>>Do I understand correctly that the the headphone on the computer is what you use to plug in a cable from a MIDI keyboard?
>
>For MIDI (which I haven't touched in 5 or 6 years) it typically connects to the game port, which is also usually on the sound card (I don't think your laptop will have one of those though)
I think I will need to buy a sound card that can be connected to a PC over USB port.
Thank you for your help.
