need help on listening to two sources on one headphone

[casparma]

Hi

I am learning Jazz right now and I have PX-200 Casio piano.

I have a audio CD that basically provides the bass. I want to listen to it while improvise on my PX-200 piano, with my headphone.

How can I do that?  My px-200 piano allows me to use a regular headphone with a normal plug that can be plugged into most audio socket on the computers. However, I hope I can also listen to the bass on my headphone too from the CD, which will be played on my laptop. How can I do that?

I was thinking converting the audio files from the CD into midi but it doesn't work.  The annoying part is that it seems PX-200 doesn't support mp3 input, but I am not sure if I can play it from the SD card.


Any way, can any one help me?

thanks

The only way I can think of is to run your Digital keyboard via midi in a sequencer program and use a VST sample while you play the audio file from your computers CD drive. Then both signals will come from the computer. If you have a Mac you can use garageband as sequencer but a decent pianosample costs quite alot, like Ivory. https://www.synthogy.com/

However, what do you mean by VST sample?

You want to listen to a CD and hear yourself playing the keyboard at the same time?  couldn't you just wear two sets of headphones?  Earbuds and an over-the-ears set?

Or get a Y splitter and put the two signals into one headphone. 

Nothing fancy that way.

However, what do you mean by VST sample?

A sampled sound that your computer runs via midi.

 Wel the obvious and traditional way would be to get a cheap mixer. Use audio outs from whatever sources you want and send them to the mixer. I havn't done this from computer sources but I am sure Radio Shack or someone would have the jack converters. There are lots of sources for mixers and it never hurts to have one around, just make sure it has a headphone jack.
