Yamaha Electone C-55n and audio interface?

[Falklol]

Hello! I got myself an old Yamaha Electone C-55n from 1981 today and I'm a complete newcomer when it comes to the organ. What I would like to know is if it would be possible to use this along with my Steinberg CI-1 AI through Cubase 5 in order to emulate the sound to that of a Hammond or just play around with different sounds as I do with my guitar. I've got the Native Instruments B4 II for cubase 5 and everything is in order except for the actual transmitting (is that the right word?) of the sound to the Yamaha. The only input that fit directly with the I/O cord was the Headphones input so I used that and I get the sound of the organ to my headphones through the Steinberg but I cannot get the sound from the B4 II plugin at all. I am using steinbergs Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO in the device panel in Cubase but I'm a newcomer when it comes to handling Cubase aswell, I can get Amplitube to work perfectly with my electric guitar but this seems to install very differently. I could successfully add a MIDI track but further than that I don't know what else to do really.. Sorry if the text is all jumbled but I'm a newbie at both Cubase and the Organ especially. I would really appreciate some help with this even if it's just to tell me it might not even work with the c-55 at all hehe.. Anything to get me further would be much appreciated, and if you need more info as I'm quite aware the info I gave you is very lackluster. Thanks!

OK, here goes.

1) You can't use the Yamaha to control B4-II, or anything else, in Cubase. It is not a MIDI controller, it doesn't even have MIDI, it's too old for that!
2) So you can't play anything back through the Yamaha either.
3) You can take the AUDIO from the Yamaha via the audio interface (heaphones socket to audio interface input and then via USB to Cubase - recording the Yamaha's sound to an AUDIO Track).

So basically, all you can do is play the Yamaha live and record its sound onto a Cubase track. Remember sound is audio data, MIDI is simply control instructions, no sound!
