i want to set up the same but have to get the midi cable to connect the keyboard to my PC. i have a audio interface like an external sound card which is connected to my computer and i run cubase audio recording software. im pretty sure i can go to add device in cubase and it will add the keyboard as a midi device and then i can choose any sound/instrument/vst either in cubase library or any ive downloaded and the keyboard will play that sound. im not sure about mix-craft 6 if the same as cubase. i think you need a sequencer software which plays midi sounds like reaper or fl studio but as far as i know cubase does it. if it has a midi connection then you should be able to get midi data. im not sure but when you connect it do you have to have it keyboard out then PC in. then cubase should pick it up as midi device then you may have to set the midi device settings for your sound card as well, maybe asio something or in my case alpha asio as im am using a lexicon alpha audio interface. i also have asio4all which i downloaded like a generic sound driver. my interface is set as my default sound card and my computers on board sound card is disabled and i have set all the sounds for audio and voice to the alpha interface in computers sounds and audio devices. not sure if it works the same with PC sound card but should as long as you change the settings. not sure if there are other settings to do maybe in midi devices like setting the vst audio ins and outs to my sound card/interface in cubase or in your case mix craft as well but i haven't got that far. hope this makes sense as i said i have yet to test it but am pretty sure i am close. if you have had any luck let me know as i want to do the same.
