Definitely needed the updated driver. The default download did not work for me. It took me awhile to find it. Clicked in the Op-Sys-OSX link on the left menu of the download page, and then I found it.
Casio CTK 720, 10.5.1, 12" G4 Powerbook.....at first it was weird, the keyup event was causing a midi event that I could not control...it was the keyboard though, once I turned the General Midi mode to 'On' it was perfect.
I did a quick search on Google and the CTK-631 doesn't seem to have a USB interface, and already has MIDI IN and OUT. Could you describe what are you trying to do with your keyboard ?
Casio WK-8000. 20-inch: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Didnt work immediately after installation, so I was considering a restart, but as I was about to restart it kicked in and started working. I went ahead and restarted it just to make sure and it has been working wonderfully for me. Hopefully it continues to play well. It was very refreshing to find a solution. Thanks for your hard work on this one!
I downloaded and expanded the file, but when I click on the icon, it asks me what application I want to open it with. It's a .plugin file and I'm not sure what the next step would be. I'm trying to run my Casio CTK 810 on Pro Tools.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! We bought this $900 Casio keyboard for MIDI purposes and were VERY discouraged that there was no Mac driver. You are a life saver!! Thanks so very much!
Casio Celviano AP-500 -- plugin seems to work great. G4 MacBook?, Tiger 10.4.11. Wow! Easy to install, I just dragged the unzipped driver into Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers, then ran Audio Midi Setup (in Applications > Utilities) and no reboot was necessary. GarageBand? picked it up right away.
I had been using a basic M-Audio "UNO" device with the keyboard, and it was OK but native USB is much better. THANK YOU!
Mac Book Pro 2.16 GHz - intel core 2 Duo / Casio CTK-800 Works well with no restart needed. This is the plug-in I've been looking for. Thank You so much!
I see from a recent writer that that the Casio CTK-710 is working with the driver. I have the same machine, downloaded the driver and can't get it to work. I dragged it into Library/audo/midi configurations (that is the way it reads in my menu)... It also weems to want to open with Disk Utility. CAN ANYONE HELP?
Hint to others - after you've copied the driver over, go to your Applications/Utilities/ folder and open the Audio MIDI Setup application and click on the MIDI tab and select the Casio icon. Then it should work.
THANK YOU!!! from Venezuela!!!! Casio CTK-710. Just bought it today July 12th, 2008 and assumed it worked fine for Mac OSX just by being a USB keyboard. This driver is heaven sent. Using Mac Mini G4 OS 10.5.4 ; Garage Band 2.0.2 and some Bias Peak VST Plugins like ARP 2600. I wonder if GB could control the keyboard??? I mean. make the keyboard play MIDI scores. Casio should cater to the Mac community. 95% of pro musicians do own Apple computers.
I am planning to buy the CTK 810-IN keyboard which is pressure sensitive and has a Pitch bend wheel. will this driver detect the pressure sensitivity and the pitch bend wheel functions??
Actually I spoke too soon. While the keyboard works great with my MIDI apps, the minute I close the app and try to play the keyboard itself (via the internal speakers), I have intermittent note freezes/hangs/lockups. The keyboard is unplayable until I physically unplug the USB connector from the back.
It's as if the Casio is continuing to look for interaction from the software, even after the software has closed. Any ideas?
System recognizes driver. Midi setup sends multiple keynotes at once (not sure if this is good or bad - as I'm a first timer) and audio feedback from Casio to computer is of single note - regardless of key pressed. Melody Assistant receives and displays notes and audio, but keyboard is silent on playback. Played with lots of settings on computer and keyboard to no avail. Señor Staff (Senor Staff with a tilde on the N - in case display errs) is the only app I have that yields audible output on the keyboard. Audible output on keyboard is heard on note hovering (more precisely, cursor float or note preview), note placement and playback (and it has a quick access driver menu which obviously recognized the driver without issue). Hopefully this will give some insight. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, or when an update is available. Thanks.
Am I correct in assuming that all of the Apple computers listed above have Windows for Mac - an older Mac with only Mac OS 10.3.9 is not compatible with the wk-110, right?
Note to all, Please make sure you are Placing this under "/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/" by default I only had one file "EmagicUSBMIDIDriver" under this folder. Thank you for creating the driver Ferland Francois. Good day.
Hi there I have a Casio ctk 800 keyboard but doesn`t work with garage band for mac if someone has the driver or can tell me how to make it work will be great my mail jorgemm88@hotmail.com or jorgemm88@gmail.com thankss...
