Need help finding an external sound card

ber2

Hi guys,

Apologies if this is covered somewhere else, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to this stuff....

I'd like to use some piano/keyboard teaching software I've got knocking about, and need to connect my keyboard to my laptop.

Basically the suite says I need to hook up my keyboard to a sound card's MIDI socket. Problem is, since I only have a laptop I haven't got one.

Are there any cheap external sound cards with a MIDI input? I've had a look at a bunch of external sound cards online, but none seem to explicitly say 'MIDI INPUT'. I'm not after anything high-quality, just a very basic, no-frills solution. Thanks in advance!
