You will need a USB A to B cable.
The A side goes into your PC, the B side into your Kronos.

Alternatively you can use standard MIDI cables, providing you have a MIDI interface connected to your PC.

PS) The USB cable will transport audio as well, next to MIDI, so it's quite convenient.

IJustPassBy- See Yuma's post above for the use of MIDI cables/connections.

If you go the USB-way, you don't need to MIDI cables anymore.
The Kronos can transmit both MIDI and audio data over USB.
