Hi. Thanks for the video. I have two questions: if the midi out of the device has phantom power will the adapter work? And if the device only has midi out and not midi in, will the adapter work with one of the plugs not connected?

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 года назад

It does work with just the MIDI out and in being used as many more modern MIDI keyboards only have one. MIDI doesn't ever send phantom power in my experience, but I'm far from an expert.

Hey Pete, I have a piano with Midi In/Out. I know the Midi Out is working 100%, never used Midi In yet so I can't say for sure but I assume it also works. Questions: 1) Can I connect such a cable to only the piano's midi out, essentially only connecting one of the midi ends? 2) Does the USB light on yours light up already when you only have the USB connected but not the midi? Reason I'm asking is because I got a similar (but different brand) cable yesterday simply can't get it to work at all. None of the LEDs are lighting up at all. I tried different USB ports on my PC already and also on my tablet.

@PeteJohnsMusic Год назад

Hey there. Yes, you can totally use for just MIDI out from a keyboard. That’s how I use mine. And the issue with it not working? I’ve found that cheaper cables are super unreliable which is why I recommend the Roland/Edirol version. It’s a little more expensive but everyone I’ve recommended it to has had success.

@randomgraham4302 2 года назад

Silly question but is it better to use midi 5 port cables that connect to USB, or using midi to midi that plugs in to the back of audio interface? I plan on using my Yamaha keyboard to play in Ableton and Studio 1-4. Great video !

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 года назад

Hey there. So, really doesn’t make much difference in my experience. Direct USB MIDI seems to be the best option most of the time but the Edirol/Roland adapter is really good and super low latency.

@lilnifty 3 года назад

Can you use the functions like octave, volume?

@cookiesandcream7303 4 года назад

@PeteJohnsMusic 4 года назад

If you just want to send MIDI from your keyboard to PC you can use this adapter cable and just plug in to the MIDI out. 👍

@contra31 4 года назад

Do the MIDI to USB converters generally introduce any lag? It doesn't look like your setup in the video has much lag, if any. But even a small amount can be annoying.

@PeteJohnsMusic 4 года назад

The cheaper ones can introduce quite a lot of latency, but the more advanced and higher quality ones like the Roland are actually surprisingly low latency. 👍

Hi thank you for your great review, I am wondering if you can give me some advice, I have been playing with the old school type midi in midi out Roland G 1000 GS ready keyboard sythesizer on which I would save commercial midi files 50 60 70's etc., onto a floppy disc then insert the disc into the keyboard which worked great, but the LCD display is fading and I can't get a part for it anymore a shame, so I would love to find a keyboard that is GS midi ready that I can save all my midi files from the floppy to a USB stick as that is the way go now and hopefully can plug the USB straight into the keyboard without the use of blue tooth computer etc. but if not, I am wondering if this cable that you are talking about would work from my old Roland G1000 to the Ipad, therefore using the Ipad screen in place of the LCD diplay on the keyboard, sorry for the trouble and question your help is so much appreciated, await your reply kind regards Noeline

Unfortunately the designers of this system left room for ambiguity. I struggled for an hour or so with the OUT plug inserted into the OUT socket and the IN plug inserted to the IN socket to no avail.

Great video there Pete. Would this transport velocity information as well ? If so, this could convert any bottom bracket MIDI capable instrument into a super expensive sounding instrument, thanks to some very capable virtual instruments.

If the original price of hardware is sending velocity then the system will pick it up.

Most MIDI controllers will work with most hardware and software as long as it is sending some general MIDI data, so generally you just plug and play!

Some apps send MIDI back to your keyboard which is where MIDI in would be used.

Noob question: My keyboard is a rather old Yamaha, it has only a MIDI Output, and it has two 3.5mm connections, one for AUX output and other for Headphones. I want to connect said keyboard to my laptop to have it act as the notes input while the laptop acts as output; my intention is to use software to change the "voices" my keyboard can play. So, how would I need to go about this task? What software should I use?

Thanks for posting this video. Very informative for someone new to the world of MIDI! I inherited an old Korg SG-1D keyboard. I think this solution should work for me (USB/DIN connector) but the Korg also has a THRU port and some switches for Transmit Channel and Receive Channel. There appear to be 16 channels for each. How do I set those?

@PeteJohnsMusic 5 лет назад

Hmmmm..... I must admit that I use MiDI in quite a basic way. I think this might be more relevant when you are sending and receiving multiple MIDI channels as opposed to just using the keyboard as an input for virtual instruments. It should be just plug and play in terms of using it to trigger sounds.
