Then only connect the out.  You'll have to find a low latency solution to using your computer as the sound source.

Just connecting them won't work. You also need the correct usb driver installed on your computer.
If your goal is raw recording then running a cable from the headphone jack on the keyboard to the external mic jack on your computer will do the trick...
