As said in the Topic, is there a way to connect my korg to my PC simply by pluging it to the PC or do I need an external "specia" sound card?
I want to use it as MIDI.
Hope I was clear enough!
THanks in advance!

In general, to hook up any musical instrument with MIDI to a computer, you buy a MIDI interface for that computer. Some computers' sound cards have a built-in MIDI, whereas others require an external MIDI which is connected to the computer via the newer D-subminiature DA-15 game port, a USB connector or by FireWire, Ethernet or by MADI (RME standard).
If you want to get the sound of your Triton Studio into the computer for recording, then midi will do you no good whatsoever, and buying a midi interface is a waste of money.
To fully interface the Triton Studio to a computer you need an audio interface with 6 audio inputs, 2 audio outputs, midi in/out, S/PDIF input, and depending on the kind of S/PDIF, possibly a S/PDIF optical to coax converter.
You can do that with a product like the maudio fast track ultra with the CO2 S/PDIF converter. If you don't want to use all of the individual outs, then you could go with the fast track pro, instead. Most audio i/o interfaces have midi in/out built-in, so it's a waste to buy a separate one when that money could go for the audio interface instead.
