Hello

 Here is a picture I took this evening:

I've been playing keyboards for 35 years, but I never had much use for MIDI.

 

However, a close family member, a kid age 14, would like to learn the piano. So I dug out my old KORG M1 from the basement, and changed the battery, no problem.

 

However, I cant seem to figure out how to load the files I downloaded from Korg onto the M1.

I watched several videos and followed the instructions, using Bome SendSX to try to load the original Korg sound banks onto the M1, but it´s doesn’t “get there”.

 

I have a USB to Midi cable. And I think this might be the problem:

 

I just plug the USB into my PC and the Midi In into the Midi In port, on the Korg M1.

 

Since I figure I don’t need to Midi Out cable, as I am only trying to load from PC (USB) onto the keyboard (Midi In)

 

I tried switching the cable. I tried everything I can think of.

 

My PC does not have a Midi out port.

 

My question is this:

 

Is there any way to get the sounds loaded onto my M1 without buying additional hardware, with a cable like this? (see picture)

 

I hope that made sense. English is not my native language.

 

Thank you so much for replying.

 

P.S: I could not find out how to include a picture with this post, hence the link to imgBB. Thank you for checking it out.
