Got a really old keyboard and don't know how to power it

[vs960315]

Hi all,

I just got a really old version of keyboard. It's Creative Blasterkeys (not even the mp3 one). I think it's from late 90s.

it's a really simple controller. it has 49 keys and nothing else. On the left side there are 3 ports: MPC, MIDI OUT and JOYSTICK.

i'm wondering if it can only be connected to PC via joystick. or it can also be connected via MIDI IN/OUT to usb chord?

thank you for your help

The JOYSTICK port would be an input port for connecting a joystick to the keyboard, so it couldn't be used for connecting to a computer.

You'll need to get a MIDI-to-USB cable and use it to connect to a computer.

Edit: I might be mistaken about the JOYSTICK port. See the following thread:
