Kawai Synthesizers

I used 
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1994_articles/jan94/kawaik1sequencing
.html to set up my MULTI A1 for sequencing. I presume I have to have 
this pressed to allow my system to communicate?

I have the MIDI leads set so that the IN of the K1 connects to the 
OUT of my breakout box, and vice versa with the K1 OUT/Breakout IN.

I had the signal permanently high this morning and then, when 
leaning on the lead, the signal returned to normal. Still no sound 
though. So, this could be a faulty lead?

I'd like to confirm something (because I am now beginning to doubt 
everything); I should be able to plug a MIDI device into my breakout 
box, load up CuBase and, with the headphones plugged into the 
breakout box, hear the sound relating to the key pressed (depending 
on the sound defined within CuBase - which is another thing I have 
no idea about). There really shouldn't be a lot of setting up to 
make the simple task of communication happen surely? Or am I very 
wrong?
