Just about any computer on the market today is good for MIDI....MIDI devices get plugged into the MIDI/game port.....

OK...

this is the comp i'm eyeing and your right...

it does have a game port...

so that means i can hook me keyboard directly into this without any adapters...

just the midi wires...???

A product like #887-104 called the Joystick to MIDI cable (Dont worry you can find them cheaper)....the one plug goes into the computer and the two go into your midi keyboard.....

Do i really need that...

can't i just use the midi cables into the game port....

cuz i already have the cables

if the other end of your midi cables look like the end in that picture you are set up...if not.....

 

[aKa]

yeah they do...

thanks alot man...you don't even know how thankful i am...

and now i can tell my friend, who has the presario, to get the midi joystick and it will work...

thanks again...
