I want to connect a MIDI controller to my laptop to have enough power to make it works properly with a 2.0 standard (5v-0.5A). Is it recommendable?

Get the 7 port version with the 4A power supply, that I can say with almost absolute certainty.

It should work, as long as you have a power cord to use with it - even though it does have a power plug, it only comes with the USB cable for some reason.

I do not believe I am qualified to answer that question. I am using the 7 port model and it works great for everythin g my system (printers, scales, etc.)

I purchased the 7 port unit which has a power supply. I am more cofident in say the 7 port unit will work. I doubt the non power unit will work. I hope that helps you.

You can connect this unit to your computer using the USB cable - it'll function as a MIDI controller for your favorite computer software to get even more functionality

Yes you can but do some research on what you would need to hook up your midi. I sure hope that helped you.

No, this is only a controller. You need to connect it to a computer with music/instrument software or a MIDI-compatible instrument (like a synthesizer).

The Keyboard is Powered via USB, but you can pick up a ( Variable ) power supply at Radio Shack 3 to 12 Volt ( 1 Amp ). Use the 6 Volt setting. I've had one for a couple years and it works fine. Very happy with this midi controller. Just be aware, the Pads are a bit stiff. There are fix suggestions online for this, but it's not as touch sensitive as the MPC Pads.

Almost certainly. It's a simple USB MIDI controller, with no drivers or anything like that. It plugs into your computer and will behave as a MIDI input device. Any MIDI-compliant software can receive its data.

It depends on what software you use it with. It's a MIDI controller only, so it produces no sound on its own. It connects to a computer or tablet, and then any software that supports MIDI input should work with it.

I am using it with generic midi win 7 and ableton. There is no driver involved with this cable so it should work just fine

It is powered by USB. You must have a laptop to use this. A USB cord does come with the Midi controller

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

I have this exact audio interface and use it for my AKAI MPK 49 MIDI contoller. I use multiple music programs which this interface works very well with. The only small issue was the driver disc they supplied, you will need to go directly to TASCAM to get the latest drivers (no biggie) Great purchase!

If you mean to a mic, then yes, the front XLR inputs can provide +48V. If you mean through MIDI, then no, the ports are only 5-pin.

Go to Amazon or Ebay and type in USB to MIDI cable and see which one fits your needs. Make sure the ends are correct (male or female).

Yes indeed, this is a class-compliant MIDI device, and is compatible with any program capable of receiving MIDI signals from a controller. It requires no drivers to work with any version of Windows or Mac. This includes 64 bit operating systems, Windows 8, and Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Richard: I just tested this Midi cable running a laptop with Windows 8 64-bit and a Casio LK-55 Keyboard. I'm pleased to tell you that it does work just fine.

its a midi controller, it should work with with any program that accepts midi in or midi out

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I couldn't get the midi interface to work with my computer.
