What cable is used to connect this to PC and where can you purchase one.
Thanks

I ended up making mine. It's a PS2 connector on one end and a 9 pin serial on the other. I literally cut the end off an old mouse or keyboard and soldered on the DB-9. Cost me like 2 bucks.

Not really, just cheap! Smile

I think the pinouts are in one of the Triton Manuals. If you're handy with a soldering iron, it's a 5 or 10 minute job.

Hello,I'm new around here...I just bought a Korg triton classic(i love it)
and i have a question....can i use "to host" with an USB - PS/2 cable?
Thank you,all the best!

no. it's a proprietary serial cable. I'd recommend a good MIDI to USB adapter.
