There are a number of such fairly inexpensive USB to MIDI adapters; I've one
from Edirol that works well too.

Alternately, you can buy a controller that is bus-powered by USB. That means
no additional power supply and connection for your controller, *and* no
adapter. (There are also a very few MIDI controllers that draw power from
their MIDI connectors, but none on the current market I know of. And that
includes drawing power through the USB to MIDI adapter.)
