Connect Korg Triton Extreme to PC
May I begin by stating that I am a computer newbie and am using family to transcribe this message so please be patient with potential delays in reply. I am trying to connect my KTE to my PC to use it in a program like ScoreCloud Studio or MuseScore2 in order to produce sheet music. If you could enlighten me to the hardware cords or wires necessary for my PC and program to register the notes that would be ideal. Audio would be nice aswell but if its too technical a process I can do with the simple stuff. Thank you for any help you can provide, you have my full cooperation and appreciation
Welcome to the forum.
A standard USB A to B cable should be all that is necessary to connect PC to the Triton Extreme and send/receive MIDI data but, before doing this, the Korg MIDI drivers, downloadable from the Korg website, will need to be downloaded and installed. The square end of the USB cable needs to go into the Triton Extreme connector labelled USB B. The flatter "A" connector goes to the PC USB socket. Try and use the same PC USB socket every time, since the drivers will be installed for every USB socket that is used and this can caus problems with Windows systems.
The software will then need to be configured to use the Triton Extreme as a MIDI device.

Audio outs from the Triton Extreme can be connected to the Line-in on the PC audio card. In most cases, a cable having two 1/4" jacks on one end (for the Triton R and L/mono audio outs) and a 1/8" stereo jack on the other end to connect to the PC ("Line-in" on the PC is probably a pale blue coloured jack socket).
Audio in to the Triton Extreme from the PC would need the same cable as above, connected to the Line-out on the PC (probably pale green) and the autio inputs on the Triton Extreme.
