I have a basic keyboard that only has USB port. My plan is to connect it to Windows laptop to make music using software synth. I have Windows 10 home if it matters.
MIDI is transmitted over USB these days. You almost certainly have a keyboard with MIDI, unless it’s a super cheap toy keyboard or something.
no it’s not cheap, made by M audio bought a few years back
Yeah, that’s definitely a MIDI controller keyboard you’ve got then. (I have a bunch of M-Audio stuff.)
Just plug it into USB and your music software should find it easily.
