why is it so bloody hard?

ok what do i need to do this?

i have:



and micro korg and a laptop.

what other things do I need?

do i have the wrong cord? at present i have the usb going into my computer and the other end going to midi out on the keyboard yet no recognition on my computer?

should i buy this instead:



and is there free software where i can get started for now or are there cheap alternatives?
