I am looking for a midi output device that I can plug into a USB port. I I have been running from the game port on my pc which recently crashed. I now have both a pc and a mac. I use VanBasco's juke box software. Thanks in advance for your typically good advice. Don

Ebay "USB TO MIDI CONVERTER" about 16 bucks. Mine has midi plugs on one end and usb on the other with an egg shaped blob in the middle with activity lights. works like a champ. --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "don_shifris" <donn@...> wrote: > > I am looking for a midi output device that I can plug into a USB port.

Depending on quality/distance these go from around $150 to $400. I do not yet have "hands on" experience with these. Considering the noisy nature of computers, it might be good to be able to have the computer in the next room. BTW: I'm new to Yahoo Groups. When I see the posts of others, I do not see their e-mail addresses. When I see my own posts, I do see my address. Do others see mine? If so, how do I hide this? My concern is not with members, its spam-bots collecting addresses.

The Yamaha UX16 MIDI interface ($39) works well with Disklaviers. It has the necessary MIDI cables already attached. MAKE SURE that you connect the MIDI IN to MIDI OUT, and MIDI OUT to MIDI In or it will not work. Carol Beigel ----- Original Message -----
