Korg Forums

Hello to all
i just bought a microkorg today and the midi to usb cables i use ableton live but when i try to play the sounds of the microkorg into the pc and record them it just wont work i mean it does detect them and does send the signal but only that,
i read on previous posts that if u want to play and record the sounds of the microkorg into the pc you had to connect it to the soundcard, this i dont know how i was wondering if any of u guys could help me out in this
what other stuff do i need? how do i do it? and how do i know if my laptop soundcard has the necessary ports or stuff for it to connect to the mk.
thanks!

You need to hook the L+R audio out (mono 1/4" jacks) of the keyboard to the audio aux in (stereo 1/8 mini jack) on the computer.

To do this, you'll need an audio adapter. Or you can buy an external USB/Fireware audio interface that has 1/4" input jacks, so you can use two standard 1/4 cables, and you'll get a better quality input too.
