Before you attach or detach any cables from your computer, you should shut down
your computer and turn off the power to all your equipment. This greatly reduces
the chance of electrical damage to your equipment while plugging and unplugging
cables.
To Connect a MIDI Keyboard to Your Computer

connector into the MIDI In jack on your electronic keyboard.
2. The other 5-pin connector on the MIDI cable is labeled In. Plug this connector
into the MIDI Out jack on your electronic keyboard.
3. If you are using a MIDI adaptor cable, plug the 15-pin connector on the MIDI
cable into the MIDI/joystick port on your sound card. If you have a joystick,
unplug it, plug in the MIDI cable, and plug the joystick into the pass-through
connector on the MIDI cable.
Or
If you are using standard MIDI cables, plug the cable connected to the MIDI
Out on your MIDI instrument into the MIDI In of your sound card or MIDI
interface. Plug the cable connected to the MIDI In on your MIDI instrument
into the MIDI Out of your sound card or MIDI interface.
