MIDI to USB - Is it possible? Has anyone had any luck making the connection?

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

Yes, absolutely. It's class compliant, so it will work with windows, mac, anything that accepts class compliant USB midi devices. Just plug the USB cable into both your device and computer, and windows will recognize it. Next, go into Cakewalk and select it as a midi input in settings.

it depends on what u mean u cant plug the midi keyboard into the interface but it is the same usb cable you plug into an audio interface

Yeah it has a midi output. Not a usb ouput. I have a midi with a usb so I can connect it to a computer. It is actually for a piano but works fine with the drum set.

No you cannot. It is a MIDI controller so it sends MIDI continuous control messages to your computer via USB. You can use these messages to mix using audio software, but the hardware itself cannot carry audio.

Yes, as other response to question indicates. For more information on specifics and using the USB port, you should be able to download the user manual from the Yamaha site.

You can get a midi to usb cable to do the trick. I have a TASCAM unit that I run my keyboard and mic thru though, because my mic needs phantom power. It came with the cable needed to connect to the PC. The biggest difference would be the price and what, if any other needs you may have.

Ya, use with alesis, kaosscilator and yamaha djx...pretty much the same as midi to midi cables, auto detect under windows and linux. Midi data only...for command and control. Will NOT record audio. (That's not what they are for.)

There's one USB port that's for MIDI connections with a computer. Apparently songs can be uploaded or downloaded -- but I've never used this stuff.

I never tried it as I never needed to, but theoretically it should. The device should be recognized as both audio interface and midi interface, as most audio interfaces with midi ports should. Hope this helps!

It should work out of the box. It will appear in your DAW as a midi device.

this is not, despite being usb-powered, a midi controller, and is not able in any way to my knowledge to connect to an external device -- the usb connection is solely for power, so no, it is not compatible with anything, per se. This issue is addressed specifically in a couple of the reviews, also.

It works in lots of programs set as an midi. What daw (music software) are you using?

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).

I have it hooked up thru MIDI (not USB) as there are no USB ports on this. I'm using the DD-65 to play the sounds from my computer. No lag. Works great.
