I know you can get the MIDI signals recorded, but I want the actual sounds from the keyboard, not a MIDI realisation.
If you can, does it require a specific program like ProTools or Logic?
Thanks

Recording M50 sounds
How would I go about recording the actual programs and combis as heard from the keyboard so they could be mixed on a computer with other recorded tracks?

You want a program like:
Cubase, Logic, Record, Ableton Live, Protools... There are also some free programs like Audacity, Kristal, and some 'cheap' solutions like Reaper and EnergyXT
For just recording a full track that you've sequenced already on the M50, Audacity would be fine.
You want to hook up the L/Mono and R audio connections up to an audio interface (USB or FireWire box, or an internal soundcard of a professional quality - e.g. not a soundblaster or such).
You can connect it up to the soundcard/connections already built into your PC, but it won't be as good quality, and you'll need an adaptor cable to convert the pair of 1/4 in mono jack connections out of your M50 into a stereo 3.5mm jack that is used typically on computers where there isn't as much panel space - used by MP3 Players, computers, laptops.

Another solution is to get a portable recorder, eg Yamaha Pocketrak, a 1/4" cable, a 1/4female to 1/8"male adapter & record into the ptrak, via the M50's headphone out socket to the ptrak's mic in. Then u simply set the recording gain on the ptrak before recording, enabling peak detection in its options will help u avoid clipping.
The good thing about the ptrak is that it's usb plug n play & v.small. The only problem then is if you recording many tracks, lining them up precisely in ur audio editor of choice (I'm using Edison, which comes with FLS).
