My midi to usb cable won't do the job?
Ok, hold on...

Let's get exactly what you want to do with this thing.

If you don't want to use the sounds coming out of the keyboard, then you do not need to bother with the extra cables. It sounds like you are trying to use the keyboard simply as a MIDI controller for virtual instruments, yes?

If it is showing up in Pro Tools, you should simply be able to create an Instrument track, open up a plugin like Xpand, and play away.
