With an Apple AirPort Express you can play music wirelessly from your computer through the speakers in your digital keyboard. Essentially using your keyboard as a stereo. The key addition is the correct cable to connect from the audio mini jack on the AirPort to the input connections on your keyboard. And of course your keyboard must accept audio in. The software setup is described on the Apple website and takes a few minutes.

Or if your DP has RCA audio in, buy a cable with 1/8â€ headphone stereo out from your iPod, and regular RCA in to your DP, no software or setup needed. Itâ€™s awesome playing or practicing along your fav pieces.

When I was setting up my system I used iTunes to test the path from the computer's audio interface to the piano. But wireless does not work for software virtual instruments because there is un-avoidable network lag so I'd not recommend an Airport express, use cables. Last edited by ChrisA; 04/20/10 02:54 PM.
