Recording the pocket piano

Pocket Piano / Bolsa Bass / Original Kaleidoloop
1

ive purchased a 1/4" - 3.5mm wire to plug the pocket piano into my computer and record it but for some reason audacity is not recognizing it. the only available recording device is my laptop’s built-in mic! is there a better program to use or something that im missing here? i have a late 2013 macbook pro retina

i bought something similar (vantec usb stereo audio adapter) and its not working for me. I have it set as an input both in my computer settings and in audacity but there is no sound.
