If it has MIDI in and out it can work with your PC, you simple will need a USB MIDI Interface such as this:

Here's some information from Casio regarding the AT-1:

It states "16 channel MIDI", and no mention of USB MIDI. If it only has traditional 5 pin MIDI DIN connectors, it doesn't need any drivers for its MIDI to work. It already has standard MIDI functionality.

 

To use it with your computer, you will need a suitable 5 pin DIN MIDI equipped sound card/ interface, and an app or DAW that works with MIDI.

 

In a nutshell, if a device uses USB MIDI, you will need a manufacturer supplied driver or it might already use a class compliant USB driver. If it uses traditional 5 PIN DIN MIDI, it needs no drivers but needs to be connected to a suitable interface to communicate with a computer.
