That's correct. Most laptops do not have a midi port installed. To record from your synthesizer, you'll need a midi-to-usb adapter. There are simple cables from usb to midi.
Go to Control Panel -> Sounds and audio devices Check your audio input device. You can probably select the correct device there. Please tell me the options in the dropdown, and which one is selected.

you need to buy a sound card that has midi in and usb out, make susre u have a working recording software that will be compatible with your sound card. try cubase and yamaha midi sound card
You can do MIDI recording, using either a software sounds from your comp software, or sounds from external sound module, if you have one. You need a keyboard with MIDI output, MIDI to USB converter and, definitely, a software itself.
Your laptop has a High Definition integrated sound card which will do just fine for low-to mid end recording. You'll just need to hook up your audio source to the Microphone input on your laptop using a standard DIN plug, just like the one used for headphones. Usually the plug is a stereo input so you can have full stereo recording using the Microphone input.

You could look in the manual on Page 5 for connections to external equipment...
Connect a USB cable from your computer to the MPK49. The unit will be powered through the USB connection. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use a computer in your setup or if you wish
to power the MPK49 externally, please plug in a 6V-1A DC power adapter.
2. If you would like to use an external sound module, connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the MPK49 to the MIDI IN of the external device.
3. If you would like to use another MIDI controller in your setup, connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the controller to the MIDI IN of the MPK49.
On Page 13 the first of the FAQ's is:
Question: Does the MPK49 have internal sounds?
Answer: No. The MPK49 is a MIDI-controller, which means that it does not contain any sounds inside but is instead used
to control external sound devices, such as hardware and software synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.
If you lack the manual you can go to retrevo.com and download it for free after you register.
They use pre-programed chips. You will have to use the midi out feature to control another midi capable sound module or midi in to a computer and use the internal sound card.
You have to check were the problems is, with exclude way.
1. you first find out if your "master keyboard" really works: Try to run another program where you can run the the keyboard(you can use a trial and the uninstall it after)
2. if that works then it is another place not the keyboard, then it can bee the program / sound card / configuration . you can find the reason manual here : http://www.scribd.com/doc/13823619/Reason-4-Manual-English Check if the configuration to the midi keyboard is ok. FOR THE SOUND CARD: be sure that you do not have anything else that can interrupt the sound card. Shut down other recorders and other software that use the sound card and bee sure that you use the same sound card configuration (normally it is realtec the default)
If your problem is the socket itself, you cant do anything else but to take it to a service center to check the socket, but make sure that your problem is not software.
I'm not at home right now where all my manuals are so I'll try to explain with out. You will have to set it so that the keyboard is the slave device. Try setting it to Omni receive. It has to be able to listen for all midi channels at once. You have to write a sequence on your computer and hook it to your keyboard by using midi out on the computer to midi in on the keyboard in order for you to use the computer as a controller. If you need the keyboard to create the sequences then you have to hook the midi send on the keyboard to the midi in on the computer play/enter your notes into individual tracks in your software then assign channels, voices etc to each track and save the sequence. Then when you hook it up the other way the sequence will play just like an audio recording except the sound w2on't be there. What you have recorded by creating a sequence is a series of midi messages that the keyboard will receive if you have it set properly and hooked up ptroperly which it will translate into sound. This is a minimalist explanation at best. You will have to have a better understanding of not only your keyboard but also your software and midi in general. There are some pretty amazing things you can do with midi. For instance if you have a lighting controller that is midi capable you can i,mbed all the lighting scene changes for your song in order on one track. You can also control your guitar effects pedal to change effects automatically while your playing. Once you get a handle on it you are only limited by your imagination and your budget. Hope this helps in some way.
1rst- Maybe you choose the incorrect metronome. On analog audio record use your default audio card metronome and on MIDI audio record, use MIDI metronome! 2nd- Check your memory video card & remember your computer speed is as fast as the lowest speed component on it. Pardon my poor English!!!!
I have the midi-usb as well. The problem seems to be the sound card in my computer. It has a midi-out and could send songs to the synthesizer it just cant accepts songs in.