Please help me! I am reading through the comments and I am still having problems with the Casio CTK-720 driver. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.5 and my computer will not open the driver that I downloaded from google http://code.google.com/p/casiousbmididriver/downloads/detail?name=CasioUSBMIDIDriver.r9.plugin.zip. I followed the directions of where to place the plug in etc but computer is saying there is no application to open with. Thanks! sdcancer@gmail.com
On Leopard 10.5.6 Late 2008 MacBook? Pro - with casio privia px-200 keyboard. Hooked it up via USB after following instructions and worked seamlessly and instantaneously in Garageband - it even marks on the score where I pedal!! Amazing - thanks ever so much for compiling - learn something Casio!
I guess GarageBand? is the better test: The driver reports midi input with the same time-stamp which seems to make Synthesia fail. But I guess that's an application problem not a driver problem really.
Anyway thanks from Denmark as well - without this driver I would have had to return the keyboard...
Privia PX-320, Macbook 2.0 gHZ, running 10.5.4. Works like a charm! It was dumb of me to buy the keyboard without first making sure that there was a Mac driver. I just assumed that Casio would include a Mac driver in the box, or at least post one on their web site. Thank you, ferland.francois! I feel like I owe you some $$!
Please, if anyone knows where to find a driver for a casio px-320, I could really use the help. I run os 10.5.6 on an Imac 2.8 GHz intel core 2 duo. Thanks, everyone.
Works on my WK-8000! I thought that I had wasted my money on this keyboard! I was about to scale down to a $99 m-audio controller. Yuck! Boy am I glad I found this site/driver. I've considered this an impossibility for 2 years! But not anymore! Thank you a million times over!!!! I'm in shock!
Me ha funcionado perfectamente tras copiar el fichero según se indica, ejecuto Garage Band, conecto el privia PX 400R, pulso grabar y comienzo a tocar y veo que funciona estupendamente con esto te ahorras el cable interface. Soy novato me llego el imac 24" el pasado dia 16 de Marzo y es el priper mac que tengo.
Thanks for the driver! So far, it works on my iMac G5 (haven't tried it on my Intel yet) running OS 4.x, with Reason 4.0, Logic 7.2, plus all the instruments in my Native Instruments Komplete collection. One funny thing, though, is that I have to turn the volume all the way down so as not to hear the internal sounds along with the VI.
I'm using this in Logic Pro and have a big problem with the playback/record volume. It's way too low - I can barely hear the keyboard no matter what it's playing. Any ideas?
I did not notice the lack of MAC drivers in my CTK-810 and I felt disappointed...now the things are very different, thank you! you did a great job Ferland Francois!
I downloaded first with Safari but the unzip procedure I think it was not good and did not work at all. I tried with Firefox and it was easier to unzip the package.
The driver did not work immediately, even after rebooting, but spontaneously started working and is still working very fine with Garage Band.
great stuff, thank you working fine on 10.5.7 with Garage band 09' some points - when you do unzip of file, please keep to unzip package (it's happened if you click into plugin file again). the result may be you will have unziped .plugin foulder where you will see Casio.... file, which try to copy. Garage Band going to core sometimes when i use it but i hope apples will fix it asap..
CASIO ctk 810 + new Macbook Pro 2,53 Ghz + macOS 10.5.7: downloaded through firefox, no need to reboot! perfectly working in Garageband 09, merci, merci, thank you!!!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH YOU'RE A SAVIOR! So anyway, this works perfectly with my Casio CTK-710 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 in Garageband 09 and Logic Pro 8. I will be upgrading to Snow Leopard soon and will let you know after. IT NEEDED A REBOOT FIRST
Works great with my 575-R, now I can create piano parts on something that feels pretty close to a piano, instead of my other midi controller, this makes me very happy!
Works well - MacBook? Intel 2CPU - Snow Leopard - Casio wk110 Just note : in audio setting the name of Midi Setting is acme et no casio Thanks, very succesfully to use with garageband lessons

Casio Privia PX-200. Worked immediately! Thank you very much.
This is amazing! Merry Christmas in February! Probably the most useful Mac 3rd Party plug-in I have ever received.
I downloaded and expanded the file, but when I click on the icon, it asks me what application I want to open it with. It's a .plugin file and I'm not sure what the next step would be. I'm trying to run my Casio CTK 810 on Pro Tools.
LK-280 CDTV works fine. Only tested briefly though .. so far so good!! THANK YOU SO OOOOOO MUCH!!

Casio WK-110 & macbook 10.5.6 : no problems so far - so easy to use - excellent
Testing on OSX v 10.5.5 using a Casio WK110 I get the following results:
