Default Re: Trying to use external keyboard sounds

I can control the plugins I have (Expand2 and the like) but I want to use the sounds off of my keyboard.
The basic setup is this:
Get another midi cable and go from the midi out of the eleven rack to the midi in on the keyboard.
Connect the audio out(s) from the keyboard to the line inputs on the eleven rack.
Create a plain midi track, set it's output to the eleven rack's midi output port, and channel 1.
Create a stereo audio track and set it's inputs to the eleven rack line ins. Record enable it.
Set up the keyboard so it receives on midi channel 1.
Draw some notes on the midi track, and play them back to see if you get sound.

The unknown is configuring the keyboard to recieve midi, it's different for every one.

If a MIDI event triggers a sample of a tree falling and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
