Jakes Daddy Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi,Just in the process of building my MB project (most of the parts have arrived, some of the kits built already, all coming along very nicely :) ), and it dawned on me last night that my PC does not have MIDI in/out ports !! (doh !)What I do have however is an M-Audio Oxygen8 keyboard which has a pair of 5 pin dins which look like MIDI in/out but suspisiously are not labeled as such:Am I right in thinking these are not MIDI in/out that I can use with my MB project ??Assuming I can't use them, can anyone suggest a cheap USB MIDI port ? (my PC does not have a game port as otherwise I'd use that !)CheersJD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakes Daddy Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have found plenty on flea bay such as this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-MIDI-CABLE-INTERFACE-FOR-CUBASE-SONAR-etc_W0QQitemZ110093870283QQihZ001QQcategoryZ123445QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThat would do the job I assume? But cheap'n'nasty though?CheersNathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Am I right in thinking these are not MIDI in/out that I can use with my MB project ??RTFM, I just did it online ;)... Yes, you're right. It's only a MIDI OUT coming from the PC side.Greets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 but suspisiously are not labeled as suchright!In this case, the Midi Data is coming:- from the controller (left: "MIDI-OUT Keyboard")- from the computer (right: "MIDI-OUT USB")The problem is though, that you don't have no MIDI-In, wich means you can get data to your MB but not from it.The eBay link seems a bit expensive to me, look here:http://www.thomann.de/gb/search_dir.html?sw=midi+interface&x=0&y=0Best regards,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
