You can sample off anything that makes noise.

Either via a microphone or line connection.

Depending on the Machine you mention, you'll probably need either a jack lead, stereo jack lead, or stereo RCA phonograph to stereo jack.

Check your connections, read the specs on the korg site. You could have done that in the time I just took to write this...

You're better be kidding. Very popular cable type: http://www.zzounds.com/cat--1-4-Inch-to ... bles--2363 - even here in Russia, amongst bears with balalaikas.

You can buy couple of RCA-jack adapters, and then use simplest 2RCA-2RCA cable.

If you're in uk you can get them in a million places:

Digital village
Maplins

Etc etc

Guessing there would be plenty on eBay as well.

I have +/- 100 of these adapters for all the analog stuff:

HandyTrax is one of the few turntables you can sample directly from, as it has its own RIAA preamp built in, and outputs from the RCA connectors at standard line level. Most other turntables require an external preamp before the sampler.
