All i want is to record from my micro korg to my laptop

First of all you need to check the USB<>MIDI adapter is installed correctly, then you can test it with MIDI Ox.

If you're getting nothing playing from the keyboard through headphones when you send it a MIDI note command, double check the incoming MIDI channel on the keyboard is setup properly.

Once you've got sound and MIDI response, the stereo jack to jack cable should do, although you may need a jack converter for the micro korg end, if like me you've been through hundreds of headphones DJing you should have a pile of those converters anyway.

As for recording I'd use Cool Edit with Line In input enabled at 0 (line level), but it doesn't matter what software you use really, whatever you feel comfortable with is probably best.

thanks for your help but i still cannot get a sound out from the keyboard.

lets start over again, at my possession:

midi cable one in one out and the other usb plugs.

do i hook both the in and out on the back of mini korg or just the out?

secondly male to male cord which like you said goes to the mini korg's back with a headphone converter to the headphone jack of the laptop.

mini korg on edit select 2 midi. how do you make sure mini korg is working properly for the midi?


i have a demo version of cool edit. i didn't understand what you meant by line enabled 0 , where is that in cool edit?

thirdly where do i change my laptop settings to read the korg?

on the control panel? if so where?

bloody hell why is this so diffucult?


and i have no midi interface.
