CDP-100 MIDI notes play on key RELEASE, not on PRESS

Hi, I don't know if this has to do with my keyboard or my Cakewalk setup. I have an old USB keyboard and this is not an issue with it, but I just got a Casio CDP-100 and am using a USB MIDI adapter to connect. Everything works great except when using soft synths, notes don't play when I PRESS a key on the keyboard, they play, instead, when I RELEASE the key on the keyboard. This isn't a latency problem, as it is EXACTLY when I release the key that the soft synth plays the note. Also, I notice that the little MIDI indicator in the taskbar lights up both when I press the key and when I release it, indicating to me that a MIDI signal IS being sent from my keyboard when I press a key, but perhaps it isn't the right kind of signal?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I thought I was having this exact same problem, but after trying midi-ox like you said, it turns out every thing is one event behind, rather than "reversed". For example, if I just opened midi-ox, I press a key and nothing shows, but when I release it the Note On event shows.

To prove that each event is one event behind, if I press and key and release it I will see the Note On event but not the Note Off. Then if I press the sustain pedal, I see the Note Off event of the key from before. Then if I release the sustain pedal (or instead keep it pressed down and press a key down), the Pedal Down (7F) shows.

This is also with a USB MIDI adapter.

The keyboard I'm using is different than the OP's; it's pretty old (can't even remember when I got it :P), Concertmate 980. I have no other keyboard to test the adapter with.

The adapter is a cheap one from eBay; the user has a store therefore many other people bought the same item. Judging by the user's feedback, other people that bought this adapter have working ones.

The adapter doesn't have a name anywhere on it, but in Windows 7 the driver is automatically found and installed, and the device is called VIEWCON. I found a site, viewcon.net, it's some Chinese company, and I can't seem to find a different driver on the site for the adapter.

Other Google results talk about the adapter not working at all, and people suggest a generic usb midi driver (which works for them), but Windows 7 won't let me install because it says it is the incorrect operating system. They also say to extract the setup file and update the driver manually, but then Windows tells me I have the latest driver already :p

I will continue searching Google but I'll probably just have to get a new adapter I suppose.


EDIT: In midi-ox, if I set up the computer's keyboard to send notes to the electronic keyboard, they play like they should: when I press a letter down, the corresponding note is played on the keyboard, and when I release that letter, the note stops (as it should). I just cannot figure out why it doesn't work like that when going from the keyboard to the PC.
