The Casio WK-500 keyboard does not have built-in compatibility with Android devices or direct support for MIDI apps. However, you can still connect the keyboard to an Android device using a USB-to-Host cable or a MIDI-to-USB adapter.

To connect the Casio WK-500 to an Android device, you'll need the following:

USB-to-Host cable or MIDI-to-USB adapter: Depending on the available ports on your Android device, you'll need either a USB-to-Host cable (if your Android device has a USB Type-A or Type-C port) or a MIDI-to-USB adapter (if your Android device has a micro USB or USB-C port).

OTG (On-The-Go) support: Make sure your Android device supports OTG functionality. This feature allows the device to act as a host and recognize USB MIDI devices.

Once you have the necessary equipment, follow these steps:

Connect the USB-to-Host cable or MIDI-to-USB adapter to the appropriate port on your Android device.

Connect the other end of the cable or adapter to the USB MIDI port on the back of the Casio WK-500 keyboard.

Launch a compatible MIDI app on your Android device. There are several MIDI apps available on the Google Play Store, such as "MIDI Keyboard" or "MIDI Keyboard KORG."

Configure the MIDI settings in the app to recognize the Casio WK-500 as the MIDI input device.

Note that the compatibility and functionality of MIDI apps may vary, and it's important to check the specific requirements and capabilities of the app you choose. Additionally, the Casio WK-500 does not have native Bluetooth MIDI support, so a wired connection is necessary.

Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
