where the additional outputs would probably not be used.

(Not a spam! Just a user experience and recommendation.)

After running out of options (no Pro Tools keyboard for PC and the Digidesign store usually out of sticker stock) I found this link on "The DUC" and decided to give it a shot.

Hell, $15 isn't much to lose if it turns out to be crap.
