How to Connect a MicroKorg to a PC

Making music with your computer often involves the use of software synthesizers, which are much easier to control when you have a keyboard-like MIDI controller such as a MicroKorg. While the MicroKorg synthesizer/vocoder is an instrument in its own right, perfectly suitable for recording and live performances, when you use a MIDI cable to connect a MicroKorg to your computer, you have at your fingertips virtually any sound font or synthesizer you want. This kind of technology was designed to be easy for musicians to learn, and getting started simply entails making the correct connections.
