The basic connection used for musical instruments to be connected to the computer is the Musical Instrumental Digital Interface, or also known as the MIDI. Through the MIDI, the instrument can be used with sequencing software or a music recording. Instruments such as keyboard can be connected to the computer to create music. If you have a MIDI keyboard, you can connect it easily to the computer, as long as your computer has a MIDI port in its sound card. In case your sound card doesn’t have this port, it is still possible to connect your MIDI keyboard to your computer. Here are some tips for getting set up: • Inspect the output ports at the back of your computer. A MIDI port is a circular port that has five pins around the inner edge. If your computer has a MIDI port, then you can simply insert the cable and you are connected and ready to play. • Have a universal MIDI connector. A universal MIDI connector has two MIDI plugs on one end while a joystick plug on the other end. Check the plugs and label which one is the plug for input while ignoring the out plug. • Buy a USB MIDI interface. If you don’t have a MIDI or a joystick port on your sound card, you can always purchase a USB MIDI adapter. This USB MIDI adapter has a USB connector on one side and a MIDI port on another side. • Install the drivers for the USB MIDI interface. The USB connector will have an accompanying disc for the driver installation so that it can function properly. In addition, software and programs will also be installed through the installation disc. Once you have your MIDI adapter, you can connect your MIDI keyboard and create high quality music. You can also configure your sound sequencer so that it will recognize your MIDI keyboard.

The game port on your computer (if it has one, many newer computers dont) can be used as a MIDI connection with the use of an adapter. While the game ports original purpose was as an interface for joysticks and the like (hence the name) it was quickly adapted for use as a MIDI interface as well. Further details on this can be found through the links below. If your system doesn't have a game port, there are PCI cards as well as USB converters available so you can add one.
A Ensoniq KS-32 can be used as a MIDI controller. If you are using an audio interface that has MIDI ports, connect the MIDI Out of the Ensoniq to the Interface's MIDI In.
