Question, I was wondering if you can use a usb MIDI keyboard with the 4000 in the same since as you would with an ordinary MIDI keyboard. From what I'm researching, its MIDI cables or nothing! Just wondering if that is the case or if someone knows how to... Thanks

USB on 4k is not for midi.

Midi is not audio.
