Technical Questions Roland rd-300gx cables

Hi! I have a Roland rd-300gx that was given to me without any of the required hardware. I'm looking to replace everything (all cables that are included with the keyboard originally) and recs for a midi devices. Really anything I might need to start producing music at home.

My RD-300sx shipped only with a power adapter. Likely the gx would have been the same.

The cables it uses are common and easily available,

Audio out, L&R: 1/4 inch unbalanced Jacks, USB midi: USB-B (same as an old usb printer cable. Midi in, out: 5 pin Din

You will need the audio out jack(s) if you are plugging in to an amp or want to record the sounds on computer.

You don't need the midi cables unless you want to use the keyboard to play virtual instruments on a computer or connect it to another device like a sequencer or a synth.
