Question Din to USB connection

Hello all, can anyone advise me on the best connection for a Yamaha PSS-795 keyboard. It has a 5 pin din for the midi connection and i want to connect it to a USB on my computer. I've looked at a few possibilities and an informed opinion would be good. Is there such thing as as adaptor that has female USB and male din , effectively turning the din, on the keyboard, into a USB?
thanks

Re: Din to USB connection

thanks for that. I'd found something similar for £50 so that's £20 less. I thought i might be able to just get a small two way connector that i could use a standard usb lead with.

The item from Maplin is £29.99?????????????

Your Din output as you call it is known as a MIDI interface and does not send audio but sends musical info (inthe form of data info) for Music software to translate, i.e. it will send what key you have pressed. That is why I said look at the FAQ's as you WILL need software like Cakewalk etc.
