How can I get my MIDI keyboard connected to my Fruity Loops Studio 4 on a laptop w/ no MIDI input socket?

I have FL4, and I was wondering if there was any way I could play the notes on my MIDI keyboard (equipped of course with input and output ports) and have them transferred to Fruity Loops, in order to stretch them or rearrange? I have a cord already but no port on my laptop, and so I got this other cord to connect the keyboard from its headphone jack to the laptop%26#039;s microphone jack, allowing me to record the notes into my Cool Edit Pro recording software. That%26#039;s cool, but I can%26#039;t manipulate the notes and I can%26#039;t even hear what I%26#039;m playing as I%26#039;m playing it, because the keyboard, with its headphone jack occupied, is muted. What can I do to get my music in my editing software?

See if you can go through the USB port. You might need a USB adapter.
Reply:Go to Guitar Center. Buy a USB device that has MIDI in. That%26#039;s the only way.
Reply:I had the same problem. I brought an Edirol UM-1 MIDI-USB adaptor. Works amazing with Cubase and any other audio product, including FruityLoops.





Cost me £35 (roughly $50)
