Trouble with connecting midikeyboard to Reason/Mpc 1000.

Hi, i am having problems with my "new" midikeyboard i bought today. I bought a CME UF5. The guy i bought it from said that there is no driver for Windows 7, but i can download a driver for windows 7, 32 bit. That means that i have to format the whole computer and install vista or just install it with 32 bit. I have 64 bit om my laptop right now.

A guy on a swedish forum told me to download Partition Magic, and create a 32 bit version on my harddrive or something like that. I am really not a computergeek so im just lost.
Can somebody help me with my problem?

Is there really not a CME UF5-driver for Windows 7 out there? If there is i would really appreciate it if someone point me in the right direction.

And then i have another problem. The connection with the cables and interfaces and stuff. I have a Romi/o midi/usb from my pc, and then from my UF5 i have the usb-connection into the other usb-port.
The UF5 only have one midi out, so how should i connect the mpc to the UF5?

What have i missed? I would be really greatful if someone can point that out for me.

Ps. Excuse me for my english. If you didnt understand something i wrote, just ask me again and i will explain what i meant.

Have a good day! /F.

iwill this do the trick?

1/ midi out from your midi k.board to midi in on the mpc.

2/ midi out from mpc to midi in on your soundcard/interface.

this way you don't have to worry about drivers and you can use the midi keyboard to trigger either the mpc or stuff on your computer.

I will check this out right away. Just hope it works! I´ll let you know how it went.

I have the RomiO midi-usb and thats an interface with 2 in, 2 out, with 32 channels (if that helps).

I got sound out of it! Nice. But it´s only the mpc´s sounds.

Now i will have to just get it in to Reason 4.0. I did add the interface and i added the CME UF5 as my keyboard in preferences, but i want it as a miditrack now. How do i do this?

I have done what the video tells me to do. What do yo think i have done wrong or if i have missed something important?
